In linux (Since 2.6.9) we can use syscall prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "Some thread name") to set thread name to the kernel. This thread is seen under this name in some process tool (like top, ps, pstree (have bug reported connected with this) and others). It will be nice if this syscall will be called (from correspoding thread=TID) when changing (setting) thread name. Note, that in current implementation name will be truncated to 15 bytes in kernel. This work very well using ctypes or python-prctl module. Also there is error in manpage about prctl saying that name is set to process (already sent to maintainer). Really, name is set to each thread. |

This is effectively a duplicate of issue 5672. Are you interested in carrying through the process outlined there by Martin? Otherwise we should close this issue as well until someone does propose to do so. |

I'd also point out that changing the kernel thread name *by default* would be pretty much a large regression. |

It's a dupe of #15500. |
