perf doc: Add support for KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP

2023-05-15T20:49:01+00:00

When building man pages from a Git checkout, we consistently set the man page date based on when the input was last changed. Otherwise, it defaults to the build time, which is not reproducible. Allow the date to be set through the KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP variable, as for timestamps in the kernel itself.

perf doc: Define man page date when using asciidoctor

2023-05-15T20:48:46+00:00

When building perf documentation with asciidoc, we use "git log" to find the last commit date of each doc source and pass that to asciidoc to use as the man page date. When using asciidoctor, however, the current date is always used instead. Defining perf_date like we do for asciidoc also doesn't work because we're not using DocBook as an intermediate format. The asciidoctor man page backend looks for the variable "docdate", so set that instead.

perf tools: Don't include signature in version strings

2023-01-02T15:34:06+00:00

This explodes the build if HEAD is signed, since the generated version is gpg: Signature made Mon 26 Dec 2022 20:34:48 CET, then a few more lines, then the SHA.

perf doc: Reorganize ARTICLES variables.

Place early, as they are in the git Makefile. Remove references to a 'technical` directory that doesn't exist in perf.

perf doc: Remove references to user-manual

2021-08-02T12:56:18+00:00

Perf doesn't have a user-manual.txt, but git does and this explains why there are references here. Having these references breaks 'make info' as user-manual.info can't be created given the missing dependency. Remove all references to user-manual so that 'make info' can succeed.

perf doc: Fix perfman.info build

2021-08-02T12:56:17+00:00

Before this change 'make perfman.info' fails as cat-texi.perl is missing. It also fails as the makeinfo output isn't written into the appropriate file. Add cat-texi.perl from git. Add missing output file flag for makeinfo.
