On linux just making this interface call "something" from the VDSO that - does not block. - cannot ever fail or if it does indeed need to bail out it kills the calling thread as last resort. (if neither of those can be provided, we are back to square one) Will be beyond awesome because it could be usable everywhere, including the dynamic linker, malloc or whatever else question is..is there any at least experimental patch with a hope of beign accepted available ?
