This reverts commit e0b250b57dcf403529081e5898a9de717f96b76b, 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.

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.
