Summary


This chapter explored the process of compiling and linking and the structure of object files to understand how we end up with code that can be executed. We also looked at the infrastructure surrounding the kernel build system and how the structure of the source code is tied to the build system itself. We gave a cursory glance at how the functional breakdown of the source code is tied to the kernel subsystems we have seen in previous chapters.
