You took 'tools/perf' as an example,
so I just thought you were trying to fix the tools/.



I can get scripts/ entries without any problem.

If you do O= build, you can pass that directory
to the -d option of gen_compile_commands.py

  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        specify the output directory used for the
kernel build (defaults to the working
                        directory)


This is the steps I tested.


masahiro@...ar:~/ref/linux$ make O=build  defconfig all -j24
  [ snip ]
masahiro@...ar:~/ref/linux$
./scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py  -d build
masahiro@...ar:~/ref/linux$ grep '"file":' compile_commands.json |
grep scripts/ | head -n5
    "file": "/home/masahiro/ref/linux/scripts/mod/empty.c"
    "file": "/home/masahiro/ref/linux/scripts/mod/sumversion.c"
    "file": "/home/masahiro/ref/linux/scripts/mod/file2alias.c"
    "file": "/home/masahiro/ref/linux/scripts/mod/modpost.c"
