This chapter describes the `system call` concept in the linux kernel. You will see here a
couple of posts which describe the full cycle of the kernel loading process:

* [How the Linux kernel handles a system call](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/SysCall/syscall-2.html) - this part describes how the Linux kernel handles a system call from an userspace application.
* [vsyscall and vDSO](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/SysCall/syscall-2.html) - third part describes `vsyscall` and `vDSO` concepts.
