Learn Linux kernel programming, hands-on: a uniquely effective top-down approach

The Linux? Kernel Primer is the definitive guide to Linux kernel programming. The authors' unique top-down approach makes kernel programming easier to understand by systematically tracing functionality from user space into the kernel and carefully associating kernel internals with user-level programming fundamentals. Their approach helps you build on what you already know about Linux, gaining a deep understanding of how the kernel works and how its elements fit together.

One step at a time, the authors introduce all the tools and assembly language programming techniques required to understand kernel code and control its behavior. They compare x86 and PowerPC implementations side-by-side, illuminating cryptic functionality through carefully-annotated source code examples and realistic projects. The Linux? Kernel Primer is the first book to offer in-depth coverage of the rapidly growing PowerPC Linux development platform, and the only book to thoroughly discuss kernel configuration with the Linux build system. Coverage includes

  • Data structures

  • x86 and PPC assembly language

  • Viewing kernel internals

  • Linux process model

  • User and kernel space

  • Interrupts and exceptions

  • Memory allocation and tracking

  • Tracing subsystem behavior

  • I/O interactions

  • Filesystems and file operations

  • Scheduling and synchronization

  • Kernel boot process

  • Kernel build system

  • Configuration options

  • Device drivers

  • And more...

If you know C, this book teaches you all the skills and techniques you need to succeed with Linux kernel programming. Whether you're a systems programmer, software engineer, systems analyst, test professional, open source project contributor, or simply a Linux enthusiast, you'll find it indispensable.
