After this patch:

$ make mrproper

  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep

Possible targets:

  acpi       - ACPI tools
  cgroup     - cgroup tools
  cpupower   - a tool for all things x86 CPU power
<SNIP>
  vm         - misc vm tools
  x86_energy_perf_policy - Intel energy policy tool
  tmon       - thermal monitoring and tuning tool

You can do:
 $ make -C tools/ <tool>_install

  from the kernel command line to build and install one of
  the tools above

  $ make tools/install

  installs all tools.

Cleaning targets:

  all of the above with the "_clean" string appended cleans
    the respective build directory.

--------------------------------------------------------

Better than before, but can't we avoid these two lines:

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
scripts/Makefile.kasan:16: Cannot use CONFIG_KASAN: -fsanitize=kernel-address is not supported by compiler

--------------------------------------------------------

And the need for a .config file to be present in the build dir?

Also for this case it didn't improve the situation, I think:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make -C tools/perf clean
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  CLEAN    libtraceevent
<SNIP>
  CLEAN    Documentation
  CLEAN    python
make: Leaving directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make tools/perf/
scripts/Makefile.kasan:16: Cannot use CONFIG_KASAN: -fsanitize=kernel-address is not supported by compiler
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `perf/'.
[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make -C tools/perf/
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
  BUILD:   Doing 'make -j8' parallel build

-------------------------------------------------------

And this I think is related to Jiri's recent move of the feature detection from
tools/perf/ to tools/build/, when we remove that trailing slash:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make tools/perf
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
scripts/Makefile.kasan:16: Cannot use CONFIG_KASAN: -fsanitize=kernel-address is not supported by compiler
  DESCEND  lib/api

make[1]: *** [libapikfs] Error 2
make: *** [tools/perf] Error 2

-------------------------------------------------------

Jiri, can you take a look at the above?

It works if I use 'make -C', with O=, like I usually do, or without it:

-------------------------------------------------------

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ make -C tools/perf
make: Entering directory `/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
