About this course
Course Overview
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Internals (RHD361) is a hands-on course providing experienced developers an intensive, low-level examination of the Linux kernel architecture. Topics include kernel compilation, debugging tools and techniques, and internal kernel APIs including synchronization, process management, and memory management. These topics provide a solid understanding of the kernel's architecture, providing a useful base from which more specialized topics such as device drivers or performance tuning can be addressed, such as those presented in Red Hat Enterprise System Monitoring and Performance Tuning (RH442) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Device Drivers (RHD362).
