Conceptual Architecture of the Linux Kernel

 

 

This paper describes the abstract or conceptual software architecture of the Linux kernel. This level of architecture is concerned with the large-scale subsystems within the kernel, but not with particular procedures or variables. One of the purposes of such an abstract architecture is to form a mental model for Linux developers and architects. The model may not reflect the as-built architecture perfectly, but it provides a useful way to think about the overall structure. This model is most useful for entry-level developers, but is also a good way for experienced developers to maintain a consistent and accurate system vocabulary. The architecture presented here is the result of reverse engineering an existing Linux implementation; the primary sources of information used were the documentation and source code. [via]
