The files generated by gen_header.py capture the source path to the input files and the date. While that can be informative, it varies based on where and when the kernel was built as the full path is captured.
Since all of the files that this tool is run on is under the drivers directory, this modifies the application to strip all of the path before drivers. Additionally it prints <stripped> instead of the date.

While this information can be useful, it inadvertently exposes build system configuration details in the binaries. This hinders binary reproducibility, as the output will vary if the build environment changes. --- drivers/gpu/drm/msm/registers/gen_header.py | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/registers/gen_header.py b/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/registers/gen_header.py index 3926485bb197b0992232447cb71bf1c1ebd0968c..a409404627c7180d5b0626f0ce6255d7d0df5113 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/registers/gen_header.py +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/msm/registers/gen_header.py @@ -11,6 +11,7 @@ import collections import argparse import time import datetime +import re class Error(Exception): def __init__(self, message): @@ -877,13 +878,14 @@ The rules-ng-ng source files this header was generated from are: """) maxlen = 0 for filepath in p.xml_files: - maxlen = max(maxlen, len(filepath)) + new_filepath = re.sub("^.+drivers","drivers",filepath) + maxlen = max(maxlen, len(new_filepath)) for filepath in p.xml_files: - pad = " " * (maxlen - len(filepath)) + pad = " " * (maxlen - len(new_filepath)) filesize = str(os.path.getsize(filepath)) filesize = " " * (7 - len(filesize)) + filesize filetime = time.ctime(os.path.getmtime(filepath)) - print("- " + filepath + pad + " (" + filesize + " bytes, from " + filetime + ")") + print("- " + new_filepath + pad + " (" + filesize + " bytes, from <stripped>)") if p.copyright_year: current_year = str(datetime.date.today().year) print() --- base-commit: fc5c669c902c3039aa41731b6c58c0960d0b1bbf change-id: 20250523-binrep-f8c81fa0d31d Best regards, -- Viswanath Kraleti <viswanath.kral...@oss.qualcomm.com>
