Linux 内核揭秘 is a Chinese-language educational resource that explains the internals and mechanisms of the Linux kernel.
The project addresses the need for accessible documentation about how the Linux kernel works at a deep level. It is a translation and adaptation of an existing English-language kernel guide, structured as an in-progress book that covers kernel internals and low-level topics. The material is organized by topic with a table of contents, and readers can explore specific areas of kernel operation based on their interests.
This resource is suited for developers and students who want to understand Linux kernel fundamentals and are comfortable with assembly language and C. The project assumes readers have prior knowledge of these languages and references the Intel software developer manual for x86_64 processor details. The tool provides multiple output formats through mdBook, including HTML for web browsing, PDF, and EPUB for offline reading. A GitHub Pages deployment is automatically generated when the master branch updates.
The project maintains an organized translation workflow with a dedicated translation status document and contribution guidelines. Community members can participate by translating untranslated sections, synchronizing updates from the upstream English version, reviewing existing translations for accuracy, and correcting errors. The maintainers operate a Google Group mailing list for kernel learning and contribution discussions. Issues and pull requests are triaged between the upstream English repository and the Chinese translation repository to ensure problems are addressed in the appropriate location.
