* perf tools: Do not include PERF-VERSION-FILE to MakefileNamhyung Kim2013-01-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When make runs it tries to update the Makefile rules by reading all of included Makefiles. During the perf build it checks PERF-VERSION-FILE to get the current version number. But it triggers Makefile update so that make runs again with the update Makefile and, in turn, users will see duplicate CHK message on the second path. Running make with -d option for debugging tells me this: GNU Make 3.82 Built for x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Actually PERF-VERSION-FILE is used only for perf.c to #define PERF_VERSION macro. So make it like a C header file and include it during compiling the perf.c file will remove the need of being included into Makefile. Hench no need to update the Makefile and no CHK lines anymore.

* perf tools: Handle --version string generation on machines without gitArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2012-10-311-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If git is installed we'll have a 'perf --version' output of this form: $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.rc3.g3afad6 Now on a machine without git installed: $ mv /home/acme/bin/git /home/acme/bin/git.OFF $ make -j8 -C tools/perf/ O=/home/acme/git/build/perf install $ perf --version perf version 3.7.0-rc2 That is, no error message due to git not being installed will appear on the screen and instead the version string in the top level Makefile will be used.

* perf tools: Further speed up the perf buildIngo Molnar2012-10-311-9/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's another source of overhead in the perf version string generator: git update-index -q --refresh ... which will iterate the whole checked out tree. This can be pretty slow on NFS volumes, but takes some time even with local SSD disks and a fully cached kernel tree: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.306999221 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.56% ) So remove the .dirty differentiator as well - it adds little information because locally patched git trees are common, but seldom are the perf tools modified. So a lot of version strings are reported as 'dirty' while in fact they are pristine perf builds. For example 99% of my perf builds are not patched but the kernel tree is slightly patched, which adds the .dirty tag. Eliminating that tag speeds up version generation by another order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g4b0bd3 Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.021270923 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.94% ) (Also clean up some of the comments around this code.)

* perf tools: Speed up the perf build time by simplifying the perf --version ↵Ingo Molnar2012-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | string generation Building perf is pretty slow on trees that have a lot of commits relative to the nearest Git tag. This slowness manifests itself during version string generation: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.1458.g5399b3b Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 2.857503976 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) The build can be even slower than that, when one over NFS volumes. The reason for the slowness is that util/PERF-VERSION-GEN uses "git describe" to generate the string, which has to count the "number of commits distance" from the nearest tag - the ".1458." count in the output above. For that Git had to extract and decompress 1458 Git objects, which takes time and bandwidth. But this "number of commits" value is mostly irrelevant in practice. We either want to know an approximate tag name, or we want to know the precise sha1. So this patch simplifies the version string to: PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty which speeds up the version string generation script by an order of magnitude: $ perf stat --null --repeat 3 --sync --pre "rm -f PERF-VERSION-FILE" util/PERF-VERSION-GEN PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty PERF_VERSION = 3.7.rc3.g5399b3b.dirty Performance counter stats for 'util/PERF-VERSION-GEN' (3 runs): 0.307633559 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.84% ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@amd64.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121030084600.GB8245@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* perf tools: Version incorrect with some versions of grepJosh Hunt2011-03-161-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'. Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep versions, gives a usable version number.
