We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Mastering Linux Kernel Development" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Mastering Linux Kernel Development looks at the Linux kernel, its internal arrangement and design, and various core subsystems, helping you to gain significant understanding of this open source marvel. You will look at how the Linux kernel, which possesses a kind of collective intelligence thanks to its scores of contributors, remains so elegant owing to its great design.This book also looks at all the key kernel code, core data structures, functions, and macros, giving you a comprehensive foundation of the implementation details of the kernels core services and mechanisms. You will also look at the Linux kernel as well-designed software, which gives us insights into software design in general that are easily scalable yet fundamentally strong and safe.

What this book covers

, looks closely at one of the principal abstractions of Linux called the process and the whole ecosystem, which facilitate this abstraction. We will also spend time in understanding address space, process creation, and threads.

, Deciphering the Process Scheduler, explains process scheduling, which is a vital aspect of any operating system. Here we will build our understanding of the different scheduling policies engaged by Linux to deliver effective process execution.
