So... it looks like we have both kernel/lib/crc32.ko and
kernel/crypto/crc32.ko - module names should be global. It doesn't clash in
the kernel build because kernel/lib/crc32 is builtin most of the time.

With that commit in kmod there was a change on the builtin detection to fix
the race. I'll take a look to fix this, but it should probably be
fixed in the kernel
as well.

Rusty and ohers: it looks like both CONFIG_CRC32 and
CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32 can be compiled as module, and they generate
modules with the same name, crc32. Could that be fixed?

Gah. Looks like it's been that way since at least 2014, too.

I think we could rename it to crypto_crc32, but I don't think it's the
only one. Marco, I think depmod should probably FAIL if two modules
have the same name, which would at least find such problems.

(BTW is there a nice way to figure out if a config var is a tristate? These
are only problematic if both CONFIG_ are tristate.)

Here's a hacky attempt to look for problems:

rusty@rusty-Lemur:~/devel/kernel/linux (master)$ KCONFIGS=`find * -name 'Kconfig*'`; for m in `find [b-z]* -name 'Makefile*'`; do sed -n 's,obj-\$(CONFIG.*+= \([a-z0-9_-]\+\.o\)$,'$m' \1,p' <$m | sort -u; done | sort -k 2 | uniq -D -f 1 | while read m obj; do fgrep -w $obj $m /dev/null; done | while read LINE; do conf=`echo $LINE | sed 's/.*\$(CONFIG_\([A-Z0-9_]*\).*/\1/'`; if grep -C2 "^config $conf\$" $KCONFIGS | fgrep -q tristate; then echo $LINE; fi; done

Here are the results (mildly filtered by me):

The duplicates under drivers/gpu/drm/omapdrm/ and
drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/ are (hopefully) harmless, as the DRM driver
and the fbdev driver are mutually exclusive.

This patch renames it to crc32_generic.

Subject: crypto: crc32 - Rename generic implementation

The generic crc32 implementation is currently called crc32. This
is a problem because it clashes with the lib implementation of crc32.

This patch renames the crypto crc32 to crc32_generic so that it is
consistent with crc32c. An alias for the driver is also added.

Indeed causes issues if both are built as modules, only once succeeds.
I will post these 2 patches separately soon.

Yes, I'll do that on kmod, but we need to pay attention to 2 things:

- It's possible 2 modules with the same names if they come from
different locations (with different priorities)
- It doesn't fix the case in which one is a module and the other is
builtin. We could still have problem with such a scenario, like was
pointed out in this bug report to kmod.
