From a8b8017c34fefcb763d8b06c294b58d1c480b2e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Marek Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 23:16:42 +0200 Subject: initramfs: Use KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP for generated entries gen_init_cpio gets the current time and uses it for each symlink, special file, and directory. Grab the current time once and make it possible to override it with the KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable for reproducible builds.
