Index of Documentation for People Interested in Writing and/or Understanding the Linux Kernel

.. note::
 The latest version of this document may be found at:
 :http://www.dit.upm.es/~jmseyas/linux/kernel/hackers-docs.html

The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
to information, appeared again and again.

Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
philosophy and design decisions behind this code.

Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack. All documents
available on line known by the author are listed, while some reference
books are also mentioned.

PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
send me an e-mail, and I'll include a reference to it here. Any
corrections, ideas or comments are also welcomed.

The papers that follow are listed in no particular order. All are
cataloged with the following fields: the document's "Title", the
"Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some "Keywords" helpful
when searching for specific topics, and a brief "Description" of the
Document.

Enjoy!

         writing character device drivers as loadable kernel modules. This
         month, we further investigate the field of interrupt handling.
         Though it is conceptually simple, practical limitations and
         constraints make this an ''interesting'' part of device driver
         writing, and several different facilities have been provided for
         different situations. We also investigate the complex topic of

         event queues.
       :Description: From the Introduction: "I/O Event handling is about
         how your Operating System allows you to manage a large number of
         open files (file descriptors in UNIX/POSIX, or FDs) in your
         application. You want the OS to notify you when FDs become active
         (have data ready to be read or are ready for writing). Ideally you
         want a mechanism that is scalable. This means a large number of
         inactive FDs cost very little in memory and CPU time to manage".

     * Title: **The Kernel Hacking HOWTO**

       :Keywords: HOWTO, kernel contexts, deadlock, locking, modules,
         symbols, return conventions.
       :Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I
         never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,
         but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
         simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points
         into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
         what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
         routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
         understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was
         originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
         applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".

         sound architecture in the 2.6 kernel version.

         locking system in the Linux Kernel either in uniprocessor or SMP
         systems.
       :Notes: "It was originally written for the later (>2.3.47) 2.3
         kernels, but most of it applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly
         different". Freely redistributable under the conditions of the GNU
