Most of these syscalls are already covered by some tests.
For a general idea what's already covered and what's not, see e.g.
https://codecov.io/gh/strace/strace
wrt uid/gid related syscalls, it's
https://codecov.io/gh/strace/strace/src/master/uid.c

Well, strace is a 25 year old project, so most of low hanging fruits has
already been picked.  You can have a look at those parts of code that are
not fully covered by tests yet, namely, parsers fcntl, ioctl, and prctl
syscalls.
