linux-insides is a book-in-progress about the Linux kernel and its insides. The goal of this project is simple - to share knowledge about the Linux kernel internals and related low-level topics. If you're curious about what's under the hood, see the Table of Contents.
[!IMPORTANT] I started writing this series when the latest version of the kernel was
3.18. A lot has changed since then, and I am in progress of updating the content to reflect modern kernels (v6.18+). I'll continue revising the posts as the kernel evolves.
[!TIP] You can get started with Assembler with my other series of posts about the Assembly programming.
Thanks to the volunteers, the posts about Linux are translated into different languages.
[!NOTE] The translations may diverge from the original content.
