/* Supported prctl() commands.
 *
 *  PR_SET_NAME
 *    Set the name of the calling thread, using the value in the location
 *    pointed to by (char *) arg2. The name can be up to
 *    CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE long, including the terminating null byte.
 *    (If the length of the string, including the terminating null byte,
 *    exceeds CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE bytes, the string is silently truncated.)
 *    As an example:
 *
 *      prctl(PR_SET_NAME, "MyName");
 *
 *  PR_GET_NAME
 *    Return the name of the calling thread, in the buffer pointed to by
 *    (char *) arg2.  The buffer should allow space for up to
 *    CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE bytes; the returned string will be
 *    null-terminated. As an example:
 *
 *      char myname[CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE];
 *      prctl(PR_GET_NAME, myname);
 *
 *  PR_SET_NAME_EXT
 *    Set the task (or thread) name for the thread whose ID is in required
 *    arg2 (int), using the value in the location pointed to by required arg1
 *    (char*).  The name can be up to CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE long (including
 *    any null termination).  The thread ID of 0 will set the name of the
 *    calling thread. As an example:
 *
 *      prctl(PR_SET_NAME_EXT, "MyName", pid);
 *
 *  PR_GET_NAME_EXT
 *    Return the task (or thread) name for the for the thread whose ID is
 *    optional arg2 (int), in the buffer pointed to by optional arg1
 *    (char *). The buffer must be CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE long (including
 *    any null termination). As an example:
 *
 *      char myname[CONFIG_TASK_NAME_SIZE];
 *      prctl(PR_GET_NAME_EXT, myname, pid);
