In this new edition, you’ll start the journey by learning how to build the kernel from source, including doing a kernel build for the popular Raspberry Pi. You’ll then learn, step by step, how to write your first kernel module by leveraging the kernel’s powerful Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) framework. You’ll then get to delve into key kernel internals topics including Linux kernel architecture, memory management, and CPU scheduling. You’ll understand the deep issues of concurrency, and gain insight into how they can be addressed with various locking technologies (mutexes, spinlocks, atomic / refcount operators and even lock-free technologies).
