[PATCH 00/34] Make kernel build deterministic

Hi,
this series makes it possible to build bit-identical kernel image and
modules from identical sources. Of course the build is already
deterministic in terms of behavior of the code, but the various
timestamps embedded in the object files make it hard to compare two
builds, for instance to verify that a makefile cleanup didn't
accidentally change something. A prime example is /proc/config.gz, which
has both a timestamp in the gzip header and a timestamp in the payload
data. With this series applied, a script like this will produce
identical kernels each time:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf /dev/shm/{source,build}{,1,2}
export KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP=1
export KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP='Sun May 1 12:00:00 CEST 2011'
export KBUILD_BUILD_USER=user
export KBUILD_BUILD_HOST=host
export ROOT_DEV=FLOPPY
for i in 1 2; do
mkdir /dev/shm/source
# randomize the inode order just for fun
git ls-tree -r -z --name-only HEAD | sort -R -z | xargs -0 \
cp --parents --target=/dev/shm/source
pushd /dev/shm/source
mkdir /dev/shm/build
>/dev/shm/build/all.config
for opt in GCOV_KERNEL UBIFS_FS_DEBUG; do
echo "# CONFIG_$opt is not set" >>"/dev/shm/build"/all.config
done
make O="/dev/shm/build" KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=1 allmodconfig
make O="/dev/shm/build" -j64
popd
mv /dev/shm/source /dev/shm/source$i
mv /dev/shm/build /dev/shm/build$i
done
diff -rq /dev/shm/build{1,2}
Unfortunatelly, this cannot be used to validate indentation-only
patches, even if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is turned off. This is because of the
__FILE__ and __LINE__ macros used in many places. For the same reason,
the source and build directory needs to be the same, otherwise the
results will differ. This was tested on
x86_64/{defconfig,allmodconfig,allyesconfig} and ppc64/defconfig. The
series is also available at
