Linux Kernel Programming: A comprehensive and practical guide to kernel internal

Description: Linux Kernel Programming by Kaiwan N. Billimoria Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description With this new edition, get to grips with Linux kernel development on the long-term 6.1 (S)LTS kernel in a hands-on way with the help of brilliant code examples. Publisher Description Gain both a firm practical understanding and sufficient theoretical insight into the inner workings of Linux kernel internals, learn to write high-quality kernel module code, understand the complexities of kernel synchronizationPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format.Key FeaturesDiscover how to write Linux kernel and module code for real-world productsImplement industry-grade techniques in real-world scenarios for fast, efficient memory allocation and data synchronizationUnderstand and exploit kernel architecture, CPU scheduling, and kernel synchronization techniquesBook DescriptionThe 2nd Edition of Linux Kernel Programming is an updated, comprehensive guide for new programmers to the Linux kernel. This book uses the recent 6.1 Long-Term Support (LTS) Linux kernel series, which will be maintained until Dec 2026, and also delves into its many new features. Further, the Civil Infrastructure Project has pledged to maintain and support this 6.1 Super LTS (SLTS) kernel right until August 2033, keeping this book valid for years to come!Youll begin this exciting journey by learning how to build the kernel from source. In a step by step manner, you will then learn how to write your first kernel module by leveraging the kernels powerful Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) framework. With this foundation, you will delve into key kernel internals topics including Linux kernel architecture, memory management, and CPU (task) scheduling. Youll finish with understanding the deep issues of concurrency, and gain insight into how they can be addressed with various synchronization/locking technologies (e.g., mutexes, spinlocks, atomic/refcount operators, rw-spinlocks and even lock-free technologies such as per-CPU and RCU).By the end of this book, youll have a much better understanding of the fundamentals of writing the Linux kernel and kernel module code that can straight away be used in real-world projects and products.What you will learnConfigure and build the 6.1 LTS kernel from sourceWrite high-quality modular kernel code (LKM framework) for 6.x kernelsExplore modern Linux kernel architectureGet to grips with key internals details regarding memory management within the kernelUnderstand and work with various dynamic kernel memory alloc/dealloc APIsDiscover key internals aspects regarding CPU scheduling within the kernel, including cgroups v2Gain a deeper understanding of kernel concurrency issuesLearn how to work with key kernel synchronization primitivesWho this book is forThis book is for beginner Linux programmers and developers looking to get started with the Linux kernel, providing a knowledge base to understand required kernel internal topics and overcome frequent and common development issues.A basic understanding of Linux CLI and C programming is assumed. Author Biography Kaiwan N. Billimoria taught himself BASIC programming on his dads IBM PC back in 1983. He was programming in C and Assembly on DOS until he discovered the joys of Unix, and by around 1997, Linux!Kaiwan has worked on many aspects of the Linux system programming stack, including Bash scripting, system programming in C, kernel internals, device drivers, and embedded Linux work. He has actively worked on several commercial/FOSS projects. His contributions include drivers to the mainline Linux OS and many smaller projects hosted on GitHub. His Linux passion feeds well into his passion for teaching these topics to engineers, which he has done for well over two decades now. Hes also the author of Hands-On System Programming with Linux, Linux Kernel Programming (and its Part 2 book) and Linux Kernel Debugging. It doesnt hurt that he is a recreational ultrarunner too.
