KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is not a switch for "please enable the reproducible build". KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP requires the build code to use the given time in the output where timestamps are used. Your patch does not use the timestamp at all. If --btf_features=reproducible_build has no downside, please add it whenever supported. > --- > scripts/Makefile.btf | 4 ++++ > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.btf b/scripts/Makefile.btf > index b75f09f3f424..40bb72662967 100644 > --- a/scripts/Makefile.btf > +++ b/scripts/Makefile.btf > @@ -21,6 +21,10 @@ else > # Switch to using --btf_features for v1.26 and later. > pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 126) = -j --btf_features=encode_force,var,float,enum64,decl_tag,type_tag,optimized_func,consistent_func,decl_tag_kfuncs > > +ifneq ($(KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP),) > +pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 126) += --btf_features=reproducible_build > +endif > + > ifneq ($(KBUILD_EXTMOD),) > module-pahole-flags-$(call test-ge, $(pahole-ver), 126) += --btf_features=distilled_base > endif > -- > 2.31.1 >

It makes the build slightly slower (from [1], 3.858 -> 3.991 (+3%) on my crippled machine for the vmlinux BTF phase -- the modules also get similar treatment, I'm not sure how big the total time exactly is -- for large kernels with tons of modules it definitely adds up but for small kernels it's probably "short enough") [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240626032253.3406460-1-asmadeus@codewreck.org I don't particularly mind either way, so this is mostly out of curiosity: do we have any other setting that would be closer better than this KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to say "make this reproducible", or is the kernel build supposed to be reproducible except for the date by default? Thank you,

It is used as a signal to pahole to enable reproducibility in parallel build. There is a cost to this so it's not advisable in all scenarios [1]. Is there a kbuild-approved way to determine if reproducible builds are in operation?

Reproducible builds [1] require that the same source code with the same set of tools can build identical objects each time, but pahole in parallel mode was non-deterministic in BTF generation prior to dba7b5e ("pahole: Encode BTF serially in a reproducible build") This was a problem since said BTF is baked into kernels and modules in .BTF sections, so parallel pahole was causing non-reproducible binary generation. Now with the above commit we have support for parallel reproducible BTF generation in pahole. KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set for reproducible builds, so if it is set, add reproducible_build to --btf_features.
