Description
Some utils have splice() fast-path which masks slow-path used at non-Linux platforms e.g. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/11801

Research direction
Start by reading uutils/coreutils#11801 and the transferred discussion in pull request #12131, since no source file or benchmark is named here. Identify the affected utility benchmarks and determine how syscall failure injection should expose the slow path; done means the benchmark can reliably exercise that path instead of always using the splice() fast path.
