• [$] Hash-based module integrity for reproducible distributions

    From LWN.net@618:250/24 to All on Thu Oct 22 06:40:09 2026
    We last looked in on hash-based integrity
    checking for kernel modules just over a year and half ago. Since that time, the patch
    set has undergone multiple revisions. At the 2026 Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), Thomas Weißschuh described the need for kernel-module integrity guarantees while still providing reproducible builds, how his patches implement that, and some ideas for possible
    further work.
