If I'm running emacsclient with an emacs daemon in the background and I make
changes, say, to my .emacs, then I'd like to restart the entire emacs.
Apparently M-x eval-buffer doesn't go emacs-wide, that is, I think I need to
restart the daemon too, right? I've seen ways of killing the daemon, i.e.,
(kill-emacs) etc., but is it possible to just restart the daemon?

It should be enough, but you would have to be extracareful to make your
~/.emacs idempotent, and this would be hard.

There's no restart(2) syscall, no. Only fork(2), exec(2) and _exit(2).
