One reason the kernel does not build reproducibly is that it includes a timestamp in the version string. SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH provides a standard method to address this: it should be set to the last modification time of the source, and build processes use the specified timestamp instead of the "current" date and time. This change uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it is set; how it gets set needs to be addressed elsewhere. Reviewed by: bapt MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation
