Subject: reserved identifier violation

Hello,

I find that identifiers like the following do not fit to the expected naming
convention of the C language standard.
- _ALPHA_BUG_H

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/alpha/include/asm/bug.h?id=acadbfb90a54673d6c8b05aa4e93218433890411#n1

- __BARRIER_H

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/alpha/include/asm/barrier.h?id=77b4cf5cb0c9d6010a18030a0e0a8d2aaf6b43ec#n1

- _UAPI__ALPHA_COMPILER_H

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/alpha/include/uapi/asm/compiler.h?id=96433f6ee49032d7a8bda76de2b05cfde2914354#n1


Would you like to adjust the selection for unique names?
