The Linux kernel user's and administrator's guide
=================================================
The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been
added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or
organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent
document! With luck things will improve quickly over time.
This initial section contains overall information, including the README
file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters,
etc.

This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to
application developers. Documents covering various aspects of the kernel
ABI will be found here.

sysfs-rules
This is the beginning of a section with information of interest to
application developers and system integrators doing analysis of the
Linux kernel for safety critical applications. Documents supporting
analysis of kernel interactions with applications, and key kernel
subsystems expectations will be found here.

workload-tracing
The rest of this manual consists of various unordered guides on how to
configure specific aspects of kernel behavior to your liking.
