- Juan-Mariano de Goyeneche <jmseyas@dit.upm.es>
-
-The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
-linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers
-to information, appeared again and again.
-
-Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more
-get interested in the Kernel. But reading the sources is not always
-enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the
-philosophy and design decisions behind this code.
-
-Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to
-start. And, even if they exist, there was no "well-known" place which
-kept track of them. These lines try to cover this lack. All documents
-available on line known by the author are listed, while some reference
-books are also mentioned.
-
-PLEASE, if you know any paper not listed here or write a new document,
-send me an e-mail, and I'll include a reference to it here. Any
-corrections, ideas or comments are also welcomed.
-
-The papers that follow are listed in no particular order. All are
-cataloged with the following fields: the document's "Title", the
-"Author"/s, the "URL" where they can be found, some "Keywords" helpful
-when searching for specific topics, and a brief "Description" of the
-Document.
-
-Enjoy!
-
-.. note::

- The documents on each section of this document are ordered by its

- :Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I
- never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,
- but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
- simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points
- into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
- what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
- routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
- understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was
- originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
- applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".

- locking system in the Linux Kernel either in uniprocessor or SMP
- systems.

- kernels, but most of it applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly
- different". Freely redistributable under the conditions of the GNU
- General Public License.
