/* This file deals with creating processes (via FORK) and deleting them (via
 * EXIT/WAIT4).  When a process forks, a new slot in the 'mproc' table is
 * allocated for it, and a copy of the parent's core image is made for the
 * child.  Then the kernel and file system are informed.  A process is removed
 * from the 'mproc' table when two events have occurred: (1) it has exited or
 * been killed by a signal, and (2) the parent has done a WAIT4.  If the
 * process exits first, it continues to occupy a slot until the parent does a
 * WAIT4.
 *
 * The entry points into this file are:
 *   do_fork:		perform the FORK system call
 *   do_srv_fork:	special FORK, used by RS to create sys services
 *   do_exit:		perform the EXIT system call (by calling exit_proc())
 *   exit_proc:		actually do the exiting, and tell VFS about it
 *   exit_restart:	continue exiting a process after VFS has replied
 *   do_wait4:		perform the WAIT4 system call
 *   wait_test:		check whether a parent is waiting for a child
