Linux Kernel Debugging Training
Course Code : DEC411
Duration        : 15 Hrs
Prerequisite
Basic kernel interfaces and methods such as how to write, compile, load and unload modules, use synchronization primitives, and the basics of memory allocation and management
Introduction
Linux Kernel training is a mandatory course for anyone planning to learn Linux Kernel internals and programming. Participants will learn how Linux-C programming in kernel space is different than user space and they will be able to do their own kernel configuration and do kernel building from kernel source code. Subsequently, the course goes over various kernel sub-systems such as Kernel Virtual Memory, Process Management, Linux Scheduler, Kernel Synchronization Primitives, Kernel Time-keeping Architecture, Kernel Memory Management, Process Address Space, System Calls infrastructure in the Kernel, Signals, Virtual Filesystems, Page/Buffer Cache and Swapping in the Kernel.
