Gain a firm practical understanding of the fundamentals of Linux
kernel internals, learn to write high-quality kernel module code,
and kernel synchronization Key Features * Discover how to write
Linux kernel and module code for real-world products * Implement
industry-grade techniques in real-world scenarios for fast,
efficient memory allocation and data synchronization * Understand
and exploit kernel architecture, CPU scheduling, and kernel
synchronization techniques Book Description The 2nd Edition of
Linux Kernel Programming is an updated, comprehensive introduction
for new programmers to the Linux kernel. This book uses the recent
5.10 Long-Term Support (LTS) Linux kernel series, which will be
maintained until 2026, showing 5.X/6.X new features. In this new
edition, you'll start the journey by learning how to build the
kernel from source, including doing a kernel build for the popular
Raspberry Pi. You'll then learn, step by step, how to write your
first kernel module by leveraging the kernel's powerful Loadable
Kernel Module (LKM) framework. You'll then get to delve into key
kernel internals topics including Linux kernel architecture, memory
management, and CPU scheduling. You'll understand the deep issues
of concurrency, and gain insight into how they can be addressed
with various locking technologies (mutexes, spinlocks, atomic /
refcount operators and even lock-free technologies). By the end of
this 2nd Edition book, you'll have a better understanding of the
fundamentals of writing Linux kernel and kernel module code that
can be used in real-world projects and products. What you will
learn * Configure and build the 5.10 / 6.x kernels from source *
Write high-quality modular kernel code (LKM framework) for 5.10 /
6.x kernels * Explore the Linux kernel architecture * Get to grips
with key internals details regarding memory management within the
kernel * Understand and work with various dynamic kernel memory
alloc/dealloc APIs * Discover key internals aspects regarding CPU
scheduling within the kernel * Gain a deeper understanding of
kernel concurrency issues * Learn how to work with key kernel
synchronization primitives Who This Book Is For This book is for
beginner Linux programmers and developers looking to get started
with Linux kernel, providing a knowledge base to understand
required kernel internal topics and overcome frequent and common
development issues. A basic understanding of Linux CLI and C
programming is assumed
