Mastering Linux Kernel Development

Summary

Process scheduling is an ever-evolving aspect of the kernel, and as Linux evolves and diversifies further into many computing domains, finer tweaks and changes to the process scheduler will be mandated. However, with our understanding established over this chapter, gaining deeper insights or comprehending any new changes will be quite easy. We are now equipped to go further and explore another important aspect of job control and signal management. We will brush through basics of signals and move on into signal management data structures and routines of the kernel.
