According to POSIX.1, "vfork() has the same effect as fork(2), except that the behavior is undefined if the process created by vfork() either modifies any data other than a variable of type pid_t used to store the return value from vfork(), [...], or calls any other function before successfully calling _exit(2) or one of the exec(3) family of functions." These do all three, and work by pure chance (or maybe they don't, but we blisfully don't know). Either way: bad idea to call vfork() from C, unless you're the standard library, and POSIX.1-2008 removes it entirely Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Closes #12015
