[ Upstream commit be40920fbf1003c38ccdc02b571e01a75d890c82 ]

When I tried to compile tools/perf from the top directory with the -C
option, the O= option didn't work correctly if I passed a relative path:

  $ make O=BUILD -C tools/perf/
  make: Entering directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build
  ../scripts/Makefile.include:4: *** O=/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/BUILD does not exist.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:70: all] Error 2
  make: Leaving directory '/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf'

The O= directory existence check failed because the check script ran in
the build target directory instead of the directory where I ran the make
command.

To fix that, once change directory to $(PWD) and check O= directory,
since the PWD is set to where the make command runs.

<title>perf tools: Disable parallelism for 'make clean'</title>

[ Upstream commit da15fc2fa9c07b23db8f5e479bd8a9f0d741ca07 ]

The Yocto build system does a 'make clean' when rebuilding due to
changed dependencies, and that consistently fails for me (causing the
whole BSP build to fail) with errors such as

| find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory
| find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/plugin_mac80211.so': No such file or directory
| find: find: '[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/libtraceevent.a''[...]/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/libtraceevent.a': No such file or directory: No such file or directory
|
[...]
| find: cannot delete '/mnt/xfs/devel/pil/yocto/tmp-glibc/work/wandboard-oe-linux-gnueabi/perf/1.0-r9/perf-1.0/util/.pstack.o.cmd': No such file or directory

Apparently (despite the comment), 'make clean' ends up launching
multiple sub-makes that all want to remove the same things - perhaps
this only happens in combination with a O=... parameter. In any case, we
don't lose much by explicitly disabling the parallelism for the clean
target, and it makes automated builds much more reliable.

Those tests take a long time and sometimes we stop it, so allow randomly
shuffling the tests so that we have a better chance of running more of
them in partial 'make build-test' runs.

Using it just on the 'build-test' target, i.e.:

   make -C tools/perf build-test

Is equivalent to:

   make SHUF=1 -C tools/perf -f tests/make

<title>perf build: Fix single target build dependency check</title>

Currently if we build a single target like:

  $ touch util/map.c &amp;&amp; make util/map.o

It will not rebuild util/map.o if it already exists and util/map.c is
modified.

The reason is that the top-level 'Makefile' processes util/map.o as an
implicit rule and if util/map.o exists make considers the 'util/map.o'
target as done and will not nest into Makefile.perf.

Adding FORCE for '%', because that's what we want to nest into
Makefile.perf for any target.

Adding Makefile into phony targets, because make tries to rebuild it and
it's also resolved as '%' target.

Parsing /proc/cpuinfo is a fiddly, arch-dependent business and a recent
change to get it working for Sparc broke arm and arm64 platforms.

Use sysconf to determine the number of online CPUs only parsing
/proc/cpuinfo when sysconf is not available.

If JOBS is not by user perf tries to autodetect the number by grepping
the number of CPUs from /proc/cpuinfo. 'grep -c' will always return an
integer so after this command JOBS should be compared to 0, not "".

Currently various build test can be performed using a Makefile named

command line.

Add the 'build-test' target in the main Makefile as a shortcut.

Once the tags/TAGS file is generated it's never rebuilt until it's
removed by hand.

The reason is that the Makefile does not treat tags/TAGS as targets but
as files and thus won't rebuilt them once they are in place.

Adding PHONY tags/TAGS targets into Makefile.

<title>tools/perf/build: Pass through DEBUG parameter</title>

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore.

The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to
'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf'
checks that it's a command line option:

    ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line")
      PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG)
    endif

So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter
handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances:

 - DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it
   into 'debugging off' instead.

 - Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off
   as well.

 - Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of
   the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.
