Linux System Programming

Linux System Programming 是一本基础的介绍Linux 系统编程的书籍，深入浅出，语言通俗易懂，对了解基本的Linux系统函数和原理很有帮助。由于没有冗繁的代码分析和说教，非常适合Linux初学者。虽然有些方面类似Linux man page, 但是如此年轻的作者能写出如此浅显易懂的Linux书籍实属难得。 建议大家看英文版(不知有无中文版).

the native POSIX thread library for linux

The Linux Threads implementation which today is Linux's POSIX thread library is based on the principles outlined by the kernel developers at the time the code was written(1996). The basic assumption is that context switches among related processes are fast enough to handle each user-level thread by one kernel thread. Kernel processes can have various degree of relationship. The POSIX thread specification requires sharing of almost all resources.

dso_how_to

Today, shared libraries are ubiquitous. Developers use them for multiple reasons and create them just as they would create application code. This is a problem, though, since on many platforms some additional techniques must be applied even to generate decent code. Even more knowledge is needed to generate optimized code. This paper introduces the required rules and techniques.
