Linux source folder structure rendering

1.arch folders:-related to the code stored on different platforms, each platform is differentiated by different folders.

Alpha Platform

ARM Platform

ARV32 Platform

X86 Platform

2.drivers folder: The folder where the driver is stored. Different drivers are differentiated by different folders.

Ftape: Tape Drive

3.fs folder: Store the relevant code for all the file systems supported by Linux, and different file systems are differentiated by different folders.

Ext2:linux supported Ext2 File system

NFS: A Network File system

Proc:/proc File System

A file system for Ufs:linux

4. Other folders

1). Include folder: Most of the header files that are required to compile the kernel are stored. In the Include/linux folder, the header files that are stored are platform-independent. Platform-related storage in different folders of the relevant platform.

2). Init folder: The initialization code that holds the kernel, including the system-initiated main () function.

3). IPC folder: Related code that holds interprocess communication

4). Kernel folder: Store the most core code, manage the kernel's related code, such as process scheduling, memory management, etc.

5). lib Folder: Store Library Module code

6). mm Folder: Storage of CPU-independent memory management code, for different platform code with different folders to distinguish.

7). Net Folder: Code that holds various network protocols

8). Scripts folder: The relevant script file that holds the configuration kernel

9). Security folder: A SELinux (a mandatory access control system for the Linux kernel) module

). Sound folder: Frequently used audio device drivers

one). usr folder: A cpio (Cpio is a utility for creating and restoring backup files. It can add, unlock files in the Cpio or tar backup file. ）

). Block folder: Block device driver.

). Crypto folder: Frequently used encryption and compression algorithms.

14). Documentation folder: The explanation document for the kernel part function.

15). Copying file: GPL copyright notice file.

16). Credits file: Kernel developer list

17). Kbuild files: Scripts to compile the kernel

18). maintainers file: List of maintenance personnel

19). Makefile file: The first makefile file, the organization core for each module, the contact between the modules, the compiler compiles the kernel according to this file.
