Best book to learn Linux Kernal Hacking

[ferox]

Please suggest me a book to learn the Linux Kernal Coding. I mean a book which comments on the Linux Kernal line by line. (N.B. Line by line doesn't mean line by line.)
Thanks in advance for any cooperation. :)

Well, there were a book describing the Linux Kernel as U said line by line, but it's obsoleted now, because it describes 2.0.*.

There are good books:

"Understanding the Linux Kernel, 2-nd edition."
It describes 2.4.* series with some hints to 2.5.*.
Probably, the 3-d edition is comming soon.

There is a good book for driver developers (it's free online). Search for "Linux Device Drivers". It covers some internals and has links to kernel sources.

I know there are some other good books in sale (U can search on Amazon):

And there are lots sites providing information which may be useful for studing the Linux Kernel programming as http://www.kernelnewbies.org/.

Take a look through Documentation subdir in kernel's src. In addition to documentation there, read a file "kernel-docs.txt".
