This warning was useful when users previously needed to manually build the kernel and run this script. Now you can simply do 'make compile_commands.json', which updates all the necessary build artifacts and automatically creates the compilation database. There is no more worry for a mistake like "Oh, I forgot to build the kernel". Now, this warning is rather annoying. You can create compile_commands.json for an external module: $ make M=/path/to/your/external/module compile_commands.json Then, this warning is displayed since there are usually less than 300 files in a single module.

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.
