[PATCH 2/2] kbuild: add shell cache

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Running make results in over 40 invocations of the compiler just during
processing of the Makefile, before any actual rules are run.

To reduce this overhead, cache the results of $(shell) calls to the
compiler.

On my machine, this reduces make's processing time by over 96%:

$ make kernelversion && perf stat -r5 make kernelversion
Before: 0,252219929 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0,39% )
 After: 0,008607464 seconds time elapsed ( +-  0,50% )
