Versandkostenfrei!
Nicht lieferbar
Top Reasons people will buy this book:
-Covers Linux on PPC
-Top-down approach traces functionality from user space into the kernel
-Lots of code commentary and examples. It walks you through the actual
source code implementation.
-Side by side comparison of x86 and PPC
-Hands on Examples and Projects
-Covers the kernel build system.
The "Linux Kernel Primer" offers a comprehensive view of the underpinnings
of the Linux kernel. This book starts with a guide of the necessary tools a
developer needs to be able to understand and manipulate the source code
including cryptic programming fundamentals found throughout the kernel
code. It then follows up with an in depth analysis of the major subsystems
including process management, memory management, scheduling, I/O, and
filesystems. This book also provides information necessary to get started
developing on the Linux kernel. The specifics of Intel and PowerPC
architecture implementations are covered side by side providing perspective on
architecture specific features and how Linux make use of them.
Similar in approach to Kernighan's "Practice of Programming" 020161586X
Features + Benefits
Offers a comprehensive view of the underpinnings of the Linux kernel on the Intel x86 and the Power PC.
° Covers Linux on PowerPC as well as Intel x86 - PowerPC is developing at a furious rate making this a timely book.
° Uses a top down approach unique to this book
° Forward by Andrew Morton, renowned Linux Kernel Hacker, number 2 in Linux community after Linus Torvald himself.

Learn Linux kernel programming, hands-on: a uniquely effective top-down approach
The Linux® Kernel Primer is the definitive guide to Linux kernel programming. The authors' unique top-down approach makes kernel programming easier to understand by systematically tracing functionality from user space into the kernel and carefully associating kernel internals with user-level programming fundamentals. Their approach helps you build on what you already know about Linux, gaining a deep understanding of how the kernel works and how its elements fit together.
One step at a time, the authors introduce all the tools and assembly language programming techniques required to understand kernel code and control its behavior. They compare x86 and PowerPC implementations side-by-side, illuminating cryptic functionality through carefully-annotated source code examples and realistic projects.The Linux® Kernel Primer is the first book to offer in-depth coverage of the rapidly growing PowerPC Linux development platform, and the only book to thoroughly discuss kernel configuration with the Linux build system. Coverage includes
Data structures
x86 and PPC assembly language
Viewing kernel internals
Linux process model
User and kernel space
Interrupts and exceptions
Memory allocation and tracking
Tracing subsystem behavior
I/O interactions
Filesystems and file operations
Scheduling and synchronization
Kernel boot process
Kernel build system
Configuration options
Device drivers
And more...
If you know C, this book teaches you all the skills and techniques you need to succeed with Linux kernel programming. Whether you're a systems programmer, software engineer, systems analyst, test professional, open source project contributor, or simply a Linux enthusiast, you'll find it indispensable.
