    lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM · 8a6f0b47
    Valentin Rothberg 提交于
    The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
    modules (LKM).  The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
    convention.  The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
    module.
    
    Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
    it.  The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
    the autoconf.h header file during the build process.  When a feature is
    selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
    indicate it.
    
    	switch (*value) {
    	case 'n':
    		break;
    	case 'm':
    		suffix = "_MODULE";
    		/* fall through */
    
    This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
    use of the "_MODULE" suffix.
    
    This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
    "TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.
