This patch added name checking for the following types:
. BTF_KIND_PTR, BTF_KIND_ARRAY, BTF_KIND_VOLATILE,
BTF_KIND_CONST, BTF_KIND_RESTRICT:
the name must be null
. BTF_KIND_STRUCT, BTF_KIND_UNION: the struct/member name
is either null or a valid identifier
. BTF_KIND_ENUM: the enum type name is either null or a valid
identifier; the enumerator name must be a valid identifier.
. BTF_KIND_FWD: the name must be a valid identifier
. BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF: the name must be a valid identifier
For those places a valid name is required, the name must be
a valid C identifier. This can be relaxed later if we found
use cases for a different (non-C) frontend.

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.
