This is why I have my doubts. I'm not a hacker and I can figure this
out. You admitted there are secret calls. So how about this:

boolean WeAreEvil = true;

int secretEvilMsCall()
{
WeAreEvil = false;
}

// And all through out the land, Hilter and his troops bloat the
// OS with:

if (WeAreEvil)
doEvilStuff();
else
sayPraiseToBill();

You have thoughtfully proven my point. You cannot provide code that does this, or even an idea about it.

Do you think that other OS'es have no undocumented calls? Mac OS8? SunOS?
