Since pid=0 returns the capabilities for the calling thread,
we can remove getpid and use pid=0 instead of it. Also we
can cover this test point.

Since I defined static struct, I think it doesn't need pid=0 assignment. 
I will send a v2 and add comment.

If you are at it, can you also allocate guarded buffers instead?
