[rachanta]

This development of RACER KERNEL for Pixel is suspended for a while. I should start after Chainfire comes up with a good root solution for O with Pixel.

@MikeChannon the job is done. Thank you for your patience.

This is my base kernel for now It has O Preview 1 code (which has 7.1.2_MR2.1 merged in) + Linux 3.18.36 to 3.18.49
Do please let me know how it works for you.

@rohitece06:
You can try magisk and let me know. Kernel is stable and stock. I haven't done anything specific about safety net, so no. I am new to Pixel. Pl point me to safetynet patches if possible.

I installed it on pixeldust rom and it broke the rom. dialer app disappeared. hangout stopped working. android auto started to force close.

I dont know how to patch a kernel for safetynet

It runs fine with stock o preview. Its my daily driver. I'll see what pixeldust ROM is and figure out if it can be supported.

FYI kernel boots fine for me on 7.1.2 stock. Nice job!

Tool Chain: GCC-Linaro-6.3.1-2017.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu
OS Used to build : Ubuntu 17.04

Edit: Link refreshed with new build. I had two random reboots in quick succession after running for a while. Code simplified further. (c-picks trimmed from franco to flar level)

I have limited use with this kernel but my immediate impression is good. Apps and transitions seem to be a touch quicker. Everything is very smooth. Thanks for your work!

Do let me know if you have reboots. MR2 has some scheduler commits, most of which I have excluded. I have kept scheduler largely at mr1-eas level in latest build. I am trying my best to cause stress to the phone and induce a reboot.

I havnt seen anything negative yet. Will let you know. Are you trying to stress your phone in test builds or trying to stress any phone with the newest release??

Still have random reboots

Still have random reboots

An log or during which activity? I had a huge problem of data corruption and had to wipe the phone trying out a modded thermal conf, but none in normal use.
