The git commit hashes for the kernel checkout are not reproducible under certain conditions: - If the git repository is initialized on an archive (rather than a git), the initial git commit not only has the current user name set, it also uses the current system time as committer and author date. This will affect the initial git hash and thus all subsequent ones. - The patches applied by the kern-tools have a valid author and date. However, their committer again depends on the user building the BSP. This is an issue, for example, if one compiles a kernel with CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO enabled where the commit hash lands into the kernel and thus the package version. This not only makes the package version non-reproducible, but also leads to version mismatches between kernel modules built against a fresh kernel checkout and the kernel retrieved from the sstate cache. The class uses 'check_git_config', but this only sets the git user and only if none existed before. Thus it doesn't really help here. Since in Git the committer information can be set only from the environment variables GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, we introduce the helper function 'reproducible_git_committer' here to set those. As values simply use PATCH_GIT_USER_NAME, PATCH_GIT_USER_EMAIL (from patch.bbclass) and SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. Using this helper makes the committer date/name/email for the initial reproducible, as well as the committer name/email for the patches applied with kern-tools. What's still missing is the initial commit's date/name/email which we just set explicitly via command line arguments.
