perf build: Fix traceevent plugins build race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 67befc6 upstream.

Ingo reported following build failure:

  $ make clean install
  ...
    CC       plugin_kmem.o
  fixdep: error opening depfile: ./.plugin_hrtimer.o.d: No such file or directory
  /home/mingo/tip/tools/build/Makefile.build:77: recipe for target
  'plugin_hrtimer.o' failed
  make[3]: *** [plugin_hrtimer.o] Error 2
  Makefile:189: recipe for target 'plugin_hrtimer-in.o' failed
  make[2]: *** [plugin_hrtimer-in.o] Error 2
  Makefile.perf:414: recipe for target 'libtraceevent_plugins' failed
  make[1]: *** [libtraceevent_plugins] Error 2
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Currently we have the install-traceevent-plugins target being dependent
on $(LIBTRACEEVENT), which will actualy not build any plugin. So the
install-traceevent-plugins target itself will try to build plugins,
but..

Plugins built is also triggered by perf build itself via
libtraceevent_plugins target.

This might cause a race having one make thread removing temp files from
another and result in above error. Fixing this by having proper plugins
build dependency before installing plugins.
