...if the target > application has to be changed anyway then why not simply use a > transparent and proper signaling mechanism like poll on a fd. That The goal is to have cryprographically-safe get_random_number() with 0 syscalls. You'd need to do: if (!poll(did_i_migrate)) { use_prng_seed(); if (poll(did_i_migrate)) { /* oops_they_migrated_me_in_middle_of_computation, lets_redo_it() */ goto retry: } } Which means two syscalls..
