Features: This book provides detailed and comprehensive annotations and explanations for all code files of the early Linux operating system kernel (v0.11), aiming to help readers gain a thorough and profound understanding of Linux's working mechanisms in the shortest possible time, laying a solid foundation for further learning and research on the Linux system. The book first takes the evolution history of Linux source code versions as the main line, introducing in detail the development history of the Linux system, emphasizing the important differences and improvements between various kernel versions, and explaining the reasons for choosing version 0.11 (0.95) as the research subject. Then, based on the organization structure of the kernel source code, the book annotates and explains all kernel programs and files in detail. While annotating, it also introduces relevant knowledge that readers should understand and provides related hardware information. The book also introduces the organization structure and relationships of the kernel source code. This book is suitable as a practical textbook and reference book for computer science students studying operating system courses, as well as for Linux operating system enthusiasts for self-study. It can also be used as a reference book for technical personnel with a certain foundation for embedded development and applications. The book provides detailed annotations and explanations for all source code files of the early Linux operating system kernel, including introductions to the differences between various kernel versions, and annotations for all code based on the organization structure of the kernel source code.
