When creating probe names, a check is done to make sure it matches basic C standard variable naming standards. Basically, starts with alphabetic or underline, and then the rest of the characters have alpha-numeric or underline in them. But system names do not have any true naming conventions, as they are created by the TRACE_SYSTEM macro and nothing tests to see what they are. The "xhci-hcd" trace events has a '-' in the system name. When trying to attach a eprobe to one of these trace points, it fails because the system name does not follow the variable naming convention because of the hyphen, and the eprobe checks fail on this. Allow hyphens in the system name so that eprobes can attach to the "xhci-hcd" trace events.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
