Robert Love is an open source programmer, speaker, and author who has been using and contributing to Linux for more than 15 years. He is currently senior software engineer at Google, where he was a member of the team that developed the Android mobile platform’s kernel. Prior to Google, he was Chief Architect, Linux Desktop, at Novell. Before Novell, he was a kernel engineer at MontaVista Software and Ximian.Love’s kernel projects include the preemptive kernel, the process scheduler, the kernel events layer, inotify,VM enhancements, and several device drivers.He has given numerous talks on and has written multiple articles about the Linux kernel and is a contributing editor for Linux Journal.

The third edition of the authoritative, practical introduction to the Linux kernel for programmers who want to better understand the Linux kernel and write and develop kernel code. Authored by a well-known member of the Linux kernel development team, with a reputation for a highly readable and focused writing style, this edition has been thoroughly updated and includes improved coverage of all the major subsystems and features of the latest version of the Linux 2.6.xx kernel.

Linux Kernel Development details the design and implementation of the Linux kernel, presenting the content in a manner that is beneficial to those writing and developing kernel code. While the book discusses topics that are theoretical, it does so with the goal of assisting programmers so they better understand the topics and become more efficient and productive in their coding.

The book discusses the major subsystems and features of the Linux kernel, including design and implementation, their purpose and goals, and their interfaces. Important computer science and operating system design details are also addressed. The book covers the Linux kernel from both angles -- theoretical and applied -- which should appeal to both types of readers.

The author, a core kernel developer, shares valuable knowledge and experience on the very latest Linux kernel.

Specific topics covered will include: all the important algorithms, relevant subsystems, process management, scheduling, time management and timers, system call interface, memory addressing, memory management, paging strategies, caching layers, VFS, kernel synchronization, and signals.

An authoritative, practical guide that helps programmers better understand the Linux kernel, and to write and develop kernel code.

* Authored by core Linux kernel developers.

* In-depth coverage of all the major subsystems and features of the new Linux 2.6 kernel.

* Targeted audience includes programmers interested in gaining relevant and timely information so they may further their kernel development skills.

1、china-pub新浪微博免费赠书（5本） #china-pub赠书#共5册，《云计算核心技术剖析》http://t.cn/hehwpJ《云计算(第二版)》 http://t.cn/he3uWG《Linux内核设计与实现(原书第3版)》http://t.cn/aKbpeg《黑客与画家:硅谷创业 之父Paul Graham文集》http://t.cn/hdhFN1《Mongo...  

能够把linux内核在短短300页叙述一遍，本身就是高难度的事情。但这本书确实做到了。 这本书基本是在俯视linux内核。全书很少涉及具体实现，而是把握思想，讲解算法，可以了解到linux内核的大概，而不用纠缠于具体细节。 而且这本书虽然使用的最新2.6版内核做讲解，但穿插历史...  

作者的功力相当深厚，提纲挈领的介绍了内核的方方面面，而没有纠缠于细节，但又有细节介绍（比如O1调度器等），作为入门书最好不过了。因为ULK特别像一个手册，逻辑性不强，如果直接看，很容易陷入细节无法出来。如果先看这边书再去看ULK（和内核代码）就能很有针对性了。现在...  

先是看了一下电子版 觉得不错 于是在china-pub上买了这书（相比较电子版 纸书做笔记比较方便 自己读书的习惯 ：） ） 如果一上来就看understanding the linux kernel 3rd Edition 未免太过吃力 要是先仔细读完这本书在看前者 就容易的多 不算厚的篇幅把kernel大体上讲了一遍 ...  

用户评价

Awesome!

2011某kernel大会上，陈老师送了本

放寒假之前粗略看过一遍，要再看。 我是再看understand linux kernel 是查资料找到这本书的。

第一遍：混个脸熟

大神就是大神 ~
