conceptual map of the kernel source (Interactive Linux kernel map)

conceptual map of the kernel source (Interactive Linux kernel map)

[Constantine Shulyupin]

Hi,
I am updating the kernel map: http://www.makelinux.net/kernel_map
It is conceptual map consisting of more than 200 most important kernel
functions.
Could you please have a look and suggest fixes and updates.

I was very impressed once I saw this map first, which was through
your (?) contributions to the Linux entries in Wikipedia. Keep up the
good work!

The embedded systems will be interested in most things not
asm-i386 and arch-i386. For example you show a lot of PCI
and such things in the lowest layers, I wonder if it'd be worth
the effort to make arch-specific views of the lowermost parts
(but probably not).

Another this is that flash drivers MTD, doesn't fit into the picture,
instead harddisk is uses as example.

Thank you for idea.
I wish to make map of embeedded Linux in future.
Now I focus on "generic" kernel.
