【内容简介】
本书是一本Linux内核编程的权威指南,其独特的由表及里学习途径使得内核编程更易于理解。本书从用户空间到内核,把内核内在的实现原理与用户级编程的基本原则相联系,系统地跟踪了实现功能。这种途径有助于在你所了解的Linux知识基础上,加深对内核组成及工作机理的理解。 .
为了理解内核代码并掌控其行为,作者逐步引入所有的工具和汇编语言编程技术,并一一比较x86和PowerPC的实现,揭示了含糊不清的实现功能。另外,书中对源代码例子和实际项目都加有适当注释。本书是第一本全面涵盖快速增长的PowerPC Linux开发平台的书,也是惟一一本用Linux构建系统彻底讨论内核配置的书。 ..
本书主要内容
● 数据结构
● x86和PPC汇编语言
● 查看内核内部状态
● Linux进程模型
● 用户空间和内核空间
● 中断和异常
● 内存分配和跟踪
● 跟踪子系统行为
● I/O交互
● 文件系统和文件操作
● 调度和同步
● 内核启动过程
● 内核构建过程
● 配置选项
● 设备驱动程序
本书介绍了Linux内核编程需要的所有技巧和技术,无论对于系统程序员、软件工程师、系统分析员、测试人员还是Linux的热衷者来说,都是不可或缺的参考书。...

【前言】
Technology in general and computers in specific have a magical allure that seems to consume those who would approach them. Developments in technology push established boundaries and force the re-evaluation of troublesome concepts previously laid to rest. The Linux operating system has been a large contributor to a torrent of notable shifts in industry and the way business is done. By its adoption of the GNU Public License and its interactions with GNU software, it has served as a cornerstone to the various debates that surround open source, fr..

【序言】
Here there be dragons. Medieval mapmakers wrote that about unknown or dangerous places, and that is likely the feeling you get the first time you type:.

"Where do I start?" you wonder. "What exactly am I looking at? How does it all hang together and actually work?"
Modern, full-featured operating systems are big and complex. The number of subsystems is large, and their interactions are many and often subtle. And while it's great that you have the Linux kernel source code (more about tha..
