## Features

1. Kernel-based `su` and root access management.

2. Module system based on dynamic mount system [Magic Mount](https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/details.html#magic-mount) / [OverlayFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverlayFS).

3. [App Profile](https://kernelsu.org/guide/app-profile.html): Lock up the root power in a cage.

## Compatibility State

KernelSU Next officially supports most Android kernels starting from 4.4 up to 6.6.

 - GKI 2.0 (5.10+) kernels can run pre-built images and LKM/KMI.

 - GKI 1.0 (4.19 - 5.4) kernels need to rebuilt with KernelSU driver.

 - EOL (<4.14) kernels also need to be rebuilt with KernelSU driver (3.18+ is experimental and may need some function backports).

Currently, only `arm64-v8a` is supported.
