The build id generated from --build-id can be generated in several different
ways, with the default being the sha1 on the output of the linked file. For
distributions, it can be useful to make sure this ID is unique, even if the
actual file contents don't change. The easiest way to do this is to insert
a section with some data.
Introduce a macro to insert a linker section which will be filled
with a hex value. This will ensure the build id can be changed just via
a config option. Users who don't care about this can leave the
default value and strip the section.

What is 0xffaa5500 ?
Is it another salt in addition to CONFIG_BUILD_ID_SALT ?
Or, does it have a special meaning?

If you run "make menuconfig",
you will notice this looks so strange;
"Build ID Salt" is displayed in the top level menu.

You are pulling many macros in <asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h>
into modules, VDSO, etc.
You also need to touch
arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
of all architectures.
This is not so nice.

I was playing with a different approach.
Instead of touching linker scripts around,
how about putting the salt into an elfnote?
The compiler puts the build ID
into the '.note.gnu.build-id' section.
So, I guess it is sensible to put
the salt into '.note.*' section as well.
I attached my trial below:
- I moved 'config BUILD_SALT' to a better location
so that it will be displayed in the "General setup" menu.
- I added 'range 0 0xffffffff' to avoid warnings.
- I renamed the config symbol to CONFIG_BUILD_SALT
and change the default to 0x0.
Of course, this is just bike-shed things, though..
- It looks like 'owner=Linux, type_id=0'
is already used in VDSO.
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.17/arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.S#L26
I chose 0x100 for the type id, but it could be a different value
I like this approach. It covers what was suggested without having
to add extra infrastructure. With this approach, we could go
back to the original suggestion of making the salt a string which
is easier to work with from a distro perspective (can just use the
unique version string for each package vs. having to calculate a hash)
Thanks,
Laura
