Product Description
The new edition of Understanding the Linux Kerneltakes you on a guided tour through the most significant datastructures, many algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel.Probing beyond the superficial features, the authors offer valuableinsights to people who want to know how things really work inside theirmachine. Relevant segments of code are dissected and discussed line byline. The book covers more than just the functioning of the code, itexplains the theoretical underpinnings for why Linux does things theway it does. The new edition of the book has been updated to coverversion 2.4 of the kernel, which is quite different from version 2.2:the virtual memory system is entirely new, support for multiprocessorsystems is improved, and whole new classes of hardware devices havebeen added. You’ll learn what conditions bring out Linux’s bestperformance, and how it meets the challenge of providing good systemresponse during process scheduling, file access, and memory managementin a wide variety of environments. If knowledge is power, then thisbook will help you make the most of your Linux system. About the Author
