[lttng-dev] [RFC PATCH 2/2] Add -ust to the name of UST threads of the application

Thu Apr 21 20:50:33 UTC 2016


Add the required functions to change the thread name of the UST
threads and add the -ust string at its end. This will help to
identify LTTng-UST processes when analyzing the trace of a process.
