Description: Art of Linux Kernel Design : Illustrating the Operating System Design Principle and Implementation, Paperback by Yang, Lixiang; Wenfeng, Liang; Dazhao, Chen; Tianhou, Liu; Ruobing, Wu, ISBN 1466518030, ISBN-13 9781466518032, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This is an in-depth study of the intricacies of the Linux kernel, presented in a way which emphasizes the interrelationships of processes and points out critical junctions through both verbal descriptions and diagrams. The boot process is examined in detail, with specific memory locations of crucial data structures identified and their interactions detailed. Chapters are organized in a linear way, from the bootup to device initialization and process activation, through discussions of process creation and execution (separately for process I and subsequent processes), to file operations (reading, writing, creation, installation, modification, closing and deleting). A discussion of processes in userspace follows, and buffer function and structure are elucidated along with a description of multiprocess files and interprocess communication. Finally, a large chapter introduces the reader to design guidelines for an operating system. Information contained here should be sufficient to understand the main functions of Linux OS as well as those of operating systems in general and enable the reader to take first steps towards designing their own OS.
