Fwd: LINUX KERNEL

[Saurabh Jain]

Hello everyone!

 I will be thankful if anyone read this mail.

I was reading one of "HOWTO" article "*Implementing a System Call on Linux
2.6 for i386*"
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Implement-Sys-Call-Linux-2.6-i386/

 I am a B.Tech computer science student and new to Linux kernel. I am
following a book *"Understanding Linux kernel 3rd edition " by Bovet and
Cesati*. As your time is much much important so i am writing the purpose of
this mail in points :

1. I want to understand and implement process basics , how system calls
works , inter process communication , *adding new system calls and
interfaces in API , adding new functions to "libc and call these interfaces
and system calls from user program" * etc.

2. The method you told does not add anything to API or libc , i want to
implement system call through API or glibc , so that there will be no need
of creating "testmycall.h" (header file ) while writing a test file to test
newly created system call.

3. How the Linux kernel interact with the hardware (i want to go in such a
detail so that i can make such a customizable Linux  kernel so that i can
use that kernel to open my home door , its a example only , i want to
understand and use it to perform my experiments)

I think you have got the purpose of this mail , so ITS HUMBLE REQUEST CAN
YOU TELL  ME THE DIRECTION WHERE I SHOULD MOVE , ANY BOOK TO UNDERSTAND
THESE BASICS SPECIALLY *ADDING SYSTEM CALL USING API / LIBC *, ANY LINK YOU
HAVE AND ANY FORUM WHERE I CAN POST QUESTIONS .

Thank you so much for your kind help.
