Understanding the Linux Kernel : Complete Linux Kernel, in one folder

linux kernel[Understanding the Linux Kernel]: Complete Linux Kernel, in one folder
Internet runs on Linux, everyone knows about this fact. Linux Kernel is one of the open source project the most complex and popular. If you want to learn the basics, there is plenty of material available online. However, the core of the Linux kernel is a subject that is difficult to comprehend.
It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In the past, we have shared two articles in the learn in faster series : Python in one image and JavaScript in one image. Along the similar lines, today we’re here with the complete Linux Kernel map.
In the Linux kernel, there are multiple layers, modules, functionalities, calls and functions - and to the make everything clear, MakeLinux has a cool interactive map of the complete kernel. Here, we are sharing this interactive map of the Linux kernel that has all the components and each item on the map is an hyperlink to the source code and documentation.
This Linux kernel map helps you to understand the complex interconnections between the subsystems of the kernel while you navigate through its source code. Let's suppose you are trying to hack down a bug and getting Irritated trying to figure out what invokes what - so here the kernel binder comes to your rescue.

Also this is very helpful if you just want to understand the subsystems. On the map, there are more than 400 prominent functions and functions are divided into major subsystems.
The relationships are shown by the lines and by clicking on any function, you'll reach to its Linux source code and documentation.
Browse the entire interactive map here on MakeLinux.
For quick reference, take a look at the picture below
