John Garry d4ff926592 perf tools: Stop depending on .git files for building PERF-VERSION-FILE 
This essentially reverts commit c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build:
Speed up git-version test on re-make") and commit 4e666cdb06
("perf tools: Fix dependency for version file creation")

In commit c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version test
on re-make"), a makefile dependency on .git/HEAD was added. The
background is that running PERF-VERSION-FILE is relatively slow, and
commands like "git describe" are particularly slow.

In commit 4e666cdb06 ("perf tools: Fix dependency for version file
creation"), an additional dependency on .git/ORIG_HEAD was added, as
.git/HEAD may not change for "git reset --hard HEAD^" command. However,
depending on whether we're on a branch or not, a "git cherry-pick" may
not lead to the version being updated.

As discussed with the git community in [0], using git internal files for
dependencies is not reliable. Commit 4e666cdb06 also breaks some build
scenarios [1].

As mentioned, c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version
test on re-make") was added to speed up the build. However in commit
7572733b84 ("perf tools: Fix version kernel tag") we removed the
call to "git describe", so just revert Makefile.perf back to same as pre
c72e3f04b4 ("tools/perf/build: Speed up git-version test on
re-make") and the build should not be so slow, as below:

Pre 7572733b84:

  $> time util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
    PERF_VERSION = 5.17.rc8.g4e666cdb06ee

  real    0m0.110s
  user    0m0.091s
  sys     0m0.019s

Post 7572733b84:

  $> time util/PERF-VERSION-GEN
    PERF_VERSION = 5.17.rc8.g7572733b8499

  real    0m0.039s
  user    0m0.036s

Committer testing:

After a fresh rebuild using 'make -C tools/perf O=/tmp/build/perf install-bin':

  $ perf -v
  perf version 5.17.g162f9db407b6
  $ git log --oneline -1
  162f9db407b6a6e5 (HEAD -> perf/core) perf tools: Stop depending on .git files for building PERF-VERSION-FILE
  $

Now using a detached tarball, i.e. outside the kernel source tree:

  $ ls -la perf*tar
  ls: cannot access 'perf*tar': No such file or directory
  $ make perf-tar-src-pkg
    TAR
    PERF_VERSION = 5.17.g31d10b3ef133
  $ ls -la perf*tar
  -rw-r--r--. 1 acme acme 22241280 Mar 30 13:26 perf-5.17.0.tar
  $ mv perf-5.17.0.tar /tmp
  $ cd /tmp
  $ tar xf perf-5.17.0.tar
  $ cd perf-5.17.0/
  $ make -C tools/perf |& tail

  make: Leaving directory '/tmp/perf-5.17.0/tools/perf'
  $ tools/perf/perf -v
  perf version 5.17.g31d10b3ef133
  $ pwd
  /tmp/perf-5.17.0
  $ cat PERF-VERSION-FILE
  #define PERF_VERSION "5.17.g31d10b3ef133"
  $

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
