Find an introduction to the architecture, concepts and algorithms of the Linux kernel in Professional Linux Kernel Architecture, a guide to the kernel sources and large number of connections among subsystems. Find an introduction to the relevant structures and functions exported by the kernel to userland, understand the theoretical and conceptual aspects of the Linux kernel and Unix derivatives, and gain a deeper understanding of the kernel. Learn how to reduce the vast amount of information contained in the kernel sources and obtain the skills necessary to understand the kernel sources.
Professional Linux Kernel Architecture
As the Linux kernel constantly evolves, so must your understanding of the central functions of the kernel. Linux expert Wolfgang Mauerer focuses on version 2.6.24 (as well as summarizing changes to versions 2.6.25 and 2.6.26) of the kernel as he walks you through the concepts, underlying structures, and implementation of the Linux kernel. Keeping a close connection with the source code—as well as the components and subsystems of the kernel—this book reviews the VFS layer and discusses virtual filesystems and the Extended filesystem family and examines how the page and buffer cache speed up kernel operations.
You'll take a look at the peculiarities of various architectures supported by the kernel, explore the assorted tools and means of working efficiently with the kernel sources, and investigate the numerous social aspects of kernel development and the Linux kernel community. Ultimately, this insightful book will serve as an indispensable step towards understanding structure and implementation of the Linux kernel.
What you will learn from this book
*Various ways of viewing the kernel—as an enhanced machine, a resource manager, and a library
*How the kernel handles all time-related requirements, both with low and high resolution
*The mechanisms required to ensure proper operation of the kernel on multiprocessor systems
*How modules add new functionality to the kernel
*How the kernel deals with memory management, page reclaim, and swapping
*How the kernel deals with networks and implements TCP/IP
Who this book is for
This book is for system programmers, administrators, developers of Linux-based solutions, and overall Linux enthusiasts. A solid foundation of C programming is required.

Wolfgang Mauerer is a quantum physicist whose professional interests are centered around quantum cryptography, quantum electrodynamics, and compilers for — you guessed it — quantum architectures. With the confirmed capacity of being the worst experimentalist in the known universe, he sticks to the theoretical side of his profession, which is especially reassuring considering his constant fear of accidentally destroying the universe. Outside his research work, he is fascinated by operating systems, and for more than a decade — starting with an article series about the kernel in 1997 — he has found great pleasure in documenting and explaining Linux kernel internals. He is also the author of a book about typesetting with LaTeX and has written numerous articles that have been translated into seven languages in total.
When he’s not submerged in vast Hilbert spaces or large quantities of source code, he tries to take the opposite direction, namely, upward — be this with model planes, a paraglider, or on foot with an ice axe in his hands: Mountains especially have the power to outrival even the Linux kernel. Consequently, he considers planning and accomplishing a first-ascent expedition to the vast arctic glaciers of east Greenland to be the really unique achievement in his life.
Being interested in everything that is fundamental, he is also the author of the first compiler for Plankalk ¨ ul, the world’s earliest high-level language devised in 1942–1946 by Konrad Zuse, the father of the computer. As an avid reader, he is proud that despite the two-digit number of computers present in his living room, the volume required for books still occupies a larger share.

详细而且内容够新的内核书籍
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
Wolfgang Mauerer真的是个德国人? 至少 看名应该是的。外貌倒不像,封面上可是个黑发的帅哥。不得不承认,这在第一感上影响了我对该书的兴趣,长的像明星的那能写出什么好书啊。 虽然是一块砖,也非常贵, 但是内容是非常全面和详细的。我因为学习内核Scheduler在书店读完了... (展开)侧重于内核整体设计,着重于讲how
不错的说,和代码结合很好
讲内核最好的一本书,没有之一
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
做了几年内核开发,内核的书基本都翻过,唯有这一本仔细读了好几遍。其他书不是瞎掰,就是讲的太浅。要想学习内核的人,这本书必读。在读书的时候,建议配合内核代码一起读,如果只读书,很快会忘记;如果只读代码,你很难真正领略内核的万种风情、惊奇技巧。还有各种复合模式... (展开)> 更多书评 20篇

一定要先自己思考一下要学的内容, 之后再读, 否则很容易陷入书本中.

花了一个半月时间,对照着中文版纸书,啃完了这本书的电子版。十年前出版的书,很多代码在内核中已经过时,书中也有不少错误,但依然不影响它成为五星好书,内核中最关键部分的概念并不过时,而这本书把这些概念讲解得非常清晰,书中配图真是太好看了。

感觉比understanding Linux kernel要好,言简意赅,架构非常清晰,适合入门。
