Unlock the power of the Linux kernel with Linux Kernel Programming 2025: A Complete Guide for Developers. This practical book is your step-by-step path to becoming a confident systems programmer and mastering one of the most valuable skills in modern software development.
Aimed at intermediate C programmers, it reveals what happens beneath the operating system and how the kernel manages hardware, processes, and memory. Whether you work in embedded systems, IoT, cloud, or cybersecurity, kernel knowledge gives you a powerful edge in writing efficient, low-level software.
You will begin by setting up a safe virtual environment, then progress through six major sections covering kernel foundations, modules, core subsystems, concurrency, device drivers, and advanced debugging. You will configure and compile your own kernel, write loadable modules, explore process management, use synchronization tools like spinlocks and mutexes, and build complete device drivers. Each chapter combines theory with real code, exercises, and clear explanations.
By the end, you will understand kernel architecture, handle concurrency, interact with hardware using memory-mapped I/O, debug with tools like ftrace and perf, and contribute patches to the Linux community.
Perfect for developers moving from user space, embedded engineers, computer science students, and Linux enthusiasts with basic C and command-line knowledge.
Linux Kernel Programming 2025 gives you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to master kernel development and advance your programming career.
