Where is the linux kernel man page?

I thought that I would install linux-doc in ubuntu and the kernel documentation would be available to me, but I do not see the man printk, kmalloc document files. what should be installed so that there are man pages. I used to install in slackware directly from the kernel sources, but in ubuntu, as I remember, you can also install from packages. and for some reason I remembered that they are installed using linux-doc. The search engine didn't answer.

Install linux-manual and linux-doc - should help.

And no one promised that these would be man pages.

$ apt show linux-doc
[...]
Description: Linux kernel specific documentation for version 4.15.0
 This package provides the various documents in the 4.15.0 kernel
 Documentation/ subdirectory.  These document kernel subsystems, APIs, device
 drivers, and so on.  See
 /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/00-INDEX for a list of what is
 contained in each file.
