To quote me, the author of the book: If you want to know how to build, configure, and install a custom Linux kernel on your machine, buy this book. It is written by someone who spends every day building, configuring, and installing custom kernels as part of the development process of this fun, collaborative project called Linux.
I'm especially proud of the chapter on how to figure out how to configure a custom kernel based on the hardware running on your machine.
This is an essential task for anyone wanting to wring out the best possible speed and control of your hardware. This book is intended to cover everything that is needed to know in order to properly build, customize, and install the Linux kernel.
No programming experience is needed to understand and use this book. We discuss, for example, how certain subsystems are implemented in the 2. Specifically, this book is up to date as of Linux kernel version 2. Although the kernel is a moving target and no effort can hope to capture such a dynamic beast in a timeless manner, my intention is that this book is relevant for developers and users of both older and newer kernels. Although this book discusses the 2. This book targets Linux developers and users who are interested in understanding the Linux kernel.
It is not a line-by-line commentary of the kernel source. Nor is it a guide to developing drivers or a reference on the kernel API. Instead, the goal of this book is to provide enough information on the design and implementation of the Linux kernel that a sufficiently accomplished programmer can begin developing code in the kernel.
Kernel development can be fun and rewarding, and I want to introduce the reader to that world as readily as possible. This book, however, in discussing both theory and application, should appeal to readers of both academic and practical persuasions.
I have always been of the mind that one needs to understand the theory to understand the application, but I try to balance the two in this work. Following is what you need for this book: This book is for Linux programmers beginning to find their way with Linux kernel development. Linux kernel and driver developers looking to overcome frequent and common kernel development issues, as well as understand kernel internals, will benefit from this book. With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book Chapter Click here to download it.
Kaiwan has worked on many aspects of the Linux system programming stack, including Bash scripting, system programming in C, kernel internals, device drivers, and embedded Linux work. His contributions include drivers to the mainline Linux OS and many smaller projects hosted on GitHub. His Linux passion feeds well into his passion for teaching these topics to engineers, which he has done for well over two decades now.
It doesn't hurt that he is a recreational ultrarunner too. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches.
This means that you will learn how to create modules for the Linux kernel on your own. The Linux kernel is one of the most important and far-reaching open-source projects. That is why Novell Press is excited to bring you the second edition of Linux Kernel Development, Robert Love's widely acclaimed insider's look at the Linux kernel.
This authoritative, practical guide helps developers better understand the Linux kernel through updated coverage of all the major subsystems as well as new features associated with the Linux 2. You'll be able to take an in-depth look at Linux kernel from both a theoretical and an applied perspective as you cover a wide range of topics, including algorithms, system call interface, paging strategies and kernel synchronization.
Get the top information right from the source in Linux Kernel Development. Where do you download the patches? Why does the kernel bother to mount the rootfs filesystem before the real one? How do you apply or revert a patch? Are there any alternatives to patch? What is new in each Linux release? Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a challenge or meet an objective is the most valuable role Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project, there should be a process.
Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here?
And is there a different way to look at it? They are the person who asks the right questions to make Linux Kernel Development investments work better. Featuring new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Linux Kernel Development improvements can be made.
In using the questions you will be better able to: - diagnose Linux Kernel Development projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices - implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals - integrate recent advances in Linux Kernel Development and process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines Using a Self-Assessment tool known as the Linux Kernel Development Scorecard, you will develop a clear picture of which Linux Kernel Development areas need attention.
Your purchase includes access details to the Linux Kernel Development self-assessment dashboard download which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next.
You will receive the following contents with New and Updated specific criteria: - The latest quick edition of the book in PDF - The latest complete edition of the book in PDF, which criteria correspond to the criteria in Lifetime Updates is an industry-first feature which allows you to receive verified self assessment updates, ensuring you always have the most accurate information at your fingertips.
This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor, compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and Linux System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls, mv, and X exist.
Written primarily for engineers looking to program better at the low level, this book is an ideal teaching tool for any programmer. Even with the trend toward high-level development, either through web software such as PHP or managed code C , someone still has to write the PHP interpreter and the C virtual machine. Linux System Programming gives you an understanding of core internals that makes for better code, no matter where it appears in the stack.
