kbuild: check uniqueness of module names
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 warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/gpu/drm/bridge/adv7511/adv7511.ko drivers/media/i2c/adv7511.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/net/phy/asix.ko drivers/net/usb/asix.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: fs/coda/coda.ko drivers/media/platform/coda/coda.ko warning: same basename if the following are built as modules: drivers/net/phy/realtek.ko drivers/net/dsa/realtek.ko Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Reviewed-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@intel.com>
