Description
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. |
