Linus Torvald released the first version of a kernel in 1991, inspired at the time by both proprietary Unix and the Minix system. Thirty-four years later, this system has evolved with stability and robustness, making it almost indispensable for the DevSecOps community. The Linux kernel forms the robust core of countless systems, from embedded devices to vast data centers, driving unparalleled power and flexibility. This book is your essential guide to deeply understanding this fundamental component and mastering the art of developing high-performance kernel-level code. This book meticulously details the kernel's history, architectural evolution, and custom build processes. You will master device driver fundamentals, distinguishing user from kernel space, and understanding the Linux Device Model (LDM). The guide concludes with task/process management, real-time concepts, and essential kernel debugging and profiling. By the end of this book, you will be well-equipped to confidently develop, optimize, and debug kernel-level code. This book is for software engineers looking to understand the Linux kernel's architecture, modify it, and develop custom modules.
