Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] kbuild: define KBUILD_MODNAME even if multiple modules share objects
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 18:01:24 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1521450087-27291-2-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1521450087-27291-1-git-send-email-yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>

Currently, KBUILD_MODNAME is defined only when $(modname) contains
just one word.  If an object is shared among multiple modules,
undefined KBUILD_MODNAME could cause a build error.  For example,
if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, any call of printk() populates
.modname, then fails to build due to undefined KBUILD_MODNAME.

Take the following code as an example:

  obj-m += foo.o
  obj-m += bar.o
  foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-main.o
  bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-main.o

In this case, there is room for argument what to define for
KBUILD_MODNAME when foo-bar-common.o is being compiled.
"foo", "bar", or what else?

One idea is to define colon-separated modules that share the object,
in this case, "bar:foo" (modules are sorted alphabetically by
$(sort ...).
