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.

This reverts commit e0b250b5, which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'. $ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1 While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install" can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas originally suggested. Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.
