Can you explain this further? When would it cache the value and when
would it be returned? I was at least hoping to avoid calling prctl()
every time when I want process title changed.
I think Solaris saves the first 80 chars of the initial cmdline to
kernel memory and gives that to ps. I guess doing something similar and
returning it only when userspace memory can't be accessed would be ok.
