Core API Documentation¶
This is the beginning of a manual for core kernel APIs. The conversion (and writing!) of documents for this manual is much appreciated!
Core utilities¶
This section has general and “core core” documentation. The first is a massive grab-bag of kerneldoc info left over from the docbook days; it should really be broken up someday when somebody finds the energy to do it.
Data structures and low-level utilities¶
Library functionality that is used throughout the kernel.
Concurrency primitives¶
How Linux keeps everything from happening at the same time. See locking for more related documentation.
Low-level hardware management¶
Cache management, managing CPU hotplug, etc.
Memory management¶
How to allocate and use memory in the kernel. Note that there is a lot more memory-management documentation in Linux Memory Management Documentation.
Interfaces for kernel debugging¶
Everything else¶
Documents that don’t fit elsewhere or which have yet to be categorized.
