Concrete Architecture of the Linux Kernel

The objective of this report is to describe the concrete (as-built) architecture of the Linux kernel. A concrete architecture description of the Linux kernel serves as a high-level specification for developers to modify and extend the existing kernel source code. We used a reverse engineering tool (Portable Bookshelf) to extract the detailed design information out of the Linux kernel source. The biggest challenge we had to overcome was to cluster the enormous volume of extracted information into subsystems. We clustered the extracted information based on our domain-specific knowledge about modern operating systems; the Software Landscape visualization tool was used in an iterative process to view and refine this clustering.
