[PATCH 2/2] initramfs: Encode dependency on KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP

[Benjamin Gray]

gen_initramfs.sh has an internal dependency on KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
for generating file mtimes that is not exposed to make, so changing
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP will not trigger a rebuild of the archive.

Declare the mtime date as a new parameter to gen_initramfs.sh to encode
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP in the shell command, thereby making make aware
of the dependency.

It will rebuild if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP changes or is newly set/unset.
It will _not_ rebuild if KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is unset before and
after. This should be fine for anyone who doesn't care about setting
specific build times in the first place.

Ran into this while debugging the issue in the first patch. Made for a
very perplexing debug session before we worked out the state wasn't
being rebuilt.
