From 3a48a91901c516a46a3406ea576798538a8d94d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Sat, 18 May 2019 01:07:15 +0900 Subject: 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 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Stephen Rothwell Reviewed-by: Lucas De Marchi --- Makefile | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'Makefile') diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index e5414f78e123..1232a1454d5c 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1288,6 +1288,7 @@ modules: $(vmlinux-dirs) $(if $(KBUILD_BUILTIN),vmlinux) modules.builtin $(Q)$(AWK) '!x[$$0]++' $(vmlinux-dirs:%=$(objtree)/%/modules.order) > $(objtree)/modules.order @$(kecho) ' Building modules, stage 2.'; $(Q)$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/scripts/Makefile.modpost + $(Q)$(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/modules-check.sh modules.builtin: $(vmlinux-dirs:%=%/modules.builtin) $(Q)$(AWK) '!x[$$0]++' $^ > $(objtree)/modules.builtin -- cgit
