1================================================= 2The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide 3================================================= 4 5The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been 6added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or 7organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent 8document! With luck things will improve quickly over time. 9 10This initial section contains overall information, including the README 11file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters, 12etc. 13 14.. toctree:: 15 :maxdepth: 1 16 17 README 18 kernel-parameters 19 devices 20 sysctl/index 21 22 abi 23 features 24 25This section describes CPU vulnerabilities and their mitigations. 26 27.. toctree:: 28 :maxdepth: 1 29 30 hw-vuln/index 31 32Here is a set of documents aimed at users who are trying to track down 33problems and bugs in particular. 34 35.. toctree:: 36 :maxdepth: 1 37 38 reporting-issues 39 reporting-regressions 40 quickly-build-trimmed-linux 41 verify-bugs-and-bisect-regressions 42 bug-hunting 43 bug-bisect 44 tainted-kernels 45 ramoops 46 dynamic-debug-howto 47 init 48 kdump/index 49 perf/index 50 pstore-blk 51 52This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to 53application developers. Documents covering various aspects of the kernel 54ABI will be found here. 55 56.. toctree:: 57 :maxdepth: 1 58 59 sysfs-rules 60 61This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to 62application developers and system integrators doing analysis of the 63Linux kernel for safety critical applications. Documents supporting 64analysis of kernel interactions with applications, and key kernel 65subsystems expectations will be found here. 66 67.. toctree:: 68 :maxdepth: 1 69 70 workload-tracing 71 72The rest of this manual consists of various unordered guides on how to 73configure specific aspects of kernel behavior to your liking. 74 75.. toctree:: 76 :maxdepth: 1 77 78 acpi/index 79 aoe/index 80 auxdisplay/index 81 bcache 82 binderfs 83 binfmt-misc 84 blockdev/index 85 bootconfig 86 braille-console 87 btmrvl 88 cgroup-v1/index 89 cgroup-v2 90 cifs/index 91 clearing-warn-once 92 cpu-load 93 cputopology 94 dell_rbu 95 device-mapper/index 96 edid 97 efi-stub 98 ext4 99 filesystem-monitoring 100 nfs/index 101 gpio/index 102 highuid 103 hw_random 104 initrd 105 iostats 106 java 107 jfs 108 kernel-per-CPU-kthreads 109 laptops/index 110 lcd-panel-cgram 111 ldm 112 lockup-watchdogs 113 LSM/index 114 md 115 media/index 116 mm/index 117 module-signing 118 mono 119 namespaces/index 120 numastat 121 parport 122 perf-security 123 pm/index 124 pnp 125 rapidio 126 RAS/index 127 rtc 128 serial-console 129 svga 130 syscall-user-dispatch 131 sysrq 132 thermal/index 133 thunderbolt 134 ufs 135 unicode 136 vga-softcursor 137 video-output 138 xfs 139 140.. only:: subproject and html 141 142 Indices 143 ======= 144 145 * :ref:`genindex` 146
