The official site for getting kernel source can be found at http://www.kernel.org.
Many mirror sites are also available all over the world.
A valuable search engine for the Linux 2.4 source code is available at http://www.tamacom.com/tour/linux/.
All distributions of the GNU C compiler should include full
documentation for all its features, stored in several info files that
can be read with the Emacs program or an info reader. By the way, the
information on Extended Inline Assembly is quite hard to follow,
since it does not refer to any specific architecture. Some pertinent
information about 80 × 86 GCC’s Inline
Assembly and gas
, the GNU assembler invoked by
GCC, can be found at:

The web site (http://www.tldp.org) contains the home page of the Linux Documentation Project, which, in turn, includes several interesting references to guides, FAQs, and HOWTOs.
The newsgroup comp.os.linux.development.system is dedicated to discussions about development of the Linux system.
This fascinating mailing list contains much noise as well as a few pertinent comments about the current development version of Linux and about the rationale for including or not including in the kernel some proposals for changes. It is a living laboratory of new ideas that are taking shape. The name of the mailing list is [email protected].
Authored by David A. Rusling, this 200-page book can be viewed at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html, and describes some fundamental aspects of the Linux 2.0 kernel.
The page at http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/vfs.txt is an introduction to the Linux Virtual File System. The author is Richard Gooch.
