The BSDs are far more approachable, and I recommend starting there for anyone interested in kernel development.

There are books, such as The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System (by McKusick): http://www.amazon.com/Design-Implementation-FreeBSD-Operatin...

There are papers, such as Jonathan Lemon's "Kqueue: A generic and scalable event notification facility" presented at Usenix 2001: http://people.freebsd.org/~jlemon/papers/kqueue.pdf

There are kernel interface man pages:

There are examples referenced by the man pages:
