* Description:
* The vfork() function is implemented based on fork() function, on
* vfork(), the parent task need to wait until the child task is performing
* exec or running finished.
*
* Returned Value:
* Upon successful completion, vfork() returns 0 to the child process and
* returns the process ID of the child process to the parent process.
* Otherwise, -1 is returned to the parent, no child process is created,
* and errno is set to indicate the error.
