Book Description
In the book's introduction, the author describes a three-year personal and professional odyssey that led them deep into the secrets of the Linux kernel, all the way down to the assembly code where the real magic happens. Driven by a desire to understand what truly happens at the heart of the system, they quickly encountered a significant barrier: the state of Linux crash analysis knowledge.
They found the subject to be a classic example of inaccessible expertise, with information scattered across unanswered mail threads and cryptic plain-text documents. This knowledge was seemingly reserved for a tiny percentage of super geeks, while remaining out of reach for most practitioners. As with many advanced technical topics, the information available online was often partial, ambiguous, overly nerdy, or simply did not exist at all. This profound gap in accessible learning materials became the central motivation for writing the book.
