|
|
The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
|
|
linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
|
|
to information, appeared again and again.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
|
|
get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
|
|
enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
|
|
philosophy and design decisions behind this code.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
|
|
start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
|
|
kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack. All documents
|
|
available on line known by the author are listed, while some reference
|
|
books are also mentioned.
|
|
|
|
PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
|
|
send me an e-mail, and I'll include a reference to it here. Any
|
|
corrections, ideas or comments are also welcomed.
|
|
|
|
The papers that follow are listed in no particular order. All are
|
|
cataloged with the following fields: the document's "Title", the
|
|
"Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some "Keywords" helpful
|
|
when searching for specific topics, and a brief "Description" of the
|
|
Document.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!

:Description: A seminar paper explaining ftrace and how to use it for

illustrated at tracing the way of a TCP packet through the kernel.
|
|
:Abstract: *This short paper outlines the usage of ftrace a tracing framework
|
|
as a tool to understand a running Linux system.
|
|
Having obtained a trace-log a kernel hacker can read and understand
|
|
source code more determined and with context.
|
|
In a detailed example this approach is demonstrated in tracing
|
|
and the way of data in a TCP Connection through the kernel.
|
|
Finally this trace-log is used as base for more a exact conceptual
|
|
exploration and description of the Linux TCP/IP implementation.*

|
|
how your Operating System allows you to manage a large number of
|
|
open files (file descriptors in UNIX/POSIX, or FDs) in your
|
|
application. You want the OS to notify you when FDs become active
|
|
(have data ready to be read or are ready for writing). Ideally you
|
|
want a mechanism that is scalable. This means a large number of
|
|
inactive FDs cost very little in memory and CPU time to manage".

|
|
writing character device drivers as loadable kernel modules. This
|
|
month, we further investigate the field of interrupt handling.
|
|
Though it is conceptually simple, practical limitations and
|
|
constraints make this an ''interesting'' part of device driver
|
|
writing, and several different facilities have been provided for
|
|
different situations. We also investigate the complex topic of
|
|
DMA*.
