Kernel 0.01 Walkthrough. After downloading Kernel 0.01 and unpacking the archive, you'll be facing a directory "linux" containing, in subdirectories, some 5900 lines of (more or less) ANSI C, around 2500 lines of C headers (#include files) and around 1450 lines of i386 assembler. The linux 0.01 kernel source is at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/Historic/ The code directories are as follows
Why do a lot of #defines in the kernel use do { ... } while(0)? There are a couple of reasons: (from Dave Miller) Empty statements give a warning from the compiler so this is why you see #define FOO do { } while(0). (from Dave Miller) It gives you a basic block in which to declare local variables. (from Ben Collins) It allows you to use more complex macros in conditional code. Imagine a macro of s
Changes done in each Linux kernel release. Other places to get news about the Linux kernel are LWN kernel status or the Linux Kernel mailing list (there is a web interface in www.lkml.org or lore.kernel.org/lkml). The lore.kernel.org/lkml/ archive is also available via NTTP if you prefer to use a newsreader: use nntp://nntp.lore.kernel.org/org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel for that. List of changes of

How does the kernel implements Hashtables? It wasn't uncommon, when working with older versions of the kernel, to encounter redundant code managing classical data structures such as linked lists, hashtables, etc. Recent versions of the kernel now features a "unified" and very smart generic API to manipulate such data structures. Understanding this API can help you make sense of tidbits of kernel c

Guide to building the Linux kernel. Where do I find the kernel? The latest source code for the Linux kernel is kept on kernel.org. You can either download the full source code as a tar ball (not recommended and will take forever to download), or you can check out the code from the read-only git repositories. What tools do I need? To build the Linux kernel from source, you need several tools: git,
