There is a book on the Linux kernel. It is for the version 2 kernel
but it's probably worth reading.

The title (there may even be more than one) is ``Linux Kernel
Internals''.

Actually, I'm sure there is another one but I cannot remember
the name. I think this one is more detailed though.

You can get more details at amazon.com.
