modpost: simplify mod->name allocation
mod->name is set to the ELF filename with the suffix ".o" stripped. The current code calls strdup() and free() to manipulate the string, but a simpler approach is to pass new_module() with the name length subtracted by 2. Also, check if the passed filename ends with ".o" before stripping it. The current code blindly chops the suffix: tmp[strlen(tmp) - 2] = '\0' It will cause buffer under-run if strlen(tmp) < 2; Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com>
