この記事を書くモチベーション

Linuxの勉強をしたくなったので、まずはLinux Kernelのソースコードリーディング環境を整えます。

環境

手元にあったLinuxを使います。AWSのAmazon Linuxです。
カーネルのバージョンは、4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64 でした。

やったこと

カーネルソースのダウンロードと展開

$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.9.93-41.60.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-4.9.76-3.78.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-tools-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-4.9.93-41.60.amzn1.x86_64
kernel-headers-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64
$
$ uname -a
Linux ip-172-21-0-185 4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 10 19:17:29 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

kernel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.x86_64 のソースをダウンロードすることにします。Amazon Linuxはyumが使えるので、yumdownloaderを使用します。

$ sudo yumdownloader --source kernel kernel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1

ダウンロードした kernel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.src.rpm は、rpm2cpio でcpioにしてから展開、または、rpmコマンドでインストールします。今回はrpm2cpioにしました。

$ sudo sh -c "rpm2cpio kernel-4.9.119-44.140.amzn1.src.rpm | cpio -id"

展開したらこんな感じです。
