Perf team, has any one been interested in implementing posix_spawn() as system call to improve performance? posix_spawn() is implemented as sequence of vforkx and execve currently with many intermediate system calls around it. From by looking at it and the kernel code of vforkx and execve it might be beneficial to turn the whole thing into one single system call.
