Solaris Internals: Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris Kernel Architecture, 2/e (Hardcover)

Description

"The Solaris™Internals volumes are simply the best and most comprehensive treatment of the Solaris (and OpenSolaris) Operating Environment. Any person using Solaris--in any capacity--would be remiss not to include these two new volumes in their personal library. With advanced observability tools in Solaris (likeDTrace), you will more often find yourself in what was previously unchartable territory. Solaris™ Internals,Second Edition, provides us a fantastic means to be able to quickly understand these systems and further explore the Solaris architecture--especially when coupled with OpenSolaris source availability."

--Jarod Jenson, chief systems architect, Aeysis

"The Solaris™ Internals volumes by Jim Mauro and Richard McDougall must be on your bookshelf if you are interested in in-depth knowledge of Solaris operating system internals and architecture. As a senior Unix engineer for many years, I found the first edition of Solaris™ Internals the only fully comprehensive source for kernel developers, systems programmers, and systems administrators. The new second edition, with the companion performance and debugging book, is an indispensable reference set, containing many useful and practical explanations of Solaris and its underlying subsystems, including tools and methods for observing and analyzing any system running Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris."

--Marc Strahl, senior UNIX engineer

Solaris™ Internals, Second Edition, describes the algorithms and data structures of all the major subsystems in the Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris kernels. The text has been extensively revised since the first edition, with more than 600 pages of new material. Integrated Solaris tools and utilities, including DTrace, MDB, kstat, and the process tools, are used throughout to illustrate how the reader can observe the Solaris kernel in action. The companion volume, Solaris™ Performance and Tools, extends the examples contained here, and expands the scope to performance and behavior analysis. Coverage includes:

• Virtual and physical memory
• Processes, threads, and scheduling
• File system framework and UFS implementation
• Networking: TCP/IP implementation
• Resource management facilities and zones

The Solaris™ Internals volumes make a superb reference for anyone using Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris.

「描述」
「Solaris™ Internals」系列是對Solaris（和OpenSolaris）操作環境最好且最全面的著作。任何使用Solaris的人都應該將這兩本新書納入個人圖書館，無論在任何能力下使用Solaris。在Solaris中，擁有高級的可觀察性工具（如DTrace），你會更常發現自己進入以前無法探索的領域。「Solaris™ Internals, Second Edition」為我們提供了一個快速理解這些系統並進一步探索Solaris架構的絕佳途徑，尤其是在與OpenSolaris源代碼可用性相結合的情況下。
- Jarod Jenson，Aeysis首席系統架構師

「Solaris™ Internals」系列由Jim Mauro和Richard McDougall撰寫，如果你對Solaris操作系統的內部和架構有深入的了解，這些書必須放在你的書架上。作為一名資深Unix工程師多年來，我發現第一版的「Solaris™ Internals」是唯一一本全面的內核開發人員、系統程序員和系統管理員的參考資料。新的第二版與附帶的性能和調試書籍一起，是一套不可或缺的參考資料，其中包含了許多有用且實用的Solaris及其底層子系統的解釋，包括觀察和分析運行Solaris 10或OpenSolaris系統的工具和方法。
- Marc Strahl，高級UNIX工程師

「Solaris™ Internals, Second Edition」描述了Solaris 10和OpenSolaris內核中所有主要子系統的算法和數據結構。自第一版以來，本書已進行了廣泛修訂，新增了600多頁的新內容。整本書使用了集成的Solaris工具和實用程序，包括DTrace、MDB、kstat和進程工具，以示範讀者如何觀察Solaris內核的運作。附帶的「Solaris™ Performance and Tools」擴展了這裡所包含的示例，並擴大了性能和行為分析的範圍。內容包括：
- 虛擬和物理內存
- 進程、線程和調度
- 文件系統框架和UFS實現
- 網絡：TCP/IP實現
- 資源管理設施和區域

「Solaris™ Internals」系列對於使用Solaris 10和OpenSolaris的任何人來說都是一個出色的參考資料。
