A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) describes the individual components of a software product. For the kernel, the goal is to describe the distributable build outputs (typically the kernel image and modules), the source files involved in producing these outputs, and the build process that connects the source and output files. To achieve this, the sbom script generates three SPDX documents: - sbom-output.spdx.json Describes the final build outputs together with high-level build metadata. - sbom-source.spdx.json Describes all source files involved in the build, including licensing information and additional file metadata. - sbom-build.spdx.json Describes the entire build process, linking source files from the source SBOM to output files in the output SBOM. The sbom script is optional. It can be invoked via the `make sbom` target= . This target depends on `all` and triggers a standard kernel build. Once a= ll output artifacts have been generated, starting from the kernel image and modules as root nodes, the script reconstructs the dependency graph up to the original source files. Build dependencies are primarily derived fr= om the `.cmd` files generated by Kbuild, which record the full command used to build each output file. Currently, the script only supports x86 and arm64 architectures. This series was developed with assistance from AI tools, namely Cursor with Claude Sonnet 4.5 and OpenCode with GLM-4.7. The AI was used for documentation, exploring the repository, and iterating on design questions and implementation details such as regex patterns.
