The Linux Kernel sources have a Documentation tree that documents many
aspects and features of the kernel. There may be a kernel-doc package you
can install that should put that documentation right onto your system in
/usr/share/doc/kernel/.
Do note: reading the docs about /proc and /sys (procfs and sysfs
respectively) may give ideas - write those ideas down if you decide to try
them out so you have a record of what you might have done on the system.
It can be relatively easy to unintentionally cause bad performance by
poking around with those settings.
Happy learning!
