Just as an FYI, your email was HTML, which means it won't hit LKML.
Specifically,the souce directory is /vm/linux/tools/perf on my machine,
while the build
directory is /vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf .In the build directory , Execute the
command:
/vm/linux/scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py --log_level DEBUG -d .
The resulting debugging message is:
INFO: Could not add line from /vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf/.perf.o.cmd: File
/vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf/perf.c
not found.
But actually what we want is ：
add line from /vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf/.perf.o.cmd: File
/vm/linux/tools/perf/perf.c.
The " /vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf " of the "File
/vm/tmpbuild/tools/perf/perf.c not found." is passed by "-d".
so it is the "-d" which decides the source prefix.
Then we execute:
/vm/linux/scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py --log_level DEBUG
-d /vm/linux/tools/perf
But in the oringnal code , the default build directory is the same as the
source directory:

Okay I think I see what is going on here. Your patch does not actually
fix the problem from what I can tell though:

$ make -C tools/perf -skj"$(nproc)" O=/tmp/build/perf

The script has to know where the source location is in your particular
use case because the .cmd files do not record it (maybe some future
improvement?)
This patch appears to generate what I think the compile_commands.json
should look like for the most part, I am not sure if this is proper or
works correctly though. CC'ing Tom Roeder who originally wrote this.
Tom, the initial patch and description of the issue is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/1612783737-3512-1-git-send-email-stephenzhangzsd@xxxxxxxxx/
Thanks! I'll take a look. I'm also CC'ing linux-kbuild, which is the
subtree that owns the script; I haven't been very involved since I added
it. My main concern is to make sure that changes don't break the simple
use case: generating compile_commands.json in an in-tree build without
any arguments to the script.
