Linux Kernel
For people who are very new to kernel and kernel development:
I will highly recommend you to first complete MIT 6.1810: Operating System Engineering Labs and Readings together with a linux kernel book like Understanding the Linux Kernel 3e: From I/O Ports to Process Management.
This book goes into much details which is not needed, just sift through the chapters along with
xv6 book
in the MIT course.Look into theory and complete the labs.
Once you are done with the course, you will have good background to explore the linux kernel source.
