Linux

Operating Systems Fundamentals

Concurrency primitives, synchronisation patterns, virtual memory, and the boot path — the building blocks every Linux engineer needs in working memory.

Linux System Programming

The user-space side of the kernel ABI — processes, files, signals, IPC, threads, and sockets.

The Linux Programming Interface

Michael Kerrisk · the canonical reference for Linux system calls.

What it covers

Process creation and termination, file I/O and the VFS, signals, pipes and FIFOs, POSIX message queues, semaphores and shared memory, POSIX threads, and the socket API. If a Linux syscall has a man page, this book has a chapter on it.

Companion projects in the Resources section: thread pool, producer–consumer queue, and publisher–subscriber.

Linux Kernel Development

Subsystems, schedulers, drivers, and how to read — and contribute to — the kernel tree.
