+Build Framework
+===============
+
+The perf build framework was adopted from the kernel build system, hence the
+idea and the way how objects are built is the same.
+
+Basically the user provides set of 'Build' files that list objects and
+directories to nest for specific target to be build.
+
+Unlike the kernel we don't have a single build object 'obj-y' list that where
+we setup source objects, but we support more. This allows one 'Build' file to
+carry a sources list for multiple build objects.
+
+a) Build framework makefiles
+----------------------------
+
+The build framework consists of 2 Makefiles:
+
+  Build.include
+  Makefile.build
+
+While the 'Build.include' file contains just some generic definitions, the
+'Makefile.build' file is the makefile used from the outside. It's
+interface/usage is following:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile srctree=$(KSRC) dir=$(DIR) obj=$(OBJECT)
+
+where:
+
+  KSRC   - is the path to kernel sources
+  DIR    - is the path to the project to be built
+  OBJECT - is the name of the build object
+
+When succefully finished the $(DIR) directory contains the final object file
+called $(OBJECT)-in.o:
+
+  $ ls $(DIR)/$(OBJECT)-in.o
+
+which includes all compiled sources described in 'Build' makefiles.
+
+a) Build makefiles
+------------------
+
+The user supplies 'Build' makefiles that contains a objects list, and connects
+the build to nested directories.
+
+Assume we have the following project structure:
+
+  ex/a.c
+    /b.c
+    /c.c
+    /d.c
+    /arch/e.c
+    /arch/f.c
+
+Out of which you build the 'ex' binary ' and the 'libex.a' library:
+
+  'ex'      - consists of 'a.o', 'b.o' and libex.a
+  'libex.a' - consists of 'c.o', 'd.o', 'e.o' and 'f.o'
+
+The build framework does not create the 'ex' and 'libex.a' binaries for you, it
+only prepares proper objects to be compiled and grouped together.
+
+To follow the above example, the user provides following 'Build' files:
+
+  ex/Build:
+    ex-y += a.o
+    ex-y += b.o
+
+    libex-y += c.o
+    libex-y += d.o
+    libex-y += arch/
+
+  ex/arch/Build:
+    libex-y += e.o
+    libex-y += f.o
+
+and runs:
+
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=ex
+  $ make -f tools/build/Makefile.build dir=. obj=libex
+
+which creates the following objects:
+
+  ex/ex-in.o
+  ex/libex-in.o
+
+that contain request objects names in Build files.
+
+It's only a matter of 2 single commands to create the final binaries:
+
+  $ ar  rcs libex.a libex-in.o
+  $ gcc -o ex ex-in.o libex.a
+
+You can check the 'ex' example in 'tools/build/tests/ex' for more details.
+
+b) Rules
+--------
+
+The build framework provides standard compilation rules to handle .S and .c
+compilation.
+
+It's possible to include special rule if needed (like we do for flex or bison
+code generation).
+
+c) CFLAGS
+---------
+
+It's possible to alter the standard object C flags in the following way:
+
+  CFLAGS_perf.o += '...' - alters CFLAGS for perf.o object
+  CFLAGS_gtk += '...'    - alters CFLAGS for gtk build object
+
+This C flags changes has the scope of the Build makefile they are defined in.
+
+
+d) Dependencies
+---------------
+
+For each built object file 'a.o' the '.a.cmd' is created and holds:
+
+  - Command line used to built that object
+    (for each object)
+
+  - Dependency rules generated by 'gcc -Wp,-MD,...'
+    (for compiled object)
+
+All existing '.cmd' files are included in the Build process to follow properly
+the dependencies and trigger a rebuild when necessary.
+
+
+e) Single rules
+---------------
+
+It's possible to build single object file by choice, like:
+
+  $ make util/map.o    # objects
+  $ make util/map.i    # preprocessor
+  $ make util/map.s    # assembly

+1) perf build
+=============
+The perf build process consists of several separated building blocks,
+which are linked together to form the perf binary:
+  - libperf library (static)
+  - perf builtin commands
+  - traceevent library (static)
+  - GTK ui library
+
+Several makefiles govern the perf build:
+
+  - Makefile
+    top level Makefile working as a wrapper that calls the main
+    Makefile.perf with a -j option to do parallel builds.
+
+  - Makefile.perf
+    main makefile that triggers build of all perf objects including
+    installation and documentation processing.
+
+  - tools/build/Makefile.build
+    main makefile of the build framework
+
+  - tools/build/Build.include
+    build framework generic definitions
+
+  - Build makefiles
+    makefiles that defines build objects
+
+Please refer to tools/build/Documentation/Build.txt for more
+information about build framework.
+
+
+2) perf build
+=============
+The Makefile.perf triggers the build framework for build objects:
+   perf, libperf, gtk
+
+resulting in following objects:
+  $ ls  *-in.o
+  gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o  perf-in.o
+
+Those objects are then used in final linking:
+  libperf-gtk.so <- gtk-in.o  libperf-in.o
+  perf           <- perf-in.o libperf-in.o
+
+
+NOTE this description is omitting other libraries involved, only
+     focusing on build framework outcomes
