Documentation/kernel-docs.txt: Add 4 paper/book references
Background/Reasoning: Books: ------ * Linux Kernel Networking by Rami Rosen While some parts are quite short and could be more carefully explained it's still a good recomendation for understanding linux kernel networking, (IMHO) * Linux Treiber entwickeln: It sure is a drawback that this is a german book. But it's quite recent, well structured and there are also other non-english (spanish) books/papers in this list. Papers: ------- * On Submitting kernel Patches Contains 2 case studies of bigger patch sets and how (or how not) they were merged. I found it helpful * Tracing the Way of Data in a TCP Connection through the Linux Kernel Since this was written by me this inclusion may be a bit biased :p Neitherless I think this gives a good introduction on understanding/exploring linux internals using ftrace and an overview of Linux TCP internals. [mchehab@s-opensource.com: rebased to apply before rename] Signed-off-by: Richard Sailer <richard@weltraumpflege.org> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

+ :Description: A seminar paper explaining ftrace and how to use it for
+ understanding linux kernel internals,
+ illustrated at tracing the way of a TCP packet through the kernel.
+ :Abstract: *This short paper outlines the usage of ftrace a tracing framework
+ as a tool to understand a running Linux system.
+ Having obtained a trace-log a kernel hacker can read and understand
+ source code more determined and with context.
+ In a detailed example this approach is demonstrated in tracing
+ and the way of data in a TCP Connection through the kernel.
+ Finally this trace-log is used as base for more a exact conceptual
+ exploration and description of the Linux TCP/IP implementation.*
