About
The book provides an introduction to architecture, concepts and algorithms of the Linux kernel. The huge size of the kernel sources and the large number of connections between the numerous subsystems require providing clear guidance to the reader. Code flow diagrams are extensively employed to visualize the program logic and code paths in a clear and concise manner - the book contains more than 230 figures. To keep close contact with the sources, the most important parts are discussed line by line. Great care is taken to ensure that code doesn t take too much space, because we don t simply want to be a listing of the Linux source code as some other books are. · Introduction· Introduction and Overview· ProcessManagement and Scheduling· Memory Management· Virtual ProcessMemory· Locking and Interprocess Communication· Device Drivers· Modules· The Virtual Filesystem· The Extended Filesystem Family· Filesystems without Persistent Storage· Extended Attributes and Access Control Lists· Networks· System Calls· Kernel Activities· Time management· Page and Buffer Cache· Data Synchronization· Page Reclaim and Swapping· Auditing
