0009 The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
0010 linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
0011 to information, appeared again and again.
0012
0013 Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
0014 get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
0015 enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
0016 philosophy and design decisions behind this code.
0017
0018 Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
0019 start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
0020 kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack.
0021
0022 PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
0023 include a reference to it here, following the kernel's patch submission
0024 process. Any corrections, ideas or comments are also welcome.
0025
0026 All documents are cataloged with the following fields: the document's
0027 "Title", the "Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some
0028 "Keywords" helpful when searching for specific topics, and a brief
0029 "Description" of the Document.

0074 as a tool to understand a running Linux system.
0075 Having obtained a trace-log a kernel hacker can read and understand
0076 source code more determined and with context.
0077 In a detailed example this approach is demonstrated in tracing
0078 and the way of data in a TCP Connection through the kernel.
0079 Finally this trace-log is used as base for more a exact conceptual
0080 exploration and description of the Linux TCP/IP implementation.*

0264 how your Operating System allows you to manage a large number of
0265 open files (file descriptors in UNIX/POSIX, or FDs) in your
0266 application. You want the OS to notify you when FDs become active
0267 (have data ready to be read or are ready for writing). Ideally you
0268 want a mechanism that is scalable. This means a large number of
0269 inactive FDs cost very little in memory and CPU time to manage".

0399 writing, and several different facilities have been provided for
0400 different situations. We also investigate the complex topic of
