7==============================

Jonathan Corbetb51208d2016-10-26 15:43:00 -0600[diff] [blame]9This is the top level of the kernel's documentation tree. Kernel
10documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress;
11that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered
12documents into a coherent whole. Please note that improvements to the
13documentation are welcome; join the linux-doc list at vger.kernel.org if
14you want to help out.

Jonathan Corbetb51208d2016-10-26 15:43:00 -0600[diff] [blame]51Introduction to kernel development
52----------------------------------
53
54These manuals contain overall information about how to develop the kernel.
55The kernel community is quite large, with thousands of developers
56contributing over the course of a year. As with any large community,
57knowing how things are done will make the process of getting your changes
58merged much easier.

69Kernel API documentation
70------------------------
71
72These books get into the details of how specific kernel subsystems work
73from the point of view of a kernel developer. Much of the information here
74is taken directly from the kernel source, with supplemental material added
75as needed (or at least as we managed to add it — probably *not* all that is
Andy Deng20698892017-01-25 12:14:33 +0800[diff] [blame]76needed).
