Rather than a system call names zonk, why not a simple program
(because the function is really too specific for a system call). It would;
gather the output of ps to find the uid's processes,
do
{
send SIGSTOP to all of the processes,
gather the output of ps to find the uid's processes,
} while (ps's view of user's processes remain same || some limit is reached)
send SIGKILL to all of the processes.
