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.

Many applications check for available kernel features via: - /proc/modules (loaded modules, present if CONFIG_MODULES=y) - $(MODLIB)/modules.builtin (builtin modules) They fail to detect features if the kernel was built with CONFIG_MODULES=n and modules.builtin isn't installed. Therefore, add the target "_builtin_inst_" and make "install" and "modules_install" depend on it. Tests results: - make install: kernel image is copied as before, modules.builtin copied - make modules_install: (CONFIG_MODULES=n) nothing is copied, exit 1 Signed-off-by:Jonas Zeiger <jonas.zeiger@talpidae.net> Signed-off-by:
