From 7822a8913f4c51c7d1aff793b525d60c3384fb5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim namhyung@kernel.org Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 19:24:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf build: Update build rule for generated files
The bison and flex generate C files from the source (.y and .l) files. When O= option is used, they are saved in a separate directory but the default build rule assumes the .C files are in the source directory. So it might read invalid file if there are generated files from an old version. The same is true for the pmu-events files.
For example, the following command would cause a build failure:
$ git checkout v6.3 $ make -C tools/perf # build in the same directory
$ git checkout v6.5-rc2 $ mkdir build # create a build directory $ make -C tools/perf O=build # build in a different directory but it # refers files in the source directory
Let's update the build rule to specify those cases explicitly to depend on the files in the output directory.
Note that it's not a complete fix and it needs the next patch for the include path too.
