    Linux Kernel

    Linux Kernel

    Linux Kernel source tree

    The Linux Kernel is the core component of the Linux operating systemβ€”a free, open-source, monolithic, Unix-like system kernel initiated by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and since evolved into a foundational technology powering everything from servers and supercomputers to smartphones and embedded devices. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

    NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Module

    NVIDIA Linux Open GPU Kernel Module

    NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel module source

    This is the source release of the NVIDIA Linux open GPU kernel modules, version 530.41.03. Note that the kernel modules built here must be used with GSP firmware and user-space NVIDIA GPU driver components from a corresponding 530.41.03 driver release. Currently, the kernel modules can be built for x86_64 or aarch64. If cross-compiling, set these variables on the make command line.

    Zen Kernel

    Zen Kernel

    Zen Patched Kernel Sources

    Zen Patched Kernel Sources. This is the top level of the kernel’s documentation tree. Kernel documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered documents into a coherent whole. ARC processors are highly configurable and several configurable options are supported in Linux.

    Flash Linux 0.11 Talk

    Flash Linux 0.11 Talk

    Annotated Unix system source code

    flash-linux0.11-talk is an annotated walkthrough of the Linux 0.11 kernel that explains how a tiny Unix-like system boots, schedules, handles interrupts, and manages memory. The materials break down historically compact and dense code into digestible segments, with diagrams and call flows that trace execution from bootloader to user space. By focusing on a small, early kernel, the series reveals core OS concepts without the complexity of modern subsystems.

    PRoot

    PRoot

    Chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc without privilege/setup

    ...This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like using an arbitrary directory as the new root filesystem, making files accessible somewhere else in the filesystem hierarchy, or executing programs built for another CPU architecture transparently through QEMU user mode. Also, developers can use PRoot as a generic Linux process instrumentation engine thanks to its extension mechanism, see CARE for an example. Technically PRoot relies on ptrace, an unprivileged system-call available in every Linux kernel. The new root file-system, a.k.a guest rootfs, typically contains a Linux distribution. By default PRoot confines the execution of programs to the guest rootfs only, however, users can use the built-in mount/bind mechanism to access files and directories from the actual root file-system, a.k.a host rootfs, just as if they were part of the guest rootfs.
