+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cpu_lwp_fork ,
+.Nm child_return ,
+.Nm lwp_trampoline
+.Nd finish a fork operation
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/proc.h
+.Ft void
+.Fn cpu_lwp_fork "struct lwp *l1" "struct lwp *l2" "void *stack" \
+"size_t stacksize" "void (*func)(void *)" "void *arg"
+.Ft void
+.Fn child_return "void *arg"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn cpu_lwp_fork
+is the machine-dependent portion of
+.Fn fork1
+which finishes a fork operation, with child lwp
+.Fa l2
+nearly set up.
+It copies and updates the PCB and trap frame from the parent
+.Fa l1 ,
+making the child ready to run.
+.Pp
+.Fn cpu_lwp_fork
+rigs the child's kernel stack so that it will start in
+.Fn lwp_trampoline .
+.Fn lwp_trampoline
+does not have a normal calling sequence and is entered by
+.Fn cpu_switchto .
+If an alternate user-level stack is requested (with non-zero values
+in both the
+.Fa stack
+and
+.Fa stacksize
+arguments), the user stack pointer is set up accordingly.
+.Pp
+After being entered by
+.Fn cpu_switchto
+and while running in user context (within the kernel)
+.Fn lwp_trampoline
+will invoke the function
+.Fa func
+with the argument
+.Fa arg .
+If a kernel thread is being created, the return path and argument
+are specified with
+.Fa func
+and
+.Fa arg .
+If a user process is being created,
+.Fn fork1
+will pass
+.Fn child_return
+and
+.Fa l2
+to
+.Fn cpu_lwp_fork
+as
+.Fa func
+and
+.Fa arg
+respectively.
+This causes the newly-created child process to go directly to user
+level with an apparent return value of 0 from
+.Xr fork 2 ,
+while the parent process returns normally.
