2022-05-08randstruct: Move seed generation into scripts/basic/Kees Cook
To enable Clang randstruct support, move the structure layout randomization seed generation out of scripts/gcc-plugins/ into scripts/basic/ so it happens early enough that it can be used by either compiler implementation. The gcc-plugin still builds its own header file, but now does so from the common "randstruct.seed" file.

2022-05-08randstruct: Reorganize Kconfigs and attribute macrosKees Cook
In preparation for Clang supporting randstruct, reorganize the Kconfigs, move the attribute macros, and generalize the feature to be named CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT for on/off, CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL for the full randomization mode, and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_PERFORMANCE for the cache-line sized mode.

2019-10-05kheaders: make headers archive reproducibleDmitry Goldin
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.

2019-09-15Documentation: kbuild: Add document about reproducible buildsBen Hutchings
In the Distribution Kernels track at Linux Plumbers Conference there was some discussion around the difficulty of making kernel builds reproducible. This is a solved problem, but the solutions don't appear to be documented in one place. This document lists the issues I know about and the settings needed to ensure reproducibility.
