newbie: learning linux kernel?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello guys!

I'd like to get a deeper understanding about the Linux kernel.
First I'd like to concentrate on the core (VM/Scheduler/Process etc.). 

I have a decent knowledge of Linux/Unix System Programming, 
and master C. I have bought several books on Linux/Unix internals,
including:

"Understanding the Linux Kernel", 2ed, Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati.


I found already on the net several nice docs about Linux kernels. 
However, the problem is that the information are spread accross the 
docs, and it's hard to figure out the "big picture"...  

Well, I'm a practice oriented guys. To really understand how the 
kernel works, I have to experiment and trace step by step what the
kernel does. I plan to use UML, since it works in user space (and 
as result, it makes life easier to gdb the kernel). 

Do you have any other suggestions/advices ??


Regards,
Loic.
