Features

• Linux Kernel Internals - Provides a curated educational resource on the low-level inner workings of the Linux kernel.
• Kernel Interrupt Models - Explains how hardware interrupts and system calls drive the internal behavior of the Linux kernel.
• Kernel Data Structures - Explores production kernel implementations of data structures including doubly linked lists and radix trees.
• Boot Sequence Tracing - Analyzes the execution flow from bootloader decompression through to the kernel entry point.
• Kernel Development - Provides guidance on the practical workflow for compiling the kernel and writing patches.
• Kernel Memory Implementations - Covers the implementation of paging, memory blocks, and fixed mapping within the kernel.
• Foundational Concepts - Teaches foundational low-level concepts such as paging, ELF formats, inline assembly, and CPU instructions.
• Execution Flow Analysis - Examines the mechanisms user-space programs use to request services and how the kernel processes those requests.
• Symmetric Multiprocessing Mechanisms - Details kernel-level strategies for symmetric multiprocessing, including the use of per-CPU variables and CPU masking.
• Interrupt and Deferred Work Handlers - Analyzes the implementation of hardware interrupts and deferred work handlers like softirqs and workqueues.
• Kernel Mutexes and Spinlocks - Describes the use of kernel-specific locking primitives such as spinlocks, mutexes, and read-copy-update mechanisms.
• Technical Literature Translations - Translates complex English technical books into Simplified Chinese while preserving conceptual accuracy.
• Kernel Documentation Translations - Provides Chinese translations of Linux kernel internals documentation, synchronized with upstream changes via Git workflows.
• Localization Forks - Uses a specialized repository fork to apply localization patches to the original English technical text.
• Translation Fork Synchronizations - Maintains translations in a forked repository and synchronizes them with upstream changes via Git workflows.
• Book Collaborations - Develops a community-driven technical resource using version control and pull-request review workflows.
• Kernel Timekeeping Subsystems - Explains the kernel's internal mechanisms for managing clock sources, timers, and time-related system calls.
• Translation Patch Sets - Treats Chinese translations as a layer of modifications applied over original English source files.
• Open Source & Collaboration - Manages community-driven content projects using Git workflows and peer reviews for incremental updates.
• Translation Synchronizers - Implements workflows to synchronize translated content with upstream changes using Git merge and diff processes between repositories.
• Control Group Resource Limiting - Explains how to isolate and limit CPU and memory consumption for process groups using Linux control groups.
