how to understand the kernerl source files in a simple way

what header files i have to understand first

for example to understand do_fork() function for process creation which is defined in kernel/fork.c

There is no sure shot answer to that question.
you need to keep reading the book and look at source files it points you to.
use ctags/csope to navigate through the code.
Besides read more, look at kernelnewbies.org site for more information.
google a little before you ask these questions.
