AI summary
Kernel-based root solution for Android with systemless module support and per-app root access controls. This build adds experimental LKM support for kernels 5.10–6.12, removes kprobes dependency for branch link hooking, and optimizes kernel symbol scanning from 18 seconds to under 0.5 seconds. Caution: recent kernels may cause kernel panics on x86_64.

About this app
A kernel-based root solution for Android devices.
Features
1. Kernel-based su and root access management. 2. Module system based on metamodules: Pluggable infrastructure for systemless modifications. 3. App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.
Compatibility state
KernelSU officially supports Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels (4.14+) are also supported, but the kernel will need to be built manually.
With this, WSA, ChromeOS, and container-based Android are all supported.
Currently, the arm64-v8a and x86_64 architectures are supported.
⛔ Caution
Recent kernel versions have implemented a breaking change causing KernelSU to fail and potentially trigger a kernel panic on x86_64! Check the website for more info!

What's new
experimental LKM support added verified on 5.10 ~ 6.12 4.19/5.4 also ok, but bring your own lkm fixes 32-on-64 adb_root massively reworked branch link hooking w/ ksym bruteforcer branch link hooking no longer needs kprobes branch link hooking should now work on GCC LTO (e.g. Sultan's) smaller stubs on branch link (now on naked traps) re-optimized ksym scan from 18s to sub-0.5s reworked slow_avc_audit hook (overloading on C demo)
