Even on Linus's tree it takes 0.28 seconds on a fast box to count all the commits and get the git version string: $ time util/PERF-VERSION-GEN real 0m0.279s user 0m0.247s sys 0m0.025s But the version string only has to be regenerated if the git repository's head commit changes. So add a dependency of ../../.git/HEAD and touch the file every time it's regenerated, so that Make's build rules can pick it up and cache the result: make: `PERF-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. real 0m0.184s user 0m0.117s sys 0m0.026s So the version generation overhead is completely gone for re-builds.
