I investigate the given problem and found that the problem is in incorrectly formed cmdstream. So cmdstream contains two source code files both with module_init function that of course leads to linking problem. The full list of linked objects are so (marked those of them which contains module_init):

/drivers/isdn/capi/capidrv.o.general
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_v110.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi_proc.o.usual
/drivers/base/power/main.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_tty.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_common.o.usual (*)
/drivers/isdn/capi/capiutil.o.usual
/drivers/base/power/sysfs.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_audio.o.usual
/drivers/base/class.o.usual
/drivers/base/dd.o.usual
/drivers/base/power/wakeup.o.usual
/drivers/base/core.o.usual
/drivers/tty/tty_io.o.usual
/drivers/base/bus.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.o.usual
/drivers/base/devres.o.usual
/drivers/isdn/capi/kcapi.o.usual (*)
-o /capidrv.ko.linked (here files are linked to)

I attached corresponding bitcode files and their source code files. If you will try simply something like this (LLVM linker can be found in the directory rule-instrumentor/aspectator/bin of installed ldv-tools):

llvm-2.6-bin/bin/llvm-ld isdn_common.o.usual kcapi.o.usual

you will gain the same problem as described:

llvm-ld: error: Cannot link file 'kcapi.o.usual': Alias Collision on 'init_module': aliases have different aliasees

I believe that the problem comes from ldv-git that forms cmdstream incorrectly for this case (especially since the problem came when Alexey updated the ldv-git after 2 months out-of-date state).

More details (but not all... there is no cmdstream file for example) can be found in the attached by Alexey file.

module_init function is something like this:

module_init(cmodio_init);

static inline initcall_t __inittest(void) { return cmodio_init; } int init_module(void) __attribute__((alias("cmodio_init")));

I suggest that we really can remove it from code by means of small simple aspect extension and in fact it's the problem of llvm-ld.

I try to reproduce the given bug on pure linux-2.6.37.y (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.37.y.git) without any cached and stored previously data and has neither the given problem nor #718. All works good. Now I'll try to obtain the list of linked drivers as the above one.

This list consists of just one object file:

Please, attach your metadata files for the commits you check. I'll check if there's any difference

Joker's metadata contain no dependency data at all! Perhaps, the reason is in format of GCC debug dump, see #789.

Just see on file sizes. They are really too different!

Yeah, and your dump now contains the function calls. You may continue with fixing alias collision, and I'll merge the fix into master tomorrow.

Even with correct metadata I still has no problem as I've already described above.
May be different commit history causes this effect.

The given addition to all aspect models:

around: define(module_init(initfn))
{}
around: define(module_exit(exitfn))
{}

should fix the problem with alias collisions.
It's tested now.

I don't see anything in the master branch... Is it tested, or is it being tested?

Now it's tested by Alexey since he has appropriate environment and often encounters the problem. If he'll see that the problem is fixed and new problems related with the fix don't arise on 08_1 model and on other aspect models then this will be pushed to the master.

Also we've keep in mind that after aspectator migration from LLVM platform these model fixes possibly should be canceled.

Eugene, please! The correct usage is "the fix is being tested", to stress that it's both passive voice and the action that is taking place right now.

Also we've keep in mind that after aspectator migration from LLVM platform these model fixes possibly should be canceled.

Could you please create a new bug "migrate from LLVM to bare GCC" and mark this bug as related to that one? Just to collect such issues in one place...
