    The Kernel (1/5)
    • What is kernel ?

    • Controls and mediates access to hardware

    • Implements and supports fundamental abstractions:

    • Processes, files, devices etc.

    • Schedules / allocates system resources:

    • Memory, CPU, disk, descriptors, etc.

    • Enforces security and protection.

    • Responds to user requests for service (system calls).

    • Etc … Etc …
    The Kernel (2/5)
    • Design Goals:

    • Performance: efficiency, speed.

    • Utilize resources to capacity with low overhead.

    • Stability: robustness, resilience.

    • Uptime, graceful degradation.

    • Capability: features, flexibility, compatibility.

    • Security, protection.

    • Protect users from each other & system from bad users.

    • Portability.

    • Extensibility.
    The Kernel (3/5)

    70 mb of source code | 2 mb when compiled


    + 10 mb for modules
    The Kernel (4/5)
    • Kernel version : uname -a

    • 3 : Kernel version

    • 13 : The major revision of the kernel

    • 0 : The minor revision of the kernel

    • 53 : Immediate fixing / bug fixing for critical error

    • generic : Distribution specific sting.


    The Kernel (5/5)
    • Modules: tow types:

    • Kernel modules (ko) run in kernel space

    • User modules (so) run in user space.

    • /lib/modules : Modules location

    • lsmod : Command to list loaded kernel modules

    • modinfo : Print a modules info

    • modprobe : Utility to manage modules

    • /etc/modules : Startup configuration file

    • Why updating the kernel :

    • Security Fixes

    • Stability Improvements

    • Updated Drivers

    • New Kernel Functions

    • Increased Speed
    Compiling the K (2/3)
    • kernel.org
