"If there were a book that could outline the key points, organize my thoughts, and guide me, while also paying attention to details and elaborating on subtleties to help me better and faster understand the source code, how wonderful that would be." The gentleman who said this was referring to C, but he expressed the common aspirations of those who study source code. Can we do something to make the process of learning the Linux kernel more aligned with a programmer's habits? This book answers this question. The author of this book is an avid kernel enthusiast, so his ideas naturally align with programmers. If you are a Linux kernel enthusiast, the material provided in this book will make you want to do something at the kernel level; if you are an ordinary programmer, a thorough understanding of the operating system will broaden your programming thinking.
