Re: Books Regarding Linux Kernel
I'd say it's the best for beginners and intermediate level coders (i.e., software engineers). Robert Love's make the difficult understandable. ---John On 2016-02-22 01:02, sanjeev sharma wrote: > Hello, > > Please don't forget to read Linux Kernel by Robert Love.It is very > good for beginner. > > Regards > Sanjeev Sharma > > On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 11:30 AM, Shiva Shankar > wrote: > >> Hi Anil, >> Listed books are enough to start programming. >> >> You can also refer to >> >> Professional Linux Kernel Architecture Book by Wolfgang Mauerer >> >> Thanks >> >> On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 11:26 AM, Anil Nair >> wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> Can anyone suggest any good book for understanding the Linux >>> Kernel? >>> >>> Are these books enough for understanding workings of Linux Kernel? >>> >>> 1.Linux Kernel in a Nutshell >>> 2.Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition >>> 3.Linux Kernel Development (3rd Edition) >>> >>> -- >>> -- >>> Regards, >>> Anil Nair >>> >>> ___ >>> Kernelnewbies mailing list >>> Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org >>> http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies [1] >> >> ___ >> Kernelnewbies mailing list >> Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org >> http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies [1] > > > > Links: > -- > [1] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies > > ___ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

There are lots of people currently working on this, and have been for many years. I know of at least 3 complete implementations at the moment (two of which ship in some Android phones), so I would suggest working with one of those groups to try to get their code merged into the Linux kernel. To create a 4th implementation would seem like a bit of a redundant effort. Search the archives of lwn.net for details about this if you are interested. good luck! greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Re: Books Regarding Linux Kernel
Hi Anil, The book 'Linux Programming Interface' by Michael Kerrisk who is the Linux man-pages maintainer is full of useful examples and the breadth and depth of its coverage is remarkable. When it comes to networking there is a book 'Linux Kernel Networking: Implementation and Theory' by Rami Rosen that is comprehensive and through. It helps immensely once you understand the 'subsystems' first. This will help: http://kernelnewbies.org/Documentation/Subsystems That being said if you truly want to 'understand' the kernel the best way is to start building your own and the best documentation I have found is the source itself :) Good luck !

Can someone suggest me a book on how to start contributing for linux kernel or any tutorial videos or any leads ?

Re: Books Regarding Linux Kernel
There is Understanding the Linux Kernel, Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati LKD by Love is a really good book, I love it! LDD3 can be found at http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/ I suggest the documentation from the source too: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ Best regards and good reading :) 2016-02-22 3:53 GMT-03:00 Matthew Bobrowski : > Completely agree with Kenneth. > > Best of luck! > > -- > > Kind regards, > Matthew Bobrowski > > > On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 5:05 PM, Anil Nair wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 11:32 AM, sanjeev sharma >> wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> Please don't forget to read Linux Kernel by Robert Love.It is very good for >>> beginner. >>> >>> Regards >>> Sanjeev Sharma >>> >>> On Mon, Feb 22, 2016 at 11:30 AM, Shiva Shankar >>> wrote: Hi Anil, Listed books are enough to start programming.
