Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide was initially authored by Ori Pomerantz for the Linux v2.2 operating system. As the Linux kernel underwent further development, Ori’s capacity to maintain the document was increasingly constrained. Consequently, Peter Jay Salzman assumed the role of maintainer and undertook the task of updating the guide for Linux v2.4. Similar constraints arose for Peter when tracking developments in Linux v2.6, which led to Michael Burian joining as a co-maintainer with the objective of bringing the guide up to speed with Linux v2.6. Bob Mottram contributed to the guide by updating examples for Linux v3.8 and later. Jim Huang then undertook the task of updating the guide for recent Linux versions (v5.0 and beyond), along with revising the LaTeX document.
