| As others mention, using the Linux kernel to come up to speed with C is the
| wrong approach.  If you have a strong desire to learn kernel programming
| concepts while coming up to speed on C, I would suggest getting the latest
| book on Xinu, buying an Intel Galileo board and working your way through
| that book.  Xinu is what I cut my teeth on 25 years ago and I remember it
| being a terrific learning environment.  Xinu is not Linux (or Unix), but
| for starting at the ground level all the concepts will map over when you
| are ready to tackle Linux kernel work.
| 
| Information for Xinu can be found here: http://www.xinu.cs.purdue.edu/

or there is always xv6 (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/) which
might be useful...
