8: FOR MORE INFORMATION
|
||||
|
||||
There are numerous sources of information on Linux kernel development and
|
||||
related topics. First among those will always be the Documentation
|
||||
directory found in the kernel source distribution. The top-level HOWTO
|
||||
file is an important starting point; SubmittingPatches and
|
||||
SubmittingDrivers are also something which all kernel developers should
|
||||
read. Many internal kernel APIs are documented using the kerneldoc
|
||||
mechanism; "make htmldocs" or "make pdfdocs" can be used to generate those
|
||||
documents in HTML or PDF format (though the version of TeX shipped by some
|
||||
distributions runs into internal limits and fails to process the documents
|
||||
properly).
|
||||
|
||||
Various web sites discuss kernel development at all levels of detail. Your
|
||||
author would like to humbly suggest http://lwn.net/ as a source;
|
||||
information on many specific kernel topics can be found via the LWN kernel
|
||||
index at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond that, a valuable resource for kernel developers is:
|
||||
|
||||
http://kernelnewbies.org/
|
||||
|
||||
And, of course, one should not forget http://kernel.org/, the definitive
|
||||
location for kernel release information.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of books on kernel development:
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition (Jonathan Corbet, Alessandro
|
||||
Rubini, and Greg Kroah-Hartman). Online at
|
||||
http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Kernel Development (Robert Love).
|
||||
|
||||
Understanding the Linux Kernel (Daniel Bovet and Marco Cesati).
|
||||
|
||||
All of these books suffer from a common fault, though: they tend to be
|
||||
somewhat obsolete by the time they hit the shelves, and they have been on
|
||||
the shelves for a while now. Still, there is quite a bit of good
|
||||
information to be found there.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation for git can be found at:
|
||||
|
||||
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/

||||

9: CONCLUSION
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations to anybody who has made it through this long-winded
|
||||
document. Hopefully it has provided a helpful understanding of how the
|
||||
Linux kernel is developed and how you can participate in that process.
|
||||
|
||||
In the end, it's the participation that matters. Any open source software
|
||||
project is no more than the sum of what its contributors put into it. The
|
||||
Linux kernel has progressed as quickly and as well as it has because it has
|
||||
been helped by an impressively large group of developers, all of whom are
|
||||
working to make it better. The kernel is a premier example of what can be
|
||||
done when thousands of people work together toward a common goal.
|
||||
|
||||
The kernel can always benefit from a larger developer base, though. There
|
||||
is always more work to do. But, just as importantly, most other
|
||||
participants in the Linux ecosystem can benefit through contributing to the
|
||||
kernel. Getting code into the mainline is the key to higher code quality,
|
||||
lower maintenance and distribution costs, a higher level of influence over
|
||||
the direction of kernel development, and more. It is a situation where
|
||||
everybody involved wins. Fire up your editor and come join us; you will be
|
||||
more than welcome.
