This patch set added name checking for PTR, ARRAY, VOLATILE, TYPEDEF,
CONST, RESTRICT, STRUCT, UNION, ENUM and FWD types. Such a strict
name checking makes BTF more sound in the kernel and future
BTF-to-header-file converesion ([1]) less fragile.
Patch #1 implemented btf_name_valid_identifier() for name checking
which will be used in Patch #2.
Patch #2 checked name validity for the above mentioned types.
Patch #3 fixed two existing test_btf unit tests exposed by the strict
name checking.
Patch #4 added additional test cases.
This patch set is against bpf tree.
Patch #1 has been implemented in bpf-next commit
Commit 2667a2626f4d ("bpf: btf: Add BTF_KIND_FUNC
and BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO"), so there is no need to apply this
patch to bpf-next. In case this patch is applied to bpf-next,
there will be a minor conflict like
diff --cc kernel/bpf/btf.c
index a09b2f94ab25,93c233ab2db6..000000000000

return "(anon)";
Just resolve the conflict by taking the "const char ..." line.
Patches #2, #3 and #4 can be applied to bpf-next without conflict.
