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 Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-wvmlrurufuk6mo1ovtNigguT@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- tools/perf/Makefile | 15 +++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile b/tools/perf/Makefile index 64c043b7a438..6b5452a120af 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile @@ -70,8 +70,9 @@ ifneq ($(OUTPUT),) #$(info Determined 'OUTPUT' to be $(OUTPUT)) endif -$(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE: .FORCE-PERF-VERSION-FILE +$(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE: ../../.git/HEAD @$(SHELL_PATH) util/PERF-VERSION-GEN $(OUTPUT) + @touch $(OUTPUT)PERF-VERSION-FILE CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc AR = $(CROSS_COMPILE)ar @@ -814,6 +815,16 @@ clean: $(LIBTRACEEVENT)-clean $(LIBLK)-clean $(RM) $(OUTPUT)util/*-flex* $(python-clean) +# +# Trick: if ../../.git does not exist - we are building out of tree for example, +# then force version regeneration: +# +ifeq ($(wildcard ../../.git/HEAD),) + GIT-HEAD-PHONY = ../../.git/HEAD +else + GIT-HEAD-PHONY = +endif + .PHONY: all install clean strip $(LIBTRACEEVENT) $(LIBLK) .PHONY: shell_compatibility_test please_set_SHELL_PATH_to_a_more_modern_shell -.PHONY: .FORCE-PERF-VERSION-FILE TAGS tags cscope .FORCE-PERF-CFLAGS +.PHONY: $(GIT-HEAD-PHONY) TAGS tags cscope .FORCE-PERF-CFLAGS -- 1.8.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
