Created attachment 242045 [details] Thread name patch Add support for naming threads on Linux. setname_np is only available on recent glibc, whereas prctl is there on every libc. The scavenger thread name is shortened a bit, as the Linux limit is 15 chars.

Sorry, I'm not going to bother. The webkit project has made it abundantly clear they do not want outside contributions, not just with this patch (seriously, taking two years to reply!).
