perf tools: Fix empty version number when building outside of a git repo
When perf is built in a full source tree that is not a git repository, e.g. from a kernel source tarball, `perf version` will print empty tag and commit strings: $ perf version perf version Currently the tag version is only generated from the root Makefile when building in a git repository. If PERF-VERSION-FILE has not been generated and the source tree is not in a git repository, then PERF-VERSION-GEN will return an empty version. The problem can be reproduced with the following steps: $ wget https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/t/linux-6.0-rc7.tar.gz $ tar -xf linux-6.0-rc7.tar.gz && cd linux-6.0-rc7 $ make -C tools/perf $ tools/perf/perf -v perf version Builds from tarballs generated with `make perf-tar-src-pkg` are not impacted by this issue as PERF-VERSION-FILE is included in the archive. The perf RPM provided by Fedora for 5.18+ is experiencing this problem. Package build logs[0] show that the build is attempting to fall back on PERF-VERSION-FILE, but it is not present. To resolve this, revert back to the previous logic of using the kernel Makefile version if not in a git repository and PERF-VERSION-FILE does not exist.
