[PATCH v4 03/13] buildid: Stash away kernels build ID on init

From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Fri Apr 09 2021 - 21:53:12 EST


Parse the kernel's build ID at initialization so that other code can
print a hex format string representation of the running kernel's build
ID. This will be used in the kdump and dump_stack code so that
developers can easily locate the vmlinux debug symbols for a
crash/stacktrace.
