The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been
|
|
added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or
|
|
organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent
|
|
document! With luck things will improve quickly over time.
|
|
|
|
This initial section contains overall information, including the README
|
|
file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,
|
|
etc.

|
This section describes CPU vulnerabilities and provides an overview of the
|
|
possible mitigations along with guidance for selecting mitigations if they
|
|
are configurable at compile, boot or run time.

Here is a set of documents aimed at users who are trying to track down
|
|
problems and bugs in particular.

This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to
|
|
application developers. Documents covering various aspects of the kernel
|
|
ABI will be found here.

The rest of this manual consists of various unordered guides on how to
|
|
configure specific aspects of kernel behavior to your liking.
