Books:
Core kernel programming books:
1. Linux device drivers by Rubini, Greg kroah hartman and Jim Corbett: Third edition if you really want to learn Kernel programming, this is your book. Its a MUST BUY book. Probably most questions will be answered somewhere in this one.
2. Linux kernel Development by Robert Love third edition. Again, this is a highly recommended textbook. It gives you working details of kernel in fairly simple language.
3. Understanding Linux Kernel by Bovet and Cessati This is an advance book, this is intended for more serious coding. Its recommended that you get yourself a bit familiar with x86 arch to use this book to fullest.
4.Essential Linux device drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran This book is a good book in addition to classic text, its well written and simpler in nature, highly recommended.
C language programming books:
1. The C programming language by Kerninghan and Ritchie. Its a must-have book, most code in Kernel is written in C language and mastering C is important and there is nothing better than KnR for this job.
2. Practical C programming by By Steve Oualline Good book for developing a good coding style in C language
3. C traps and pitfalls by Andrew koeing A book which talks about limitations and issues with C programming, a very helpful textbook to understand where you can make mistakes.
4. Expert C programming: deep C secrets by Peter V Linden A very good books, which teaches a lot of nuances of C language.
5. The C programming Manual by Harbison and Steele This book ventures deep into the C programming language mostly details of standards and changes in C, its quite advance in nature.
Some preliminary books:
You may need to get yourself familiar with a lot of extra stuff, which may be needed:
1. Advance 80836 programming techniques by Jim Turley: A good book which gives details about x86 arch, this book will make you ready to use ULK as previously pointed out.
2. The art of assembly programming: A good book to learn some assembly language, which may be required if you want to dig into some architecture related code.
3. Design of Unix operating system by Maurice J bach: Classic text on how unix operating system is designed, its a good text to understand the principles behind a lot of subsystems in operating system.
4. Beginning Linux programming by Richard Stones and Neil Matthews its always a good idea to learn more about user space programming, before you dive in kernel. Mostly for two reasons: a) Get familiar with facilities provided by operating systems b) Get your hands on some coding. This book is highly recommended text for user space.
