Some things have changed in over the years:

* getpid() no longer cached by glibc, so it's always a syscall, now

* syscalls are more expensive due to CPU vulnerability mitigations

* Ractor becoming usable/available in Ruby 3+

* system/popen/backtick use vfork() since Ruby 2.2

* JIT exists:

Is there a way to expose Ruby methods/procs as C function pointers with JIT?

If so, Fiddle may be usable to call pthread_atfork(3) and have
it use JIT-exposed C function pointers.

That would be generally useful for interacting with other C libraries,
not just for pthread_atfork.
