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. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 README kernel-parameters devices sysctl/index abi features This section describes CPU vulnerabilities and their mitigations. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 hw-vuln/index Here is a set of documents aimed at users who are trying to track down problems and bugs in particular. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 reporting-issues reporting-regressions quickly-build-trimmed-linux bug-hunting bug-bisect tainted-kernels ramoops dynamic-debug-howto init kdump/index perf/index pstore-blk 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. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 sysfs-rules This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to application developers and system integrators doing analysis of the Linux kernel for safety critical applications. Documents supporting analysis of kernel interactions with applications, and key kernel subsystems expectations will be found here. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 workload-tracing The rest of this manual consists of various unordered guides on how to configure specific aspects of kernel behavior to your liking. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 1 acpi/index aoe/index auxdisplay/index bcache binderfs binfmt-misc blockdev/index bootconfig braille-console btmrvl cgroup-v1/index cgroup-v2 cifs/index clearing-warn-once cpu-load cputopology dell_rbu device-mapper/index edid efi-stub ext4 filesystem-monitoring nfs/index gpio/index highuid hw_random initrd iostats java jfs kernel-per-CPU-kthreads laptops/index lcd-panel-cgram ldm lockup-watchdogs LSM/index md media/index mm/index module-signing mono namespaces/index numastat parport perf-security pm/index pmf pnp rapidio ras rtc serial-console svga syscall-user-dispatch sysrq thermal/index thunderbolt ufs unicode vga-softcursor video-output xfs .. only:: subproject and html Indices ======= * :ref:`genindex`
