Now that we store the passed-in string directly in ddebug_add_module, we can use pointer equality instead of strcmp. This is a little more efficient, but more importantly, this also makes the code somewhat more correct: Currently, if one loads and then unloads a module whose name happens to match the KBUILD_MODNAME of some built-in functionality (which need not even be modular at all), all of their dynamic debug entries vanish along with those of the actual module. For example, loading and unloading a core.ko hides all pr_debugs from drivers/base/core.c and other built-in files called core.c (incidentally, there is an in-tree module whose name is core, but I just tested this with an out-of-tree trivial one).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
