From cdf6d00696865ae1c46750059fd7d248323712f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2019 16:27:37 -0800 Subject: dynamic_debug: don't duplicate modname in ddebug_add_module For built-in modules, we're already reusing the passed-in string via kstrdup_const(). But for actual modules (i.e. when we're called from dynamic_debug_setup in module.c), the passed-in string (which points at the name[] array inside struct module) is also guaranteed to live at least as long as the struct ddebug_table, since free_module() calls ddebug_remove_module().
