Kees Cook be2b34fa9b randstruct: Move seed generation into scripts/basic/
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.

Kees Cook 595b893e20 randstruct: Reorganize Kconfigs and attribute macros
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.

Dmitry Goldin 86cdd2fdc4 kheaders: make headers archive reproducible
In commit 43d8ce9d65 ("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 f7b101d330 ("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.

Ben Hutchings fe013f8bc1 Documentation: kbuild: Add document about reproducible builds
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.
