Hi Robert, I have just joined the mailing list and very new to Kernel so this tutorial is something I'm sure I'll find very useful. Thanks! Cheers M On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 3:00 AM, <kernelnewbies-request@kernelnewbies.org>wrote:

another in an ongoing series of things i'm just throwing together, mostly to document stuff for my own benefit to use later in courseware when i figure out what to do with it. here's a summary i wrote this morning on system calls, which turned out to be longer than i'd planned (it just kind of got away from me):
