From 9435dc77a33fa20afec7cd35ceaae5f7f42dbbe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2024 00:46:15 +0900 Subject: modpost: distinguish same module paths from different dump files Since commit 13b25489b6f8 ("kbuild: change working directory to external module directory with M="), module paths are always relative to the top of the external module tree. The module paths recorded in Module.symvers are no longer globally unique when they are passed via KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS for building other external modules, which may result in false-positive "exported twice" errors. Such errors should not occur because external modules should be able to override in-tree modules. To address this, record the dump file path in struct module and check it when searching for a module.
