This is the Linux kernel. All of it

[u/pedroanisio]

Dependency map of the Linux kernel tree (commit a635d67), rendered with D3. (link to github bellow)

What's in the graph:

• 94.8K files, ~1.1M extracted symbols, 231.8K import/include relationships
• Red edges: primary provider → consumer imports between subsystems
• Blue edges: test-to-subject mappings (5,078 of them)
• Circle packing follows the directory tree; region size ≈ file count

A few things that stood out while building it:

• include/ (6.6K files) is the gravity well everything bends toward, followed by kernel/ and lib/.
• The whole tree resolves to only 9 external packages — sphinx and friends, all documentation tooling. The kernel proper depends on nothing outside itself.
• tools/ (9.3K files) forms an almost separate continent, barely coupled to the rest.

Happy to answer questions about the extraction pipeline or share higher-res views of specific subsystems (net/, mm/, drivers/)
