Currently, KBUILD_MODNAME is defined only when $(modname) contains
just one word. If an object is shared among multiple modules,
undefined KBUILD_MODNAME could cause a build error. For example,
if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled, any call of printk() populates
.modname, then fails to build due to undefined KBUILD_MODNAME.
Take the following code as an example:
obj-m += foo.o
obj-m += bar.o
foo-objs := foo-bar-common.o foo-main.o
bar-objs := foo-bar-common.o bar-main.o
In this case, there is room for argument what to define for
KBUILD_MODNAME when foo-bar-common.o is being compiled.
"foo", "bar", or what else?
One idea is to define colon-separated modules that share the object,
in this case, "bar:foo" (modules are sorted alphabetically by
$(sort ...).
