We need a second edition of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Linux_Programming_Interfac...

Fully agree, this is a great book.

Also need a 2nd edition of "Professional Linux Kernel Architecture" by Wolgang Mauerer.

I had not heard of this book at all. How does it compare with Robert Love's Linux Kernel Development?

I've not read Love's book, but Maurer's is about 3 times as many pages. I feel like it was the perfect companion book to TLPI since it covers many of the same things but in kernel space.

Purchased a copy of this recently. Definitely recommend, although I'm curious how out of date people think the content is, and how a second edition would improve things.

Does it cover cgroups?

Not outdated at all, but it would be nice to have a new edition with the errata [1] and maybe some additional content. Some sort of anniversary edition.

I would also love an updated edition that includes additional content. The errata is regularly included with updated prints [1][2].
