[PATCH 1/2] modpost: add module as parameter to modpost_log()
From: Jani Nikula
Date: Fri Aug 07 2026 - 13:02:17 EST
modpost has a lot of error logging with module name, but the module name
is logged in a plethora of ways. Add struct module * parameter to
modpost_log(), and wrappers mod_warn() and mod_error(), to allow logging
with a unified module name, if provided.
If the module is provided, the messages will be of the format:
(ERROR|WARNING): modpost: (modname.ko|vmlinux): message
Actual conversion is done separately.
