The Linux kernel user’s and administrator’s guide¶

The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have beenadded to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order ororganization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherentdocument! With luck things will improve quickly over time.

This initial section contains overall information, including the READMEfile describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,etc.

This section describes CPU vulnerabilities and their mitigations.

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

This is the beginning of a section with information of interest toapplication developers. Documents covering various aspects of the kernelABI will be found here.

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