[PATCH] module names fix
By Kai Germaschewski:
"Well, I have another solution, which doesn't need additional Makefile
magic or anything.
I just put the module name into each .o file where <linux/module.h> is
included. Putting it into the section .gnu.linkonce.modname has the effect
that even for multi-part modules, we only end up with one copy of the
name.
Caveat: I'm using the preprocessor macro KBUILD_MODNAME to know what to
put into .gnu.linkonce.modname. The following used to happen:
(drivers/isdn/eicon/Makefile)
divas-objs := common.o Divas_mod.o ...
eicon-objs := common.o eicon_mod.o ...
Divas_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas
eicon_mod.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=eicon
common.o is compiled with -DKBUILD_MODNAME=divas_eicon
So in the case above, both divas.o and eicon.o would end up with
a .gnu.linkonce.modname section containing "divas_eicon"
My fix to this is to not define KBUILD_MODNAME when compiling an object
whilch will be linked into more than one module - so common.o gets no
.gnu.linkonce.modname section at all. Works fine here.
Now, doing this I remove one of the reasons why we would need modules
linked as '.ko' ;), but it seems much cleaner than generating a temporary
file, using objcopy etc."
