Linux Kernel Development: High-Performance, Security, and Modern Systems

By Jesse L. Gunter

Are you ready to stop tuning knobs and start designing the engine?
Every professional in cloud computing, embedded systems, AI, or cybersecurity relies on the Linux kernel. But as systems grow larger and faster, the old rules of kernel development no longer apply. Performance bottlenecks hide in memory access, security flaws stem from simple pointer errors, and traditional debugging is too slow. The issue isn't a lack of information; it's a lack of a single, modern, forward-looking guide that shows you how the kernel works on a multi-core, NVMe-driven, and container-heavy server today.
The wait is over. This book is your professional mentor and the blueprint for the next generation of Linux systems.
You will master the very technologies that define competitive advantage: eBPF for revolutionary tracing and high-speed networking acceleration; the advanced security defenses like KASLR and KPTI; and the entire DMA-BUF framework for zero-copy data transfer in AI pipelines. We demystify the art of Real-Time (RT) tuning, teach you the strict rules of the kernel community's Git workflow, and even prepare you for the future with a hands-on introduction to Rust for memory-safe kernel programming.
Stop wasting time with obsolete guides and code that just "works." Learn to build code that is provably safe, reliably fast, and truly scalable.
Your journey to becoming a Linux Kernel Master starts here. Upgrade your expertise-buy this book now and join the elite ranks of professional kernel engineers.
