I'm no expert, but as an interested amateur I thought the Linux kernel could already be built reproducibly? There is some documentation at least... and I know several Linux distributions have been working on reproducible builds for a long time now - I'd be surprised if there hasn't been good progress on this. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/reproducible-builds.html https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/kbuild/reproducible-b...

In container context I've heard a definition of "100% reproducible" that means even file timestamps are 100% the same. Like your entire build is bit-by-bit precisely the same if you didn't modify any source. Not sure if that's what they mean here.
