General Infrastructure

• Kernel.org (mirrors) (Europe) (North-America) (South-America) (Asia)
• Mailinglist Archive (FAQ) (alternative Mailinglist archive)
• Other Linux related Mailinglist archives
• Linux BitKeeper Logs (Non-free distributed source management system which some Linux developers use) (Darcs based Linux repository)
• LinuxKernelConf (Experimental Linux configuration format and interface library)
• Kbuild (Experimental Linux build tool) (//www [dot] mail-archive [dot] com/kbuild-devel [at] lists [dot] sourceforge [dot] net/">ml)
• Kernel Bug Tracker (Bugzilla based bug-tracking system)
• OSDL projects (Portal for projects supported by the OSDL non-profit organization)
• Tiny Tree (Collection of Linux patches to reduce its memory and disk footprint, as well as to add features to aid working on small systems.)
• LinuxCXX (Linux patch to allow support for C++ code)

Test Projects and Tools

• LTP ("Linux Test Project". Test suites for the Linux kernel.) (cvs) (ml)
• LSE ("Linux Scalability Effort". Collection of Linux kernel scalability related tools and tests.) (cvs) (ml)
• STP ("Scalable Test Platform". Automated test system for user submitted kernel patches.) (cvs) (ml)
• WOLK ("Working Overloaded Linux Kernel". FOLK inspired patch collection for stable Linux 2.4 versions) (ml)

Tracing and Profiling Tools

• LTT ("Linux Trace Toolkit". Kernel patch and user-space tool to trace kernel events.) (supported trace points)
• LKST ("Linux Kernel State Tracer". Kernel patch and user-space tool to trace Linux kernel events.) (ml)
• OProfile (Linux 2.4 kernel profiler for x86 compatible systems.) (2.6 patches) (cvs) (ml)
• Prospect (OProfile based tool to gather a detailed statistical profile of all processes running on a system) (cvs) (ml)
• NPTL Tests and Trace (NPTL improvement project) (forum )

Debugging Tools

• DProbes (Linux kernel debugging tool which uses software 'probes') (cvs) (ml)
• Smatch (Experiment in finding Linux bugs using a GCC compiler patch to get more compile information, and a collection of Perl tools to analyze this information.) (cvs) (ml)

Kernel Crash Dump Tools

• LKCD ("Linux Kernel Crash Dump". Kernel-patch and user-space tool which helps detect, save and examine a system crash.) (cvs) (ml)
• mkdump ("Mini Kernel Dump". Small kernel-crash-dump tool which operates separately from the resources of the crashed kernel, too improve reliability.) (ml)
