[Kaiwan N Billimoria]

Greetings all,

Very happy to announce this Workshop. Request you to please enroll early, it's a rare opportunity to learn how the Linux OS really works at a deep level. The cost is just Rs. 24,990/- per head all inclusive (originally priced at 33k). Starts on 19 July, 3 weekends (details below).

🚀 Announcing Our Next Deep-Dive Course: Linux Kernel Internals & Module Development (L2)! 🐧

After the fantastic response to our Linux System Programming (L1) course in Apr/May 2025, I’m excited to launch the next level in our Linux learning journey – the Linux Kernel Internals and Module Development (L2) course! 

Enroll now!
https://kaiwantech.com/courses/linux-kernel-internals

(Free Linux-themed T-shirt as well! :-))

DETAILS

🎓 Format: Live Virtual Classroom (LVC) – Yes, I’ll be personally conducting all sessions.
💡 Focus: As with my books, it’s a solid blend of essential theory + intense hands-on, practical learning.

📘 Includes:

• Comprehensive Courseware PDFs

• In-depth Lab Tasks Manual PDF (new!)

• Non-trivial Quizzes (with instant scoring + insights)

• New and improved Lab Tasks

🧠 What You’ll Learn (a genuine deep dive):

• Kernel source download, config, build

• Writing Loadable Kernel Modules (LKMs)

• Kernel architecture (kernel stacks, thread_info, task_struct, current, task iteration)

• Memory management internals (memory arch, VM split, VAS layout, [devm_]kmalloc/vmalloc slab APIs, OOM killer...)

• CPU scheduler internals (visualization with perf timechart, CFS, EEVDF, real-time, cgroups, ...)

• Concurrency & synchronization (the problem, critical sections, spinlocks, mutexes, percpu, RCU...)

🧪 Environment: x86_64 VM, with demos also on ARM SBCs (Raspberry Pi, TI BBB).

🧩 Prerequisites:

• Proficient in Linux CLI

• Comfortable coding in C on Linux

• Familiarity with glibc/system calls
  (No prior kernel experience assumed.)
  
  

🗓️ Schedule: 5 Full Days spread across 3 Weekends:

• Sat 19 Jul (Full) | Sun 20 Jul (Half)

• Sat 26 Jul (Full) | Sun 27 Jul (Half)
