kernel_type_name was introduced in commit9e15db6613("bpf: Implement accurate raw_tp context access via BTF") with type signature: const char *kernel_type_name(u32 id) At that time the function used global btf_vmlinux BTF for all id lookups. Later, in commit22dc4a0f5e("bpf: Remove hard-coded btf_vmlinux assumption from BPF verifier"), the type signature was changed to: static const char *kernel_type_name(const struct btf* btf, u32 id) With the btf parameter used for lookups instead of global btf_vmlinux. The helper will function as expected for type name lookup using non-kernel BTFs, and will be used for such in further patches in the series. Let's rename it to avoid incorrect assumptions that might arise when seeing the current name.

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.
