compile_commands.json can be used with clangd to enable language server
protocol-based assistance. For kernel itself this can be built with
scripts/gen_compile_commands.py, but other projects (e.g., libbpf, or
BPF selftests) can benefit from their own compilation database file,
which can be generated successfully using external tools, like bear [0].
So, instead of adding compile_commands.json to .gitignore in respective
individual projects, let's just ignore it globally anywhere in Linux repo.
While at it, remove exactly such a local .gitignore rule under
tools/power/cpupower.

A compile_commands.json file is used by the LSP in tools like VSCode and
Neovim to look up function and type information. The file is specific to
the state of the current system; add it to the gitignore.
Note: the kernel root's gitignore has a similar entry:
/compile_commands.json
I am not sure why they use '/' for a file as it is used for directories.

Commit ac5a181d06 ("cpupower: Add cpuidle parts into library") added
libcpupower.so.0.0.1 which should be hidden from git commands. This
patch changes the ignore to all libcpupower.so.* .

The files generated by the Makefiles in the debug directories aren't listed
in the .gitignore file in the root of the cpupower tool which causes these
files to show up in the output of 'git status'.

Use the quiet/verbose mechanism found in kernel tools, without
relying on the special tool "ccdv"

CPU power consumption vs performance tuning is no longer
limited to CPU frequency switching anymore: deep sleep states,
traditional dynamic frequency scaling and hidden turbo/boost
frequencies are tied close together and depend on each other.
The first two exist on different architectures like PPC, Itanium and
ARM, the latter (so far) only on X86. On X86 the APU (CPU+GPU) will
only run most efficiently if CPU and GPU has proper power management
in place.
Users and Developers want to have *one* tool to get an overview what
their system supports and to monitor and debug CPU power management
in detail. The tool should compile and work on as many architectures
as possible.
Once this tool stabilizes a bit, it is intended to replace the
Intel-specific tools in tools/power/x86
