    scripts/package: tar-pkg: use tar --owner=root · 91d16185
    Michal Marek authored
    Use the --owner= and --group= options to make sure the entries in
    the built tar file are owned by root.  Without this change, a
    careless sysadmin using the tar-pkg target can easily end up
    installing a kernel that is writable by the unprivileged user
    account used to build the kernel.
    
    Test that these options are understood before using them so that
    non-GNU versions of tar can still be used if the operator is
    appropriately cautious.
