Kernel build system defines KBUILD_MODNAME automatically from each Makefile.
You can easily find below string from build command of each files of modules.

-D"KBUILD_MODNAME=KBUILD_STR(xxxxx)"
('xxxxx' is given module name)

This name xxxxx comes from Makefile.
Below is simple example.

[ in Makefile ]
xxxxx-y := a.o b.o c.o d.o

In above case, KBUILD_MODNAME of a.cb.cc.c and d.c becomes xxxxx.
This can be easily confirmed by checking command line of each objects - a.ob.oc.o and d.o.
