In 5.2 kernel a new mechanism was introduced which embeds the kernel headers in the kernel image and exposes them in procfs for simplified use by userland tools. It was introduced in43d8ce9d65and later modified a bit inf7b101d330The archive containing the header files had nondeterminism through the header files metadata - specifically `mtime`, but I also decided to normalize some other aspects just in case. In our default setup we currently compile this as a module, so to expose the headers to test the functionality `kheaders` needs to be loaded. See https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/4/1036 and https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild.git/commit/?h=fixes&id=2cc99c9cdc8fde5e92e34f9655829449cebd3e00 I commented out the documentation part of the patch to make it cleanly apply to 5.2 and 5.3, see remark in the patch itself.

Subject: kheaders: make headers archive reproducible
|
|
|
|
In commit 43d8ce9d65a5 ("Provide in-kernel headers to make
|
|
extending kernel easier") a new mechanism was introduced, for kernels
|
|
>=5.2, which embeds the kernel headers in the kernel image or a module
|
|
and exposes them in procfs for use by userland tools.
|
|
|
|
The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by
|
|
header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes
|
|
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the
|
|
default behaviour.
|
|
|
|
In commit f7b101d33046 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was
|
|
modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was
|
|
renamed to what is being patched.

I commented out the documentation part here, so that it easily applies
|
|
to linux 5.2 and 5.3, which does not ship with the reproducible build
|
|
documentation yet, which only was introduced recently.
