Potential solution to full in-memory startup #8

Closed vakabus closed 4 years ago

memfd_create syscall creates an anonymous file stored in RAM. fexecve syscall can execute a file descriptor or we could execute the /proc/self/fd/FD_NUMBER symbolic file by a normal exec. This could make startup time considerably shorter.

Nice! This would also remove the clutter we create in the working directory and remove the need for write rights on disk :)
