:Along with snagging the "easy ones" for MP safeness, shouldn't getpid
:be MP safe? The struct proc is allocated from the proc_zone, and
:afaik zalloc allows for stable storage meaning it's safe to dereference
:the ppid pointer once the entire struct proc is populated, which needs
:to happen before the process can even call getpid().

:phk seems to agree.

The problem is that getpid() also extracts the ppid (look at
the syscall code), which is not MP safe.
