Consider using prctl with PR_SET_NAME to set the process name. This way, users don't have to pass in a pointer to the argument array (which isn't even available in languages like Rust).

So, I tried to use this. But seems to not work. Might be another syscall that is blocked for SUID processes. Dip in kernel source could confirm.
