Works on glibc just fine.
setuid() is on the list of signal-safe functions.
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html
How about you call getpid() and check if you're on the process you
think you're on before calling __synccall? Somebody else might have
done syscall(SYS_fork).

I'm tired of paying the page fault penalty in the parent. It has a
majority of system RAM, and most of the pages are CoW long after the
vfork child hits execve.
