Kernel development tools (was Re: Software Prefetching using Machine learning)

[Irfan Ullah (울라 이르판)]

Thank you.
You are absolutely right. As a freshman in the kernel development, and
having experience in high level languages, things look complicated :(.
Can you please suggest me what is the efficient and easy way to exchange
data between kernel space and user space. I want the way in which the
kernel should initiate the communication; the kernel daemon first sends the
data to the user space daemon, and the user space daemon (waiting and
listening to the kernel space daemon) receives and processes the data, and
then sends feedback. There are many tools i.e., netlink
(connectionless, asynchronous), ioctl, and /proc available.
Which tool,  and library you suggest for performing the task? and How it
could be done?
I would be grateful if you could provide me with some links/examples/blogs.
Thanks again :).
