perf tools: Further speed up the perf build
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.)
