[PATCH 07/34] kbuild: Allow to override LINUX_COMPILE_BY and LINUX_COMPILE_HOST macros

[Michal Marek]

Make it possible to override the user@host string displayed during boot
and in /proc/version by the environment variables KBUILD_BUILD_USER and
KBUILD_BUILD_HOST. Several distributions patch scripts/mkcompile_h to
achieve this, so let's provide an official way.

+KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
+--------------------------------------------------
+Setting this to a date string overrides the timestamp used in the
+UTS_VERSION definition (uname -v in the running kernel). The default value
+is the output of the date command at one point during build.

+KBUILD_BUILD_USER, KBUILD_BUILD_HOST

+These two variables allow to override the user@host string displayed during
