Unfortunately, XNU is not very well documented (compared to some other
kernels). The documentation should mostly
correspond to the current version of the kernel. Another excellent piece of
documentation is Amit Singh's book on
OS X, which is quite dated, but still remains highly relevant.
XNU directory structure reflects the components of the kernel. For example,
osfmk/ is the mach part, and bsd/
is the BSD part. The above book also maps functionality of the kernel to its
components.
