Linux Kernel Programming Part 2 - Char Device Drivers and Kernel Synchronization

Введение в книгу : This book follows on from Linux Kernel Programming, helping you explore the Linux character device driver framework and enables you to write 'misc' class drivers. You'll learn how to efficiently interface with user apps, perform I/O on hardware memory, handle hardware interrupts, and leverage kernel delays, timers, kthreads, and workqueues. Delve into hardware interrupt handling, threaded IRQs, tasklets, softirqs, and understand which to use when Explore powerful techniques to perform user-kernel interfacing, peripheral I/O and use kernel mechanisms Work with key kernel synchronization primitives to solve kernel concurrency issues
