[PATCH] Module rewrite 1/20: KBUILD_MODNAME

[Rusty Russell]

Hi Linus,

	I leave in about 28 hours for my wedding + honeymoon, back 14
October.  So now is a good time to apply the module replacement
patches.  They survive stress testing here.

Trivial replacement module utils:
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/module-init-tools-0.5.tar.gz

After all these patches, the TODO list:
1) Merge other architectures (see my page for some of them).

2) Trivial module utils's modprobe should be taught to read
   modules.conf and device table.s

3) Convert the remaining __setup() calls (the core kernel and anything
   I needed is already converted).

4) Module versioning makefile work (discussed with Kai, he likes it).

5) Most modules won't remove without rmmod -f until they get looked
   over and changed to module_fini() (this marks them as "audited").

And if any problems occur while I'm away, you have the source 8)

The entire patch rolled into one can be found at:
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/patches/module-x86-25-09-2002.2.5.38.diff.gz

Rusty.

Name: KBUILD_MODNAME define for build system
Author: Kai Germaschewski
Status: Tested on 2.5.38

D: This patch adds a -DKBUILD_MODNAME to the kernel compile, which
D: contains the base of the module name which is being built.
D: 
D: - Some sreorganization of the c_flags since they're needed for
D:   generating modversions (.ver) and compiling
D: - Use the right KBUILD_MODNAME also when the user just wants a .i/.s/.lst 
D:   file for debugging and also when generating modversions
D: - It looks like with your current approach you can't have a ',' or '-' in
D:   KBUILD_MODNAME - however, that means that KBUILD_MODNAME is not quite
D:   right for passing module parameters for built-in modules on the command
D:   line, it would be confusing to pass parameters for ide-cd as 
D:   ide_cd.foo=whatever. So that part could use a little more thought.
D: - If you think your module_names trick makes a noticable difference, feel
D:   free to re-add it.
D: - It's possible that objects are linked into more than one module - I 
D:   suppose this shouldn't be a problem, since these objects hopefully
D:   don't have a module_init() nor do they export symbols. Not sure if your
D:   patch did handle this.
