Linux kernel source tree
Add a regexp to make sure all names which may end up being visible to the user consist of lower case characters, numbers and dashes. Underscores keep sneaking into the specs, which is not visible in the C code but makes the Python and alike inconsistent. Note that starting with a number is okay, as in C the full name will include the family name. For legacy families we can't enforce the naming in the family name or the multicast group names, as these are part of the binary uAPI of the kernel. For classic netlink we need to allow capital letters in names of struct members. TC has some structs with capitalized members.

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 reStructuredText 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.
