Abstract
This report presents the concrete, as implemented, software architecture of the Linux kernel. Linux is a UNIX like operating system written by Linus Torvalds. The C language source code for Linux 2.0.30 contains over 800 KLOC and as such is a good candidate for analysis. The architecture was extracted from the source code through a reverse engineering process using the Rigi system from the University of Victoria [10]. The architecture presented provides detailed enough information about the Linux kernel to be useful to someone tasked with maintaining or expanding the kernel. Keywords: Linux Kernel Architecture, Rigi, Reverse Engineering. Report prepared for Computer Science 746G. Software Architecture. Instructor: Ric Holt Contents 1
