This patch adds the /sys/kernel/notes magic file. Reading this delivers

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.
