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:

Very nice stuff.  Do you want to take the individual patches through one
of your trees, or do you mind if the subsystem maintainers take them
through theirs?

I'm happy for this to go through a single tree.

Me too.

With respect to the patches I was c/c (patches 13, 14, 31):

Me too.

Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

on the patches I was copied on.

thanks,
