UNDERSTANDING THE LINUX KERNEL

Summary: The topics of this book appears to be on the OS core, but its examples are detailed as if from a device driver developer standpoint. It's important for books like this to provide guidelines to advise readers about what can and what cannot be changed. An obvious chapter topic for this book is the history of Linux development in the form of code improvements over time. The author does describe, at the end of the book, the process of submitting patches. However, the book doesn't touch the various debates about whether or not a company needs to give out source code to everyone or only to buyers of the binary products. I'd also like to see some coverage of API development for Linux as well as coverage of the interfaces to some of the famous user space
