From: Ihor Solodrai Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2024 17:46:23 +0000 (+0000) Subject: selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily X-Git-Tag: dma-mapping-6.12-2024-09-24~3^2~19^2 X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6.11.0-rc4-syzkaller-00238-g2ad6d23f465a;p=users%2Fhch%2Fdma-mapping.git selftests/bpf: Do not update vmlinux.h unnecessarily %.bpf.o objects depend on vmlinux.h, which makes them transitively dependent on unnecessary libbpf headers. However vmlinux.h doesn't actually change as often. When generating vmlinux.h, compare it to a previous version and update it only if there are changes. Example of build time improvement (after first clean build): $ touch ../../../lib/bpf/bpf.h $ time make -j8 Before: real 1m37.592s After: real 0m27.310s Notice that %.bpf.o gen step is skipped if vmlinux.h hasn't changed.
