    kbuild: check uniqueness of module names · 3a48a919
    Masahiro Yamada 提交于
    In the recent build test of linux-next, Stephen saw a build error
    caused by a broken .tmp_versions/*.mod file:
    
      https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/13/991
    
    drivers/net/phy/asix.ko and drivers/net/usb/asix.ko have the same
    basename, and there is a race in generating .tmp_versions/asix.mod
    
    Kbuild has not checked this before, and it suddenly shows up with
    obscure error messages when this kind of race occurs.
    
    Non-unique module names cause various sort of problems, but it is
    not trivial to catch them by eyes.
    
    Hence, this script.
    
    It checks not only real modules, but also built-in modules (i.e.
    controlled by tristate CONFIG option, but currently compiled with =y).
    Non-unique names for built-in modules also cause problems because
    /sys/modules/ would fall over.
    
    For the latest kernel, I tested "make allmodconfig all" (or more
    quickly "make allyesconfig modules"), and it detected the following:
    
    warning: same basename if the following are built as modules:
      drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko
      drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko
