Developing the Linux Kernel module
Summary
Even 72% of the Linux kernel source code are modules, so your chances of hitting an issue or needing a new feature from the kernel is very likely to be involving a module. Besides learning you how to write a basic kernel module, this workshop will also show how to properly communicate with other kernel developers, how to easily test and debug your kernel using qemu, debugging real hardware, and the silver bullet: how to use git-bisect and patch your module to a different version so it works on your current kernel. Get ready to fork your Linux kernel.
