Hook method

1. KPROBES hook
2. Manual hook (For GKI: Use #ifdef CONFIG_KSU_MANUAL_HOOK instead of #ifdef CONFIG_KSU for guard certain kernelsu hook)

Features

1. Kernel-based su and root access management.
2. Module system based on 5ec1cff's Magic Mount API on KernelSU
3. App Profile: Lock up the root power in a cage.
4. Bringing back non-GKI/GKI 1.0 support

Compatibility State

KernelSU (before v1.0.0) officially supports Android GKI 2.0 devices (kernel 5.10+). Older kernels (4.14+) are also compatible, but the kernel will have to be built manually.

With this, WSA, ChromeOS, and container-based Android are all supported.

Currently, only arm64-v8a are supported.
