[Kernel] module & parameter initialization.

Linux kernel uses lot's of sections to modularize it's code structure easily.
In case of kernel module and parameter, following section is used.

[ Module ]
macro   : module_init()
section : device_initcall (section name : .initcall6.init) <see init.h>

[ Parameter ]
macro   : module_param_named(), module_param(), core_param() etc.
section : __param <see moduleparam.h>

core_param() macro works like other module parameter. But this is NOT for module BUT for kernel booting parameter.
Kernel parameter doesn't have any prefix unlike other modules.
Module parameter's name has <module name> as it's prefix.
For example, parameter <param> of module <module> has name <module>.<param>
See source code for details.

KBUILD_MODNAME is preprocessor value for module name.
This is defined through complex script processing. See Makefile.lib, Makefile.mod* in scripts/.
But in most case, you can know it by intuition. That is,  name that seems like module name, is set as KBUILD_MODNAME.
(ex. <mod name>-y, <mod-name>-m in Makefile)
So, usually, deep analysis about above scripts are not required.

Note:
It's possible that one object gets potentially linked into more than one module.
In that case KBUILD_MODNAME will be set to  foo_bar, where foo and bar are the name of the modules.

Module and parameter initialization.

[ Built-in module ]
module initialization : do_initcalls() <see 'main.c'> => initcall section is used
parameter sysfs node  : param_sysfs_init() -> param_sysfs_builtin() => __param section is used

[ Dynamic module ]
module & parameter initialization is done at system call
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(init_module, ...) => load_module()

Each parameter has permission mask. So, parameter value can be read or written at runtime through sysfs node.

/sys/module/<module name>/parameter/<parameter name>

But module parameter whose  permission is 0, is ignored at sysfs (Not shown at sysfs).
( See module_param_sysfs_setup(...) function. )
