Linus, Christopher,
Commit 0f25c6a78e08fdc15af5e599d836fa24349c042f ("Add warning about duplicate initializers") has a false positive on arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c
CHECK arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c:1823:1: error: symbol '__UNIQUE_ID_alias__COUNTER__' has multiple initializers (originally initialized at arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c:1822)
1822: MODULE_ALIAS_MISCDEV(KVM_MINOR);
1823: MODULE_ALIAS("devname:kvm");
Preprocessing with gcc gives
static const char __UNIQUE_ID_alias0[] __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__((section(".modinfo"), unused, aligned(1))) = "alias" "=" "char-major-" "10" "-" "232";
static const char __UNIQUE_ID_alias1[] __attribute__((__used__)) __attribute__((section(".modinfo"), unused, aligned(1))) = "alias" "=" "devname:kvm";
so alias0 and alias1 instead of __COUNTER__.
I never heard of __COUNTER__ before, so I guess its some gcc magic that sparse should mimic..
