The kernel, however, including modules, has no such restriction. That can make debugging modules tricky because you can easily bring the system to its knees.

Solo's new open-source program BumbleBee will make it much easier to build Linux eBPF programs. Written by Steven Vaughan-Nichols, Senior Contributing Editor Jan. 6, 2022 at 1:52 p.m. PT ...

More and more Rust drivers are being added to the Linux kernel. While Rust code represents just 0.1% of the total codebase, that’s still 143 separate files across all facets of the kernel.

The Linux kernel is a monolithic kernel. It’s mainly one large program, but it closely interacts with other, distinct, programs such as drivers and kernel modules.

Although Linux does not (yet) support this binary format, the good news is that you can learn how to write kernel modules by implementing COM support for the Linux kernel.

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.

With this second excerpt, Abbott discusses kernel modules and device drivers in Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6. In this final installment of the excerpt, Abbott continues this ...

In this second excerpt, Abbott discusses kernel modules and device drivers. In Part 1 of this excerpt the author worked through an example of a simple kernel module. In this installment, Abbott ...

The OP is talking about mucking about in the kernel. Even if that book did talk about kernel programming, Stevens has been dead for 15-20 years so the book would be horribly out of date.

When you program in the kernel, there is no operating system to step in and safely stop your code from running and tell you that you have a problem. The Linux kernel is pretty nice to its own code.
