scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py incorrectly assumes that
each .mod file only contains one line. That assumption was correct when
the script was originally created, but commit 9413e7640564 ("kbuild:
split the second line of *.mod into *.usyms") changed the .mod file
format so that there is one entry per line, and potentially many lines.
The problem can be reproduced by using Kbuild to generate
compile_commands.json, like this:
make CC=clang compile_commands.json
In many cases, the problem might be overlooked because many subsystems
only have one line anyway. However, in some subsystems (Nouveau, with
762 entries, is a notable example) it results in skipping most of the
subsystem.
Fix this by fully processing each .mod file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
