Subject: Re: [PATCH] Wasm support patch 2 (static syscalls)
Oh dear, confusion between setuid and getuid is embarrassing!
You're quite right, we don't really need to make setuid work well, any applications intend to use it for something useful won't be portable to Wasm without some modification.
The (much slimmer) patch that just turns off __syscall_cp for Wasm is attached below. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think calling __setxid even makes sense in wasm code. Do you
actually have a multiuser model with a privileged user who can change
uid to other users?
Cancellation is actually hard to do via an approach like this, since
you need some mechanism for determining the point at which the syscall
has atomically succeeded versus being blocked with no side effects
yet. Implementing it would probably require doing something similar to
what midipix does, but for now it can probably just be omitted.
