Public bug reported:
"uname" does not report the year that the Linux kernel was built. For example:
=====
$ /usr/bin/uname -a
Linux user@host 6.17.0-23-generic #23~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue
Apr 14 16:11:48 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
=====
The year "2026" is missing. Probably the last 3 digits of the date were
truncated:
Tue Apr 14 16:11:48 UTC 2 x86_64 x86
instead of
Tue Apr 14 16:11:48 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86
