Baby Steps to Kernel Hacking

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Covers practical, A–Z steps for beginners to start contributing to the Linux kernel: setting up a kernel development environment, using version control to create a sample patch, and sending that patch to the appropriate maintainers. Emphasizes good patch practices and common coding-convention mistakes that cause rejections, and points to starter areas in kernel subsystems and tools such as checkpatch.pl to find style issues or TODOs.
