Yes, I sent the patch implementing the more complex solution. I sent it to the mailing list for review, but haven't get many feedbacks except the ones from antrik.
I wanted more feedbacks before posting it here.
I did very fundamental change in rpctrace and the patch is very large. I think it's much easier to give feedbacks in the mailing list.

You mean you have sent the patch earlier?  You should probably post it
here too for the record, as patches on lists tend to get forgotten
about.

This patch can make rpctrace to trace all threads but cannot really enable rpctrace to work with multitask programs properly. That's why I send a more complex solution to the mailing list.
Do you think I should commit the patch?

The git transition is done, please commit my fixed version of the
patch.

Just spelling & cosmetic changes.  I believe it can be commited (but
only after Thomas finishes the migration to git of course).

The name is assigned to the new created task or thread port, so usually there shouldn't be any names, but I update the patch to check it.

Please put a comment just to make clear that this is the thread_create case.

Aren't you leaking the previous ti->name's memory here?

rpctrace wraps all task and thread control ports by calling task_set_kernel_port() and thread_set_kernel_port().
In order to trace the first thread of the first task, rpctrace keeps checking exec_startup_get_info() (I assume exec_startup_get_info is always called when the traced program starts.)
This patch solves bug #3939[1] with the solution discussed in http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?1633
