A Kernel-based root solution for Android devices.

1. Kernel-based su and root access management.
2. Module system based on OverlayFS.
3. App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.

KernelSU officially supports Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels (4.14+) are also compatible, but the kernel will have to be built manually.

With this, WSA, ChromeOS, and container-based Android are all supported.

Currently, only arm64-v8a and x86_64 are supported.
