Do you know any GOOD books for Assembly for Linux?

(1/3) > >>

Bazoukas:
I looked at Amazon.com and these came up.

Assembly Language Step-by-step: Programming with DOS and Linux  

Linux Assembly Language Programming (Prentice Hall Open Source Technology)


 I have the first one, but its more for windows. I dont have time for that shit. Only the last 3 chapters are for Linux.

The second one has very shady reviews.

Bazoukas:
nobody?
I am looking and looking but nothing.

Does this mean that no one even bothers with Assembly?
 Am I that much of a retard?

voidmain:
Well, assembly pretty much ties you to one processor so it is used very rarely in UNIX.  You can find some snippets of assembly in the kernel source tree but most everything is done in C.  In C you can write very portable code.  In assembly you have to pretty much rewrite the code for each processor you intend to run the code on (x86, PPC, Sparc, etc).

Bazoukas:
Thank you VoidMan.

 you might help me with a question I have.

My wish is to learn the inside out of Linux. I am talking about what makes it clik and tick. To establish an extreme know how.

  Since C-C++ are high level languages (btw I am studying c++), I thought that by learning Linux Assembly will guide me to the core of the OSs and its Hardware components.

   Is this worth the time and the effort. One thing is for sure I am VERY intresting in learning.

Bazoukas:
oh and i am following the right path to do this?
