Certification For Linux Device Driver Programming
Hi All,
I'm looking for role change to Linux device Driver developer. My current role has no connection to Linux Device driver development and hence to support my stand i want to do a certification for the same.
I have googled but couldn't found any standard certification. I have submitted some patches to Linux community and have got myself listed as contributor for linux kernel 3.12.
Please tell me if there are any standard certification for the same and how much would it cost (any reference link) or is there anyother way which can support my stand for this role.

default_type
default_type(5) SELinux configuration default_type(5)
NAME
default_type - The SELinux default type configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The default_type file contains entries that allow SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) to select a default type for a role if one
is not supplied.
selinux_default_type_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default, default type file is:
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_type
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
get_default_type(3) reads this file to determine a type for the active policy.
FILE FORMAT
Each line within the default_type file is formatted with role:type entries where:
role
The SELinux role.
type
The domain type that is returned for this role.
EXAMPLE
# ./contexts/default_type
auditadm_r:auditadm_t
user_r:user_t
