charset="UTF-8" Currently, the $(LIBPMU_EVENTS_IN) sub-make depends on the massive "prepare" umbrella target. Because "prepare" depends on external libraries (libapi, libperf, etc.) as well as dozens of generated headers, make completely serializes the launch of the pmu-events sub-make behind some of those unrelated prerequisites. Since pmu-events is a large compilation unit, unblock its startup by binding it directly to only $(LIBPERF) instead of prepare. This allows background python generation scripts to overlap simultaneously with the rest of the build. Testing a parallel build (make -j28 clean all) shows improvements: Before: real 0m27.642s user 2m32.356s sys 0m26.683s After: real 0m22.254s user 2m32.810s sys 0m24.646s This reclaims over 5 full seconds of build latency (~19.5% overall reduction) by elevating average CPU concurrency from ~5.5 active cores up to ~8 active cores.
