I wonder about the wisdom of using a shared-memory locks (such as a futex) between process with different uids. Presumably the reason that they have different uids is that they don't trust each other.
One way of setting up shared memory is by mapping a tmpfs file in memory. One can control which processes can map such a file by assigning proper (group) security attributes to it.
