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. Wolfgang Mauerer. Wrox Programmer To Programmer--cover. What You Are Reading Right Now Is The Result Of An Evolution Over More Than Seven Years: After Two Years Of Writing, The First Edition Was Published In German By Carl Hanser Verlag In 2003. It Then Described Kernel 2.6.0. The Test Was Used As A Basis For The Low-level Design Documentation For The Eal4+ Security Evaluation Of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, Requiring To Update It To Kernel 2.6.18 (if The Eal Acronym Does Not Mean Anything To You, Then Wikipedia Is Once More Your Friend). Hewlett-packard Sponsored The Translation Into English And Has, Thankfully, Granted The Rights To Publish The Result. Updates To Kernel 2.6.24 Were Then Performed Specifically For This Book--p. Ix. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [1289]-1291) And Index. Bulk Book covers kernel basics but missing multi-processor, multi-core handling and virtualization as both host and client which modern Linux kernel has to handle and already handled. Architecture needs many more perspective pictures in both general and in detail instead of trivial words about the implementation details. The other things need to be handled are remoting, x-window, samba, cups, nas and nis from architectural perspect
