tools/tracing and tools/verification/rv are using standalone Makefiles and this approach has some drawbacks. For example, code duplication and lack of proper dependency handling, making things harder for users.
Linus suggested using perf's build system, and it is indeed the best way to go. This series replaces tools/tracing and tools/verification/rv makefiles with makefiles inspired by perf and objtool that use tools/build/ infrastructure. Thanks, Arnaldo, for the pointers via chat.
