You may want to look at this free course on kernel programming:
http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-linux-kernel-programming
I believe that the entire course is free now (even though it mentions costing $39).http://crashcourse.ca/

Thanks for reply, I'm now looking for procfs example,
like this: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x710.html
or this: https://kernelnewbies.org/Documents/Kernel-Docbooks? action="">target=procfs-guide_2.6.29.pdf
But it seems that all this tutorial were deprecate,
since 3.10 change for proc_create_entry()
Are there any resource for procfs to leran?
thanks!.
Louie Lu.
