kbuild: check uniqueness of module names
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 messages 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.
For the latest kernel, I tested "make allmodconfig all" (or more
quickly "make allyesconfig modules"), and it detected the following:
warning: same basename if the following are built as modules:
drivers/regulator/88pm800.ko
drivers/mfd/88pm800.ko
