Please bear with me as I'm new to kbuild. I'm compiling a driver for the kernel 2.6.18 The command 'make' reads the Makefile(s) and builds the .*.o.cmd files from the driver source code. I see this string in the .*.o.cmd file as gcc parameter: -D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(dma_module)" My problem is that dma_module is a name that does neither exist in any source file of the driver nor in any Makefile. Question: how does 'make' detects/writes that name, dma_module ? Also, I cannot find any documentation for kbuild in this kernel version. Any hint about where I can find it?
