[PATCH] ARM: kprobes: Rename test-kprobes.ko to test-kprobes-arm.ko

From: Nathan Chancellor

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 01:46:55 EST


When scripts/modules-check.sh is fixed to normalize the module's name
like name-fix-token does in scripts/Makefile.lib before checking that it
is unique [1], there is an error due to lib/tests/test_kprobes.ko and
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-kprobes.ko having the same module name.

error: the following would cause module name conflict:
arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-kprobes.ko
lib/tests/test_kprobes.ko

$ modinfo arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-kprobes.ko lib/tests/test_kprobes.ko | grep name:
filename: arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-kprobes.ko
name: test_kprobes
filename: lib/tests/test_kprobes.ko
name: test_kprobes

Rename arch/arm/probes/kprobes/test-kprobes.ko to test-kprobes-arm.ko to
make its module name unique and clear up the error.

We would like to take [1] for 7.5 in kbuild-next, so we would appreciate
an ack to take this directly or a stable branch that we can pull in.
