Who this book is for

This book is primarily for those of you beginning your journey in the vast arena of learning and understanding modern Linux kernel architecture and internals, Linux kernel module development and, to some extent, Linux device driver development. It’s also very much targeted at those of you who have already been working on Linux modules and/or drivers, who wish to gain a much deeper, well-structured understanding of Linux kernel architecture, memory management, task scheduling, cgroups, and synchronization. This level of knowledge about the underlying OS, covered in a properly structured manner, will help you no end when you face difficult-to-debug real-world situations.
