lib: rename TEST_MODULE to TEST_LKM
The "_MODULE" suffix is reserved for tristates compiled as loadable kernel
modules (LKM). The "TEST_MODULE" feature thereby violates this
convention. The feature is used to compile the lib/test_module.c kernel
module.
Sadly this convention is not made explicit, but the Kconfig code documents
it. The following code (./scripts/kconfig/confdata.c) is used to generate
the autoconf.h header file during the build process. When a feature is
selected as a kernel module ('m'), it is suffixed with "_MODULE" to
indicate it.
switch (*value) {
case 'n':
break;
case 'm':
suffix = "_MODULE";
/* fall through */
This causes problems for static code analysis, which assumes a consistent
use of the "_MODULE" suffix.
This patch renames the feature and its reference in a Makefile to
"TEST_LKM", which still expresses the test of a LKM.
