Pro Linux Kernel Module Programming 2015 (Paperback)


Pro Linux Kernel Module Programming is your step-by-step guide to developing, debugging, and testing Linux Kernel Modules (LKMs) with ease. As LKMs and the applications that use them become more widely used, there are an increasing number of system software developers who wish to become involved in the development and maintenance of Linux-based systems. Some of these engineers are motivated purely by personal interest; some work for Linux companies, some work for hardware manufacturers, and some are involved with in-house development projects. However, all face a common problem: the learning curve for the kernel module is getting longer and steeper. The system is becoming increasingly complex, and it is very large. This is where Pro Linux Kernel Module Programming comes in. This book takes you from downloading Linux kernel all the way to extending it by writing your own modules, and everything in between. Discover common errors people make, and best practices you can follow. Written in a free-flowing fashion, and explaining concepts first with lots of examples, you will learn the relevant kernel data structures, and the actual implementation. You will understand kernel module development, for example: device types, kernel development process, kernel objects, kernel interfaces; which will help you to understand why and how module works. You will then move onto developing LKMs with ease. Understand and demystify LKMs today using Pro Linux Kernel Module Programming.
