[Bug libc/11390] New: support for pthread_setname_np() / pthread_getname_np()

["johnstul at us dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Since 2.6.33, the Linux kernel now allows thread-siblings to rename task comm
values via the /proc/self/task/<tid>/comm value. Glibc could include support for
the  pthread_setname_np() / pthread_getname_np()interfaces to expose this feature.

An initial rough RFC patch for this support was sent the libc-help list, but got
no reply:
