Josh Triplett reports that initramfs-tools needs modules.builtin and modules.builtin.modinfo to create a working initramfs for a non-modular kernel. If this is a general tooling issue not limited to Debian, I think it makes sense to change modules_install. This commit changes the targets as follows when CONFIG_MODULES=n. In-tree builds: make modules -> no-op make modules_install -> install modules.builtin(.modinfo) External module builds: make modules -> show error message like before make modules_install -> show error message like before Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/36a4014c73a52af27d930d3ca31d362b60f4461c.1686356364.git.josh@joshtriplett.org/ Reported-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu> Tested-by: Nicolas Schier <nicolas@fjasle.eu> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Tested-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
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.
