Commit Message

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 message 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.

I tested allmodconfig on the latest kernel, 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:

Changes in v2:
 - redirect messages to stderr
 - use '--' after 'basename -a'
 - use '-r' for xargs to cope with empty modules.order/modules.builtin

One more question popped up.

External modules are out of scope of the community,
but it is possible that people create an external module
that happens to have the same name as an upstream driver.

drivers/this/is/upstream/subsystem/foo.ko
/home/fred/my/own/external/module/foo.ko

Is modprobe confused in this case too?

Perhaps, checking for the M= build
might be good too...

Hi Masahiro,

Thanks for this, looks good to me.  Just a nit below.

This trailing '\' is unnecessary after a pipe symbol.

That is their bug, nothing we can do about that :)

It's actually not a bug. For external modules it works pretty much as
intended. See DEPMOD.D(5): the search directive tells what's the
preference among the directories for modules with the same name.
depmod respects that order and put the right one into your
modules.dep.

This allows to put external modules in a different dir and also to
make backports of modules from recent to ancient kernels.  These
modules with the same name are usually the same module, with a
different version. Of course what we have here and you are fixing is a
different story.

The 'xargs' '-r' flag is a GNU extension.
If POSIX compliance is important here, the use of 'cat', 'xargs' and
'basename' may be substituted with that of 'sed' to initialise
same_name_modules:
sed 's!.*/!!' modules.order modules.builtin | sort | uniq -d

'Sed' may also be used on its own in the 'for' loop instead of as part
of a pipeline along with 'grep' to generate the desired output:
sed '/\/'$m'/!d;s:^kernel/:  :' modules.order modules.builtin

Just a suggestion.

's!' is TTBOMK also a GNU-extension:
sed 's/.*\///' modules.order modules.builtin | sort | uniq -d

It isn't.
Here's an excerpt from the POSIX manpage for 'sed',
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sed.html:
[2addr]s/BRE/replacement/flags
...  Any character other than backslash or <newline> can be used
instead of a slash to delimit the BRE and the replacement....

The parameter expansion syntax is redundant here.
See https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_02:
The parameter name or symbol can be enclosed in braces, which are
optional except for positional parameters with more than one digit or
when parameter is a name and is followed by a character that could be
interpreted as part of the name.

Here's an alternative version using double quotes.
sed "/\/$m/!d;s:^kernel/:  :" modules.order modules.builtin

Oops, yup, sorry for the noise.
Don't know anymore where I encountered problems with that in the past ....

Awesome!
This is much shorter.
I will use it in v3.
