[PATCH v2 2/3] randstruct: Force full rebuild when seed changes

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri May 02 2025 - 18:54:38 EST


While the randstruct GCC plugin was being rebuilt if the randstruct
seed changed, Clangs build did not notice the change. Include the hash
header directly so that it becomes a universal build dependency and full
rebuilds will happen if it changes.

Since we cannot use "-include ..." as the randstruct flags are removed
via "filter-out" (which would cause all instances of "-include" to be
removed), use the existing -DRANDSTRUCT to control the header inclusion
via include/linux/compiler-version.h. Universally add a -I for the
scripts/basic directory, where header exists. The UM build requires that
the -I be explicitly added.
