This is a no-frills custom kernel for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL designed to be used with the stock ROM and custom Android 11 ROMs. It's intended to be a simple replacement for the stock kernel that brings several under-the-hood enhancements. This kernel is not meant to be customized by users.
Changelogs for each update can be found in the 2nd post of this thread.

- Built with Dead Code Elimination (DCE) to shrink the kernel's size by removing unused code

- Optimized CPU frequencies and EAS energy model for improved performance and battery life
- WireGuard, a next generation secure VPN tunnel
