Development [Kernel][08.06.2022][Android 12.1.0]Kirisakura 3.0.1 for Pixel 6/Pro aka "RAVIOLE"

Fair enough, thought that was maybe why you posted it in the kernel thread...
I tried to install the update a few hours ago and went to bootloop
Do you mean you went into a bootloop when you updated Magisk to 24304 or when you tried to install this kernel after updating Magisk?
If the former, there are some mods that may make you bootloop with 24304. AML is one of them is appears.
If the latter, no, this kernel (12L version 1.8.9) still does not appear to be working with Canary 24304. Just tested.
Crazy this worked for me too lol but question does this mean we can flash custom kernel with latest canary magisk or should we use stable magisk for now to root/flash a custom kernel with a12L/a13? Thanks i
even stable magisk has issues.
I had not booting issue on magisk sable.
we need to stay on 24102 otherwise it will show corrupt and not boot
I had not booting issue on magisk sable.
we need to stay on 24102 otherwise it will show corrupt and not boot
Yup that's what i was gonna do anyways lol thanks, but hopefully this can be resolved soon from all resources
I think the corruption issue is more related to vbmeta/verity. I have verity and verification disabled and have had no corruption issues throughout. Currently on Canary 24304.
yeah I was more worried about phone not booting as thats what happened to me
Like i said earlier. Something is borked unfortunately if the device is corrupted scenario happens.
I don't know what exactly, as I'm able to flash kernels on 23403 just fine. I never saw a corruption message on my phone running stable a12 since I got the phone. I kept verity disabled since I got the phone. Based from user reports i have no idea what actually triggers the corruption message to show.
I think it's related to keeping verity enabled and something going wrong, but i have no idea exactly.
Yes, those scenarios should be treated as separate issues as one exists for a long time now. As things usually go everything gets mixed up and there's a lot of chaos now.
Unfortunately I don't have the corruption issue myself, but at least there's a good workaround now that doesn't involve wiping.
I'm not on a12l myself and if the community wants the issue to be fixed, someone needs to take proper logs on a12l when flashing the anykernel zips via the file managers, vs just patching boot.imgs with also taking proper logs while patching, alongside full dumps of the changed partitions. This needs to be posted to magisk GitHub as an issue and I'm sure it will be looked into then by either topjohnwu or one of the other magisk contributors.
March update live, don't know if there's any kernel updates that weren't public already

There´s no kernel source yet for stable march 12.1.0, which dropped a few hours ago. They probably push it during night in my timezone. Not going to bother waiting.
It´s best to wait for me until I release an update once I the new source is uploaded and I was able to compile an update so you can be sure there are no issues.
Since I´m a bit impatient, I downgraded to stable magisk 24300 and was able to boot the A12L builds from the linked post on march stable update. So far no issues. Make sure you´re not on canary 24303 or later!
If you feel comfortable and don´t want to miss out on any features (sweep to sleep is in my muscle memory), at least it´s booting fine

Hey, how do you downgrade from canary to stable Magisk? I just switched back to the stable channel in the Magisk app but I'm sure there's more to do, right?Since I´m a bit impatient, I downgraded to stable magisk 24300 and was able to boot the A12L builds from the linked post on march stable update. So far no issues. Make sure you´re not on canary 24303 or later!
If you feel comfortable and don´t want to miss out on any features (sweep to sleep is in my muscle memory), at least it´s booting fine
I uninstalled magisk app, reinstalled older magisk app, repatched boot.img, flashed repatched boot.img via fastboot. (if you're running a custom kernel you need to reflash completely to stock, by following the guide from the FAQ, before flashing "only" stock boot.img)

34Update to 3.0.0
Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s the next update and it´s a very big one that´s why I decided to bump the kernel version to 3.0.0.
I decided to rebase the kernel ahead of time. The base kernel is now build upon the Android 13 branch, but made to work on A12 by reverting a few changes that depend on too much firmware updates outside the kernel. That will also ease the transition for me once A13 stable is dropped.
Thanks to the way the kernel is build the GKI way, the rest of the device specific drivers could be adjusted to work on A12 as well.
There are quite a few improvements overall on the A13 branch and now we can take advantage of them before A13 drops as stable. Please note this kernel is made to work on A12 stable June firmware, not A13 beta.
Thanks to @capntrips and all his hard work on hashtree patcher, there should be no problems flashing the updated kernel.zip on latest magisk canary (which some users may want to use to fix certain apps otherwise detection root) while leaving the verity/verification flags enabled when updating the phone as it´s integrated in the kernel.zip now. A huge thanks to @capntrips at this point.
I will also stop distributing the files for the manual install as flashing via @capntrips kernel flasher app, which can be found here, is open source and free, works perfectly fine for me and that spares me a lot of work for each release.
Now to the actual kernel changes:
The kernel was rebased on the A13 branch for the Pixel 6 Pro but made to work on A12, which brings a lot of improvements all around.
There´s a PMU limiting feature introduced in the A13 kernel. It was imported in the previous 2.4.0 release too and configured to try to reduce heat, reduce the usage of high cpu freqs when it isn´t needed. The explanation can be found in the release post of 2.4.0.
I went ahead and refined the implementation and usage of that feature again.
Short explanation: The PMU limiter can cut back max cpu freq if the PMU (performance monitoring unit) doesn´t cross a certain threshold. If that threshold is crossed the limit is lifted and the phone is allowed to use peak performance.
While the previous approach restricted the cores just to a single limit of 1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ/2,4GHZ (for little/mid/big cores), the new approach restricts to different limits based on interaction and scenario what´s happening.
That means there are different limits and thresholds for app launches, interaction (tapping the screen, scrolling), display idle (no movement on screen content, nothing interactions with the display, no tapping the screen etc).
If none of the conditions below are met the limits are 1,19GHZ/1,32GHZ/1,42GHZ (for little/mid/big cores) if the performance threshold is not crossed.
During app launches we keep the limit of 1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ/2,4GHZ (for little/mid/big cores) if the performance threshold is not crossed. (that´s useful to not boost too much if an app is already in memory)
During scrolling limits of 1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ/1,8GHZ (for little/mid/big cores) will be set. The reason for that I will explain later.
During idle screen limits of 1,19GHZ/1,0GHZ/1,1GHZ (for little/mid/big cores) will be set if the threshold is not crossed.
If the device really needs max perf, the limits will be crossed and it will also perform to its max. The performance impact by the PMU limiter is minimal to negligible/non-existent.
Uclamp value of top-app tasks, rt-tasks and sf-tasks are raised during interaction. This improves scrolling performance as it biases tasks to start on a mid or big CPU rather than a small one. By restricting the maxfreq of mid and big cores via the PMU limiter during scrolling/interaction we do not generate additional heat by doing that. The threshold was specifically tuned by doing a lot of tracing to achieve not crossing the PMU limit during scrolling. For example gmail scrolls a lot smoother now. Some apps like twitter just need to fix scrolling on their own end.
BFQ improvements from linux-main were backported.
Scheduler updates for pelt, load, tasks placement were backported from linux-main.
LRNG was bumped to V45.
An improved energy model for thermal control is used.
And a huge bunch of additional changes.
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.
Changelog:
- Rebase kernel on A13 branch and make it work on A12
- preserve all previous features and improvments
- Linux-stable merged to 5.10.120
- Use prebuilt Google Clang 14.0.7 for compilation
- Scheduler improvements from latest linux kernel
- BFQ improvements from latestlinux kernel
- LRNG bumped to V45
- use improved energy model for exynos cpu cooling/thermal control
- MGLRU changes and updates
- affine IRQS to CPU 7 during camera usage for improved performance as it tends to overload the little cores
- allow GPU to scale down to 150mhz, but boost to higher value in case of interaction via powerhal
- safetynet issues some users were experiencing while running 2.4.0 official release, but fixed later via the release here are solved and gone (if your app does not work due to root on stock kernel, the same will be the case here)
- updated anykernel3.zip (thanks to @osm0sis) -> allow flashing using latest canary with enabled vbmeta flags ( huge thanks to @capntrips )
- loads of other changes, please check github

If you´re coming from another kernel restore stock boot.img, dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img and vendor_dlkm.img before flashing. Thank you.
I wish everybody a great day/evening!
Have fun, enjoy the kernel and your phone.

If you like my work and want to buy me a coffee/green tea: http://paypal.me/freak0720I assume the touchscreen will need the updated drivers that were needed for QPR beta builds before.
It´s getting late here and usually google is pushing the source somewhere during nighttime in my timezone. I´ll try to get the kernel updated as soon as possible once I know it´s stable.
I wish everybody a great day/evening.20Update to 3.0.1
Hey guys and girls,
Alright here´s a hotfix for 3.0.0 which had broken netflix, amazon prime video, HBO and other streaming apps playback that relies on a trusted secure connection to establish playback. (thanks to @Gungrave223 for the report)
The A12 hal is not yet ready for some driver changes introduced in the A13 kernel base. Those changes were identified and reverted. Thanks to @TotallyAnxious for providing me the logs via PM.
Playback for those services works fine again on 3.0.1.
Seems like during testing for just a little bit over the last two weeks no time was found to watch a single stream on the phone and that little bug slipped through.
I´ll include the changelog for 3.0.0 again in this post in hide tags as I´m sure not everyone has yet upgraded and that post contains a lot of vital info.
The original release post for 3.0.0 can be found following this link.
I wish everyone a nice day.

If you like my work and want to buy me a coffee/green tea: http://paypal.me/freak0716Hello everyone,
I just found a very small oversight regarding the powerhal, which I corrected in the kernel.zip now. The kernel itself hasn´t changed.
I re-uploaded the zips for 3.0.0. If you flashed them already prior to this post, feel free to reflash. It probably won´t hurt, that much to run the old zip, but it´s better to flash the new one. Just flash over 3.0.0 if you´re already running it.
You can grab the updated 3.0.0 zips from the release post by following this link.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. I wish everyone a great day.10Hey man I just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this legit kernel. I know a lot of people just come here with issues but I just wanted to thank you. -
100Kirisakura-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:

- 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, more information here)
- 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

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)
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)
2. Flash the correct kernel.zip via EXKM, FKM or kernel flasher. 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 is no longer supported starting with release 3.0.0, as there´s a free open-source option to flash kernel.zips now.
Instead use the free kernel flasher, which can be found here.
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.
Download is below.
Updated instructions in the OP!
Changelog:
- linux-stable 5.10.103
- contains fix for the dirty pipe exploit
- built with clang 14.0.2 prebuilt by google
- improvments from kernel/common
- fix memory leaks
- security related patches
- mm improvments
- f2fs fixes
- scheduler fixes
- for details please check github
- built with improvements from A13 Dev Preview to display driver
- other changes please look at my github

If you´re coming from another kernel restore stock boot.img, dtbo.img, vendor_boot.img and vendor_dlkm.img before flashing. Thank you.37Update to 1.7.0
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.
Download is below.

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

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.
