This patch adds the /sys/kernel/notes magic file. Reading this delivers the contents of the kernel's .notes section. This lets userland easily glean any detailed information about the running kernel's build that was stored there at compile time.
Is .notes an allocated section? I didn't think it necessarily appeared in any of the PT_LOAD segments, because the linux/elfnote.h macros don't necessarily set "a" on the section.
I have a patch to always do this, and also convert all the note generation to C code rather than asm. If your patch works for you, however, it should be completely orthogonal.
