The previous [part](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/SysCall/syscall-4.html) was a list part of the chapter that describes [system call](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_call) concept and now time is to start new chapter. As you can understand from the post's title, this chapter will be devoted to the `timers` and `time management` in the Linux kernel. The choice of topic for the current chapter is not accidental. Timers and generally time management are very important and widely used in the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel uses timers for various tasks, different timeouts for example in [TCP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol) implementation, the kernel must know current time, scheduling asynchronous functions, next event interrupt scheduling and many many more. -So, we will start to learn implementation of the different time management related stuff in this part. We will see different types of timers and how do different Linux kernel subsystems use them. As always we will start from the earliest part of the Linux kernel and will go through initialization process of the Linux kernel. We already did it in the special [chapter](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/Initialization/index.html) which describes initialization process of the Linux kernel, but as you may remember we missied some things there. And one of them is the initialization of timers. +So, we will start to learn implementation of the different time management related stuff in this part.
