From the Publisher:Linux Core Kernel Commentary is divided into two parts: code and commentary. The code is listed and numbered sequentially and corresponds to the commentary in the second part of the book. In addition, the commentary is cross-referenced back to the code in the first part of the book. Covers the following main subsystems of the Linux kernel: Memory Manager, Process Scheduler, and Inter-Process Communication. Also covers interrupts, signals, system initialization, symmetric multiprocessing, and the sysctl interface. Covers the nucleus of the code, including design and architecture. Adopts and extends the method used by the famous Lion's Commentary on Unix, (isbn1-57398-013-7) which still is a much sought after title even 20 years after publication. Uses a horizontal format (11" x 8 3/8" trim size) which allows for exhaustive cross-referencing, space for easy-to-read columns of code, and the book to stay flat while open. Over 39,000 lines of code are excerpted and explained in detail. Includes extensive cross-referencing and architectural flow charts to enhance understanding of the structure of the code. Linux Core Kernel Commentary is currently the only commentary-style book available on the Linux core kernel. Covers the newest 2.2 version of the Linux kernel, released in January 1999. Includes the Linux code. Includes software that allows the code to be easily searched for specific features.
