Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[Kenneth Adam Miller]

Those are the popular three, but the documentation provided by kernel
authors themselves as well as source code is also expected.

Lastly, semantics of the machine are often a required read. The intel
manual might be something that belongs on your list, if you want to truly
understand.

But no book is really enough to completely understand the linux kernel.
Those just help you get started.

Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[subodh sawrav]

My recommendation will be to start with "Linux Kernel Development" by
Robert Love.
It's the best book to start with.

[Daniel.]

There is Understanding the Linux Kernel, Daniel P. Bovet, Marco Cesati

LKD by Love is a really good book, I love it!

Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[Aruna Hewapathirane]

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 !

Aruna

Books Regarding Linux Kernel

[John Chludzinski]

I'd say it's the best for beginners and intermediate level coders (i.e., 
software engineers).

Robert Love's make the difficult understandable.
