Many thanks to Richard Riley.

With

  (require 'etags-table)
  (setq etags-table-search-up-depth 1)

Emacs automatically search for TAGS file starting
from current directory and go up until found.

This allow use TAGS for multiply project
by building TAGS file on the root of each project.

And performance is good (need no more than second time wait
when go to definition).

'semantic' I also will be use for 'global-semantic-idle-summary-mode'
but I don't want replace TAGS with it
as I know how TAGS works and with etags/ctags I can
easy parse new file type based on regexp
(no need for elisp programming).

'etags-table.el' have only 100 line of elist.
Why do not include it into official Emacs?

Automatic TAGS search up depth very useful feature.
