charset="UTF-8" Currently, bpftool and vmlinux.h are prerequisites of the top-level prepare target in Makefile.perf. This unnecessarily blocks the massive parallel C compilation of libraries (perf-util, perf-ui, pmu-events) during the initial startup phase. Move all bpftool and vmlinux.h generation rules down into tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak to encapsulate BPF tooling completely within the skeleton framework. Remove them entirely from prepare to unblock immediate parallel build execution. To prevent parallel sub-makes (perf-util and perf-bench) from racing to build shared prerequisites concurrently, while maintaining strict directory encapsulation without top-level inclusions, serialize bench after the util static archive finishes using an order-only prerequisite: $(LIBPERF_BENCH_IN): FORCE prepare | $(LIBPERF_UTIL) Assisted-by: Gemini:gemini-3.1-pro-preview Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers --- tools/perf/Makefile.config | 2 +- tools/perf/Makefile.perf | 61 +++++--------------------------------- tools/perf/bpf_skel.mak | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile.config b/tools/perf/Makefile.config index 06d7a3f9990c..bc1111c88226 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile.config +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile.config @@ -736,7 +736,7 @@ ifeq ($(BUILD_BPF_SKEL),1) endif ifndef GEN_VMLINUX_H - VMLINUX_H=$(src-perf)/util/bpf_skel/vmlinux/vmlinux.h + VMLINUX_H_FILE=$(src-perf)/util/bpf_skel/vmlinux/vmlinux.h endif dwarf-post-unwind := 1 diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf index d4fc10f36781..ec0e91bedce1 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile.perf +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile.perf @@ -274,7 +274,7 @@ ifeq ($(PYLINT),1) PYLINT := $(shell which pylint 2> /dev/null) endif -export srctree OUTPUT RM CC CXX RUSTC CLANG LD AR CFLAGS CXXFLAGS RUST_FLAGS V BISON FLEX AWK LIBBPF +export srctree OUTPUT RM CC CXX RUSTC CLANG LD AR CFLAGS CXXFLAGS RUST_FLAGS V BISON FLEX AWK LIBBPF READELF export HOSTCC HOSTLD HOSTAR HOSTCFLAGS SHELLCHECK MYPY PYLINT include $(srctree)/tools/build/Makefile.include @@ -324,7 +324,7 @@ else FEATURE_DUMP_EXPORT := $(realpath $(FEATURES_DUMP)) endif -export prefix bindir sharedir sysconfdir DESTDIR +export prefix bindir sharedir sysconfdir DESTDIR VMLINUX_H_FILE # sparse is architecture-neutral, which means that we need to tell it # explicitly what architecture to check for.
