| Sumario: | Learn Linux kernel programming, hands-on : a uniquely effective top-down approach The Linux ® Kernel Primer is the definitive guide to Linux kernel programming. The authors' unique top-down approach makes kernel programming easier to understand by systematically tracing functionality from user space into the kernel and carefully associating kernel internals with user-level programming fundamentals. Their approach helps you build on what you already know about Linux, gaining a deep understanding of how the kernel works and how its elements fit together. One step at a time, the authors introduce all the tools and assembly language programming techniques required to understand kernel code and control its behavior. They compare x86 and PowerPC implementations side-by-side, illuminating cryptic functionality through carefully-annotated source code examples and realistic projects. The Linux ® Kernel Primer is the first book to offer in-depth coverage of the rapidly growing PowerPC Linux development platform, and the only book to thoroughly discuss kernel configuration with the Linux build system. Coverage includes Data structures x86 and PPC assembly language Viewing kernel internals Linux process model User and kernel space Interrupts and exceptions Memory allocation and tracking Tracing subsystem behavior I/O interactions Filesystems and file operations Scheduling and synchronization Kernel boot process Kernel build system Configuration options Device drivers And more... If you know C, this book teaches you all the skills and techniques you need to succeed with Linux kernel programming. Whether you're a systems programmer, software engineer, systems analyst, test professional, open source project contributor, or simply a Linux enthusiast, you'll find it indispensable. © Copyright Pearson Education.
