^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) The need for a document like this one became apparent in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) linux-kernel mailing list as the same questions, asking for pointers

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) Fortunately, as more and more people get to GNU/Linux, more and more

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) enough. It is easy to understand the code, but miss the concepts, the

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 17) Unfortunately, not many documents are available for beginners to

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 78) as a tool to understand a running Linux system.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 79) Having obtained a trace-log a kernel hacker can read and understand
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80) source code more determined and with context.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) In a detailed example this approach is demonstrated in tracing
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) and the way of data in a TCP Connection through the kernel.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) Finally this trace-log is used as base for more a exact conceptual
