Development [Kernel][03.05.2022][Android 12.1.0][Android 12.1.0 QPR Beta 2] Kirisakura 2.4.0 for Pixel 6/Pro aka "RAVIOLE"
- Thread starter Freak07
- Start date
You got something else going on. The mobile standby should show a time of how long it has been active. Mine does.
The time is not shown because of mobile data turned off. Time is only shown when mobile data is on.
Here so you understand what I am saying, this is the past 24 hr. Notice wifi, mobile network stand by and many others listed with the time below. Doesn't matter if you turn off mobile data or not, it still should have a time it has been using that battery power. There is absolutely no time listed but it's using battery power. That is the goofy part. Only 2 in my system apps list that didn't have a time is android system and os which it shouldn't because that runs all the time no matter what, that is the system running.

First, thanks for your work! Using your kernel on my new and shiny Pixel 6, all works well!nice catch.
yeah by default it should be off on the pixel 6 pro.
I´ll talk to @tbalden , maybe there should be a warning for p6pro.
glad you don´t need to wipe now. every prevented wipe is a good one.
Second, a note on 60Hz lock issue - faced it here as well and decided to dig a bit.
Just checked both CleanSlate Companion and Configuration apps.
Results while installing/uninstalling both:
- both Companion and Configuration installed = 60Hz
- only Companion installed = 60Hz
- only Configuration installed = 90Hz
- both uninstalled = 90Hz
did you switch off the "enable proximity sensor on screen on" option in the companion app?
Yup, it didn't make any difference.
Although, let me try rebooting after applying, I'll reinstall and give it another try.
Oh snap - there isn't such an option in my version of the app (latest beta)... I tried switching the Extra Notification Detection instead. No dice.

That's probably not a kernel's fault. I used to have around 0.4%/hr while idling and suddenly this has risen to 1.5% for the last 5 days or so. I suspect it's the carrier services but even after installing a newer version and clearing data for both carrier services and play services didn't get better.
Do you spoof another model than pixel 6 via magisk props?
Can you try with the non beta app on the CleanSlate thread?
Let's tag @tbalden, he might know best at this point.
Nope, I didn't have to - USNF alone works fine for GPay.
Will try with the version from the thread.

Good find, thank you for the report! It's related to a bug in the pixel6 detection in the app I didn't notice yet... rolling out an update to the play store with a fix. As soon as google approves it, should be available.
If I reset my phone, can I just Magisk the kernel boot.img for root or do I need to flash everything again to have the kernel installed?
If you're talking about a full factory reset, you can't do so without restoring your phone to 100% stock first (flashing the 100% stock official firmware zip). Never perform an official factory reset on a phone running modified software. Always return to 100% stock first. You don't have to re-lock the bootloader, everything just has to be 100% stock.
If you're talking about some other method to just reset the data partition (similar to a custom recovery / TWRP's "factory reset" which is just a wipe of the data partition), then that doesn't restore the stock (unrooted) kernel. Nothing will restore the stock kernel besides flashing the full factory image.

I answered this on page 8. The exact thing you're asking about.

I never read this first, but reset my phone within Settings, and everything seems to be fine.

Some phones and in certain situations factory reset with a modified OS caused problems. Not problems you couldn't usually resolve, but still a headache. You found out it's not a problem on this situation and phone. I wouldn't ever risk it on any phone.

34Update to 2.4.0
Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s the next update and it´s fine to flash on May firmware. As I suspected we already had all the changes for May by merging upstream.
I´ll include the changelog from 2.3.0 as well in this release post, since I think a lot of people flash the kernel on a monthly basis when the security updates drop. So this post pictures the changes going from 2.1.0 to 2.3.0! As I said 2.3.0 was kind of a final rehearsal to make sure everything is good for the May update.
I´ll put a remark behind changes going from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0.
This release is made for stable Android 12.1.0 May firmware. Not QPR Beta or A13 Beta!
Once I find enough time or QPR beta gets updated, I might update the QPR beta release. No plans to support A13 beta.
I also finished up the tables/graphs in regards to different binnings with the respective voltages on different tensor chips thanks to the dmesgs you all provided. I really want to put out a big thanks here to everyone for taking the time and participating. It was really great to see this kind of response.
I´ll provide them in a post in this thread soon.
So with that in mind we´ll get to the next paragraph were I could put those tables to good use.
A few changes from A13 Beta are merged to the kernel so we can enjoy the improvements on A12 ahead of time. Most of them aim to improve the scheduler and task placement.
However the recently dropped A13 Beta source contains a commit that can restrict max-cpufreqs based on PMU (Power monitor unit) reading. I setup this mechanism (lets call it "PMU Limiter") to mildly cut back max-freqs when they aren´t needed. It works quite well so far, with no performance impacts during scenarios where max cpufreq is beneficial. (e.g. app launching, camera launching, interaction etcetc)
That means if a certain threshold is not crossed the max-freqs will be restricted to 1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ/2,4GHZ (for little/mid/big cores). As soon as the PMU detects enough pressure, those limits will be lifted.
The frequency limits are based on tracing during various scenarios, benchmarking and also factor in the voltage table I was able to create. For example: 2.4GHZ for the big cores is the last freq step where a steady linear increase in voltage can be seen. Freq steps higher than 2,4ghz have a steeper slope.
Keep in mind CPU-Freqs shouldn´t be touched in EXKM/FKM or other kernel managers. They are controlled by various mechanisms now (thermal hal, powerhal, pmu limiter etc) and values will get overwritten based on input.
That means if you open the CPU section in a kernel manager, the maxfreqs will not be the actual maxfreqs that are possible. or the minfreqs might be raised. That´s normal and there´s nothing wrong if that´s the case.
Additionally to the previous changes tasks of rt, sf and ta groups are now biased to start on high capacity CPUs during app launches, interactions etc.
As usual, depending on your usage you may or may not notice a difference during these scenarios.
While tracing I noticed kswapd often takes 100% cpu share when reclamation is happening. Since we use an 8 core cpu, an additional kswapd thread is being spawned during boot, which increases throughput for kswapd in these scenarios. Reasoning behind this can be found here.
The trusty driver which connects to the fingerprintreader hal uses now a high prio workqueue when the phone is unlocked via fingerprint scanner. This means better performance, especially under stress. Keep in mind this is a kernel level change, it won´t magically improve fingerprint reader times manifold.
DAMON and DAMON-Reclaim were removed from 2.3.0 going to 2.4.0. I tested the feature privately and it unfortunately collides with googles EH zram implementation causing the phone to crash at the moment. Tried to debug this issue, but no luck for the May release here.
If you previously enabled the feature without adjusting the parameters properly and your phone didn´t crash, DAMON-Reclaim just didn´t do anything.
2.4.0 also has an updated anykernel3.zip, which includes all the latest anykernel3 changes.
Thanks to @capntrips we now have full support to resize vendor_dlkm partition which is part of the super partition. That means we finally can flash larger than stock vendor_dlkm partitions via anykernel3.zips and resize the partition properly instead of just dd´ing to it.
A huge thanks to @capntrips for working on this and to @osm0sis for maintaining anykernel3.
Disclaimer:
I´ll keep the warning as to preferably using magisk stable to avoid potential issues as well here in this post.
Please note that 24306 works fine for me though on non beta, stable May firmware!
Important:
Make sure you´re being rooted with magisk 24300 stable before flashing the kernel if you´re unsure. Any magisk version above 24303 might potentially lead to a reboot back to bootloader since android 12.1.0 and A12L QPR3 Beta. At the moment this only affects canary, but I put the warning just in case this will not get resolved in upstream magisk in time until the next stable drops. I saw a post that some modules also have problems with latest canary, so there´s a lot going on at magisk´s side at the moment.
A post containing a short write-up how to "downgrade" magisk can be found following this link.
If you´re one of the unfortunate ones that suffer from the device is corrupt bug on pixel 6 series please take a look at the FAQ at the beginning of this thread it contains a solution. The issue is probably caused by a bug that affects pixel 6 devices and has nothing to do with magisk or a kernel, it just happens to get triggered when using any of those.

Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s the next update. It´s a major one. I want to put it out shortly before we hopefully receive the next monthly security update on Monday kinda as a final rehearsal.
This kernel is made for stable Android 12.1.0 April firmware. Not QPR Beta or A13 Beta!
Once I find enough time or QPR beta gets updated, I might update the QPR beta release. No plans to support A13 beta.
A few changes from A13 Beta are merged to the kernel so we can enjoy the improvements on A12 already. Most of them aim to improve the scheduler and task placement.
A13 Beta source contains a commit that can restrict max-cpufreqs based on PMU reading. I setup this mechanism to mildly cut back max-freqs when they aren´t needed.

DAMON patch-series is included to this release as it was merged to kernel/common. It includes DAMON-reclaim. You can read more about it here.
This feature is currently disabled by default on this kernel. If you want to use it you can tune it to your liking as per the documentation linked above.
The feature can be enabled via:
I think Google might start to use it in the not so far future, but for now it´s disabled by default.Code:echo 1 > /sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/enabled

If you like my work and want to buy me a coffee/green tea: http://paypal.me/freak0725May update is out.
no source update pushed from google yet. I guess it´ll happen in a few hours when I´ll be asleep.
I went ahead and flashed the latest release for stable 12.1.0 without any issues so far.
If you can´t wait, it should be fine to flash based on that short experience.
If you want to be absolutely sure there will be no issues due to incompatible source/firmware, I´ll try to update the kernel with any new potential changes in the source for May as soon as I find time, which will hopefully/probably be tomorrow if everything goes as expected.
I wish everybody a great day/evening.19
Managed to reproduce the issue. It´s a magisk issue that surfaces probably since 2.0.1 where direct USB access was added and was not kernel related.
To get direct USB access working a firmware file in vendor/firmware is replaced during bootup when my kernel is flashed, which is required for the kernel changes to actually work.
The denylist trick to hide modifications stumbles upon that dir and fails due to a selinux error as denylist is not allowed to access that dir.
As a workaround I fixed that selinux denial and root is no longer being detected by the app.

After flashing the updated zip what I did was hide the magisk app in magisk manager, enable deny list and added the app to the list. Wipe data of the banking app, reboot (not sure if needed but rebooting is always good in these cases) and root was no longer detected by the app.
Attached are zips which include the fix the selinux denial for you to confirm.
This might also fix root detection by other banking apps that are not detecting root on stock kernel, but were broken after flashing the few last releases of this kernel.11A12L QPR Beta Kernel
For those on the A12L QPR Beta 3 here are zips to try. They are only supposed to be flashed on Android 12 QPR Beta!
They should work fine on QPR Beta 3 as source was pushed already, merged and I have confirmation it´s working fine on Beta 3.
That kernel has feature parity with the 2.4.0. So for a detailed changelog please refer to the release post of 2.4.0.
I don´t know what´s the current situation with magisk and flashing kernels on QPR Beta, but it´s probably best to use magisk stable if you don´t want to face issues. (although I have confirmation magisk canary 24307 works fine with verity/verification disabled, don´t know about vbmeta enabled)
I´m not myself on QPR Beta so please leave feedback, but remember:
These zips are provided as is I don´t have time to flash between stable and QPR
Feel free to report issues with proper bug reports (containing logs, steps to reproduce according to the guide linked in the FAQ), but they might remain unresolved if it´s not easy to fix without running A12L Beta on my own end.
I wish everybody a great weekend!
Have fun, enjoy the kernel and your phone.

97Kirisakura-Kernel for the Pixel 6/Pro
Hello everyone,
To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Google Pixel 6 Pro aka Raven and the Pixel 6 aka Oriole, together Raviole.
I would appreciate if everybody that flashes the kernel, reads at least once through this opening post and the following ones.
The kernel aims to keep most of the subsystems updated, way ahead of the stock kernel, thereby improving security, stability and performance!
This includes Linux-Stable, F2FS-Stable and kernel/common!
If that got you curious,have a read about linux-stable and why it is important here. The stable-process is not the same for every subsystem, but the general idea, rule of thumb and benefits are applicable for other subsystems as well.
The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
A big part of improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
A big thanks to all of them at this place!
Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!
Features:
Main Features:
- Based on latest kernel sources from Google, Kernel is made for Android 12
- Linux-Stable-Upstream included to 5.10.113
- Compiled with prebuilt Google clang 14.0.5
- merged kernel/common (improvements to android-common-kernel straight from google)
- Multi-gen LRU backported (more info here, here as well and here) to improve mm and reduce cpu cycles
- Utilize an additional kswapd thread to increase throughput for memory reclaim
- pelt multiplier tied into powerhal to speed up scheduler during interaction (more info here)
- prevent frequency spikes caused by small transient tasks when the device is idle(more info here)
- tie mechanism to prevent frequency spikes caused by small tasks also into powerhal
- scheduler improvements for RT (realtime) tasks
- introduce and setup PMU limiter (prevents CPU from spiking to max when it isn´t needed, based on PMU reads)
- improve camera performance by tuning the powerhal during recording
- bias tasks of rt, sf and ta groups to prefer high capacity cpus during app launches, interactions
- improve app launches via powerhal
- improve trusty driver performance which connects to fingerprintscanner-hal by using high perf wq during fp unlock
- restrict maximum CPU-Freqs during screen off/ idle to 1.1GHZ for all clusters to save power
- introduce unfair f2fs rwsems to prevent writer starvation and improve IO perf under heavy load

- important patches from kernel/common for 5.10 (here are more details)
- CleanSlate Features from @tbalden, big applause here! (s2s, notification booster, battery saver, flashlight notifications. Please note: cleanslate features that work otherwise with rooted devices like kadaway (adblocking) are not implemented on this kernel since I´m running rooted)
- dirty pipe exploit fixed
- supports direct usb access for hi-res playback over USB-C DACs
- flashing the kernel will preserve root
Various Optimizations:

- f2fs: set ioprio of GC kthread to idle
- mm: vmstat: use power efficient workingqueues
Wakelock Blocker:
- advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
- please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
AK3 Helper Module:
- restrict little cluster to 1,19ghz mid cluster to 1,19ghz and big cluster to 1,1ghz during screen off, to reduce battery usage for example during music playback
- tie pelt multiplier into the powerhal (more info here)
- prevent frequency spikes caused by small transient tasks during idle operation (more info here)

Build for Android 12 QPR Beta: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...pixel-6-pro-aka-raviole.4358435/post-86857033
Requirements
- unlocked Bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries
- working adb and fastboot environment so you can flash back to stock in case something goes wrong
- working magisk environment (a device rooted with latest magisk stable in case you want to be absolutely safe, magisk 24303 and higher will bootloop on QPR beta and might act up on stable A12.1.0 too!)
How to flash the Kernel:
1a. Make sure you tick all the requirements above
1. Download the correct kernel.zip depending on your device (Pixel 6 = oriole || Pixel 6 Pro = raven)
(if you´re for whatever reason on November firmware -> use 1.3.0! More recent kernel releases will bootloop)
2. Flash the correct kernel.zip via EXKM or FKM. Root will be preserved. The AK3 magisk helper module will be automatically installed during flashing the kernel.zip and be present on next reboot.
Do not remove or disable the AK3 Magisk Helper Module otherwise the device will bootloop.
3. Reboot and profit.
Manual installation without relying on paid apps like fkm/exkm:

Source Code: https://github.com/freak07/Kirisakura_Raviole37Update to 1.8.4
Hey guys and girls,
So here´s the next update. It´s kind of an off schedule update, as I planned to update the kernel with the next security update/feature drop.
But in the light of recent events regarding the new exploit called "Dirty Pipe" (more info here), which is similar to the "Dirty Cow" exploit from a while ago, but easier to exploit this time, I decided to release an update ahead of schedule.
This exploit was fixed in linux-stable 5.10.102, as opposed to a single commit in AKC (android kernel common, commit here). This shows once more why merging linux-stable is beneficial as explained in detail in the OP.
Since one of the key aspects of this kernel is security and staying on par with upstream (which often fixes exploits way ahead of android security bulletin updates, even before an exploit is even known or fixed via a patch on the security bulletin) I decided to release this update as quickly as possible, so this exploit is fixed on devices running this kernel.
Several other notable improvements and changes in this release:
Bring in scheduler updates from Android 13 Developer Preview, which aim at improving task placement. (adjust powerhal accordingly)
BFQ IO-Sched is now on par with linux-mainline.
Several fixes to mm subsystem, f2fs and others.
Several other improvements are included as well. More details in the changelog.

Hey guys and girls,
So here´s the next update. It includes the february security update. Most of the changes brought by the February kernel source drop, were already included in this kernel by merging kernel/common and linux-stable.
Several other notable improvements and changes in this release:
Improve f2fs performance by merging a patchset to prevent writer starvation for the checkpoint thread. This was discussed this month in the f2fs mailing list and is already merged to the kernel/common tree. It´ll improve performance under heavy I/O utilization.
You can find more information following the discussion here.
Necessary backports were brought to the kernel and the platform specific f2fs-implementation was also adjusted.
Latest f2fs-stable was also merged to the kernel.
Update the patchset to prevent frequency spikes caused by small tasks as well. Tie those new changes into the powerhal. (That means users not flashing the kernel.zip, but instead use the manual installation method, which are only a handful from the download count, need to flash the updated magisk helper module. Users that flash the kernel.zip via FKM/EXKM have to just flash and forget)
Several other improvements are included as well. More details in the changelog.

Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s the next update. And it´s again a really big update!
A few weeks ago google pushed a backport of Multi-Gen LRU for the 5.15 kernel to their aosp/kernel common branches. I went ahead and backported that to our 5.10 tree alongside other mm-improvements from linux-mainline. By now google pushed their own backport for 5.10, but I decided to go with my original implementation as it contains a lot more improvements alongside the main Multi-Gen LRU backport and ran stable for well over 3 weeks.
Powerhal was adjusted quite significantly too. CPU-freqs are restricted to 1.1GHZ max during screen off/device idle operations to save more power. App launches and camera operation are improved as well in the powerhal. General usage benefits from those changes too.
Latest linux-stable, f2fs-stable and kernel/common were merged as well.
Users that decide to not use the CleanSlate features and don´t install the apps won´t see the kernel parsing for the config files extensively.
Vibration Booster from CleanSlate was improved as well to kind of counter the weaker haptic feedback since the March update. Please check the linked thread from the changelog. Huge thanks to @tbalden for this. If you want to give a little bit back consider purchasing the apps via playstore or maybe a small donation.
I´ll keep the warning as to preferably using magisk stable to avoid potential issues as well here in this post.
Please note that 24305 works fine for me though on non beta, stable April firmware!
Important:
Make sure you´re being rooted with magisk 24300 stable before flashing the kernel if you´re unsure. Any magisk version above 24303 might potentially lead to a reboot back to bootloader since android 12.1.0 and A12L QPR3 Beta. At the moment this only affects canary, but I put the warning just in case this will not get resolved in upstream magisk in time until the next stable drops. I saw a post that some modules also have problems with latest canary, so there´s a lot going on at magisk´s side at the moment.
A post containing a short write-up how to "downgrade" magisk can be found following this link.
Changelog:
- Update for April Source
- Linux-stable merged to 5.10.109
- f2fs-stable merged
- fixes and improvements from kernel/common including several subsystems
- multi-gen LRU ( more info here, here as well and here)
- general LRU improvements from Linux-Mainline
- improve camera performance by tuning the powerhal during recording
- improve app launches via powerhal
- restrict maximum CPU-Freqs during screen off/ idle to 1.1GHZ for all clusters to save power
- remove cleanslate config files getting parsed excessively even if user did not install the CleanSlate apps
- improve vibration boosting feature in CleanSlate config app to allow stronger vibration again(please have a look at this post )
- other fixes for CleanSlate features such as sweep to sleep
- updated anykernel 3 zip, thanks to @osm0sis
- probably a lot more I forgot as time is short for me.

Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s the next update and it´s fine to flash on May firmware. As I suspected we already had all the changes for May by merging upstream.
I´ll include the changelog from 2.3.0 as well in this release post, since I think a lot of people flash the kernel on a monthly basis when the security updates drop. So this post pictures the changes going from 2.1.0 to 2.3.0! As I said 2.3.0 was kind of a final rehearsal to make sure everything is good for the May update.
I´ll put a remark behind changes going from 2.3.0 to 2.4.0.
This release is made for stable Android 12.1.0 May firmware. Not QPR Beta or A13 Beta!
Once I find enough time or QPR beta gets updated, I might update the QPR beta release. No plans to support A13 beta.
I also finished up the tables/graphs in regards to different binnings with the respective voltages on different tensor chips thanks to the dmesgs you all provided. I really want to put out a big thanks here to everyone for taking the time and participating. It was really great to see this kind of response.
I´ll provide them in a post in this thread soon.
So with that in mind we´ll get to the next paragraph were I could put those tables to good use.
A few changes from A13 Beta are merged to the kernel so we can enjoy the improvements on A12 ahead of time. Most of them aim to improve the scheduler and task placement.
However the recently dropped A13 Beta source contains a commit that can restrict max-cpufreqs based on PMU (Power monitor unit) reading. I setup this mechanism (lets call it "PMU Limiter") to mildly cut back max-freqs when they aren´t needed. It works quite well so far, with no performance impacts during scenarios where max cpufreq is beneficial. (e.g. app launching, camera launching, interaction etcetc)
That means if a certain threshold is not crossed the max-freqs will be restricted to 1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ/2,4GHZ (for little/mid/big cores). As soon as the PMU detects enough pressure, those limits will be lifted.
The frequency limits are based on tracing during various scenarios, benchmarking and also factor in the voltage table I was able to create. For example: 2.4GHZ for the big cores is the last freq step where a steady linear increase in voltage can be seen. Freq steps higher than 2,4ghz have a steeper slope.
Keep in mind CPU-Freqs shouldn´t be touched in EXKM/FKM or other kernel managers. They are controlled by various mechanisms now (thermal hal, powerhal, pmu limiter etc) and values will get overwritten based on input.
That means if you open the CPU section in a kernel manager, the maxfreqs will not be the actual maxfreqs that are possible. or the minfreqs might be raised. That´s normal and there´s nothing wrong if that´s the case.
Additionally to the previous changes tasks of rt, sf and ta groups are now biased to start on high capacity CPUs during app launches, interactions etc.
As usual, depending on your usage you may or may not notice a difference during these scenarios.
While tracing I noticed kswapd often takes 100% cpu share when reclamation is happening. Since we use an 8 core cpu, an additional kswapd thread is being spawned during boot, which increases throughput for kswapd in these scenarios. Reasoning behind this can be found here.
The trusty driver which connects to the fingerprintreader hal uses now a high prio workqueue when the phone is unlocked via fingerprint scanner. This means better performance, especially under stress. Keep in mind this is a kernel level change, it won´t magically improve fingerprint reader times manifold.
DAMON and DAMON-Reclaim were removed from 2.3.0 going to 2.4.0. I tested the feature privately and it unfortunately collides with googles EH zram implementation causing the phone to crash at the moment. Tried to debug this issue, but no luck for the May release here.
If you previously enabled the feature without adjusting the parameters properly and your phone didn´t crash, DAMON-Reclaim just didn´t do anything.
2.4.0 also has an updated anykernel3.zip, which includes all the latest anykernel3 changes.
Thanks to @capntrips we now have full support to resize vendor_dlkm partition which is part of the super partition. That means we finally can flash larger than stock vendor_dlkm partitions via anykernel3.zips and resize the partition properly instead of just dd´ing to it.
A huge thanks to @capntrips for working on this and to @osm0sis for maintaining anykernel3.
Disclaimer:
I´ll keep the warning as to preferably using magisk stable to avoid potential issues as well here in this post.
Please note that 24306 works fine for me though on non beta, stable May firmware!

If you´re one of the unfortunate ones that suffer from the device is corrupt bug on pixel 6 series please take a look at the FAQ at the beginning of this thread it contains a solution. The issue is probably caused by a bug that affects pixel 6 devices and has nothing to do with magisk or a kernel, it just happens to get triggered when using any of those.
