    perf tools: Version incorrect with some versions of grep · 58d406ed
    Josh Hunt authored
    Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
    systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
    from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
    Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
    versions, gives a usable version number.
