This repository contains a book-in-progress about the Linux kernel and its insides.

The goal of this project is simple – to share knowledge about the Linux kernel internals and related low-level topics. If you’re curious about what’s under the hood, see the Table of Contents.

• Prior knowledge about the Assembly language
• Proficiency with the C programming language
• Additionally, you can find lots of useful information about x86_64 processors in Intel Software Developer Manuals

Thanks to the volunteers, the posts about Linux are translated into different languages.

• Brazilian Portuguese
• Chinese
• Japanese
• Korean
• Russian
• Spanish
• Turkish
