Hi,

In my own built kernel, its version string (via uname -a) has a magic
number: 'Linux MyProd 3.x.x-LOCALVERSION-9b5c9ab2-dirty'

I want to understand, where the '9b5c9ab2-dirty' comes from and how can
I change it? Thanks.

This is SCM version and in your case generated by 'git describe' command.

See scripts/setlocalversion where this function is generated.
