Re: [PATCH 0/6] perf tools: Improve 'make build-test'

[Wangnan (F)]

Hi Jiri,

I think if we can fold the feature checking in build-test then
it can be even faster. We need only 2 feature check result (for
normal building and static building), but in a full build-test
we run 138 rounds feature checking. Would you please give some
help on it?

Now I have a 160 cores server for building perf, currently busy
time and idle time are 5:3 (result from top. I use 1s interval.
Each test case takes about 8s,  in about 5 seconds I can see
full of 'cc1' in perf top result). A full test-build still require
more than 0.3 hours (8s * 34 cases * 2 (with and without O) *
2 (Makefile and Makefile.perf) = 1088 seconds).

Thank you.
