There is currently hard-coded logic spread around the tree for determining the note name for regset notes emitted in coredumps. Now that the names are declared explicitly in <uapi/elf.h>, this can be simplified. In preparation for getting rid of the special-case logic, add an explicit core_note_name field in struct user_regset for specifying the note name explicitly. To help avoid mistakes, a convenience macro USER_REGSET_NOTE_TYPE() is provided to set .core_note_type and .core_note_name based on the note type. When dumping core, use the new field to set the note name, if the regset specifies it.

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.
