Explore Implementation of core kernel subsystems About This Book *
Master the design, components, and structures of core kernel
subsystems * Explore kernel programming interfaces and related
algorithms under the hood * Completely updated material for the
4.12.10 kernel Who This Book Is For If you are a kernel programmer
with a knowledge of kernel APIs and are looking to build a
comprehensive understanding, and eager to explore the
implementation, of kernel subsystems, this book is for you. It sets
out to unravel the underlying details of kernel APIs and data
structures, piercing through the complex kernel layers and gives
you the edge you need to take your skills to the next level. What
You Will Learn * Comprehend processes and fles-the core abstraction
mechanisms of the Linux kernel that promote effective
simplification and dynamism * Decipher process scheduling and
understand effective capacity utilization under general and
real-time dispositions * Simplify and learn more about process
communication techniques through signals and IPC mechanisms *
Capture the rudiments of memory by grasping the key concepts and
principles of physical and virtual memory management * Take a sharp
and precise look at all the key aspects of interrupt management and
the clock subsystem * Understand concurrent execution on SMP
platforms through kernel synchronization and locking techniques In
Detail Mastering Linux Kernel Development looks at the Linux
kernel, its internal arrangement and design, and various core
subsystems, helping you to gain significant understanding of this
open source marvel. You will look at how the Linux kernel, which
possesses a kind of collective intelligence thanks to its scores of
contributors, remains so elegant owing to its great design. This
book also looks at all the key kernel code, core data structures,
functions, and macros, giving you a comprehensive foundation of the
implementation details of the kernel's core services and
mechanisms. You will also look at the Linux kernel as well-designed
software, which gives us insights into software design in general
that are easily scalable yet fundamentally strong and safe. By the
end of this book, you will have considerable understanding of and
appreciation for the Linux kernel. Style and approach Each chapter
begins with the basic conceptual know-how for a subsystem and
extends into the details of its implementation. We use appropriate
code excerpts of critical routines and data structures for
subsystems.
