Hello everyone!
I will be thankful if anyone read this mail.
I was reading one of "HOWTO" article "Implementing a System Call on Linux 2.6 for i386"
I am a B.Tech computer science student and new to Linux kernel. I am following a book "Understanding Linux kernel 3rd edition " by Bovet and Cesati. As your time is much much important so i am writing the purpose of this mail in points :
1. I want to understand and implement process basics , how system calls works , inter process communication , adding new system calls and interfaces in API , adding new functions to "libc and call these interfaces and system calls from user program" etc.
2. The method you told does not add anything to API or libc , i want to implement system call through API or glibc , so that there will be no need of creating "testmycall.h" (header file ) while writing a test file to test newly created system call.
3. How the Linux kernel interact with the hardware (i want to go in such a detail so that i can make such a customizable Linux kernel so that i can use that kernel to open my home door , its a example only , i want to understand and use it to perform my experiments)
I think you have got the purpose of this mail , so ITS HUMBLE REQUEST CAN YOU TELL ME THE DIRECTION WHERE I SHOULD MOVE , ANY BOOK TO UNDERSTAND THESE BASICS SPECIALLY ADDING SYSTEM CALL USING API / LIBC , ANY LINK YOU HAVE AND ANY FORUM WHERE I CAN POST QUESTIONS .
Thank you so much for your kind help.
