This book will take you from being a ‘C’ application developer to being ready to modify your first Linux kernel code. It covers the major systems of the kernel and provides enough detail to point you in the right direction should you need to actually make changes. This is the book to start with in your journey to modifying the kernel.

It’s important to realize what this book is NOT. It will not get you started writing kernel device drivers. It will not cover every data structure in the kernel. Rather, it hits on the major points with great technical accurace and readability.

It’s also important ou meet a few prequisites before buying this book, otherwise you will not get the most from it. You should have:

archetypes config.toml content data layouts resources static themes A good working knowledge of the ‘C’ programming language

archetypes config.toml content data layouts resources static themes A good basic background of operating system concepts

archetypes config.toml content data layouts resources static themes A good working knowledge of basic data structures

For example, if you aren’t adept with ‘C’ pointers, you will struggle to read the code examples. For example, if you don’t already know the difference between a physical address and a logical address, you will have a higher hill to climb to get through the chapter on process memory. For example, if you don’t know what a queue, stack, and linked-list are, you will struggle through some of the algorithm descriptions.

This book is first rate and the material is described with accuracy and readability. The right audience will find the material here indispensible.
