Interactive Linux kernel map
|
|
Have a look at Linux kernel source from a bird's eye view. The Linux kernel is one of the most mysterious open source projects. There is a lot of documentation, however it is still a difficult subject to comprehend. The Interactive Linux kernel map is intended to help people gain an overview of the structure and interactions of the Linux Kernel. This approach is similar to classic operating system diagrams in which application and user space interfaces are at the top, hardware interfaces and drivers are at the bottom and separate functions are shown in vertical bars

The Linux kernel is one of the most mysterious open source projects. There is a lot of documentation, however it is still a difficult subject to comprehend. The Interactive Linux kernel map is intended to help people gain an overview of the structure and interactions of the Linux Kernel. This approach is similar to classic operating system diagrams in which application and user space interfaces are at the top, hardware interfaces and drivers are at the bottom and separate functions are shown in vertical bars.
This map is not just a static diagram, it is interactive. You can zoom in and drag around to see details. More than 250 of the most important files, structures and functions are spread over the map. Each function (and any other object) has a hypertext link to its full Linux source. For example, you can find a module that interests you, click on its key function,examine its source code and then continue surfing to the Linux cross reference site. Furthermore, all functions are connected. You can trace the call stack and data flow from a system call to a hardware or from an interrupt back to a system call. Full Story |
