• Backport Schedutil, DL, RT, CFS schedulers from mainline Linux 6.9 (.pain.)
• New 'Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First (EEVDF)' scheduling algorithm. More info: https://lwn.net/Articles/925371/
• Return an actual resolved CPU frequencies in Schedutil to minimize lock contention on non-fast-switching system. (Google bruh moment)
"In 2017, Google decided to use their decade-old CPUfreq driver with a deprecated CPUfreq target callback that ALWAYS returns unresolved CPU frequencies to Schedutil. This breaks Schedutil logic on non-fast switching CPUfreq drivers, forcing it to ALWAYS create redundant kernel threads queuing for the same mutex lock causing a bottleneck (Lock Contention). As a result, the CPUs cannot change frequencies fast enough to reflect any sudden workload changes. Fix it fr"
• Capacity Aware Superset Scheduler (CASS) by Kerneltoast (Sultan)
• Make CPUset config compliant with CASS logic
• Backport sofirq and threaded NAPI (improve network performance?)
• Disable boosting (Schedtune, CPUfreq, Devfreq)
• WALT and Schedtune cleanups. Place a dummy to keep userspace sane
• Backport thermal pressure and PELT thermal_load_avg. (Scheduler now takes CPU temperature pressure into account)
• CPUidle: disable TEO. uses QCOM governor with WFI only during idle
• CPUidle: Use nanoseconds as the unit of time. (Avoid integer division overhead inside the hottest path in the kernel)
• dtsi: REVERT "Update temperature threshold limits for EA for 8998/660/630" (braindead CAF moment)
• dtsi: Update energy model. Remove inefficient frequencies
• dtsi: change CPU cluster efficiency/idle cost based on "Interrupt storm fixed" freqbench result.
• dtsi: Set new CPUidle latency, timing values reflecting the upstream
• Disable tracing of CPUidle and KGSL driver
• KGSL: Wake GPU upon receiving an ioctl
• ZSTD backport for Zram (default is still LZ4 though)
• Block userspace 'msm_irqbalance' and use Sbalance by Kerneltoast (Sultan).
• Memory management: disable speculative page fault
• Futex, Binder, BPF backport

Notes:
• Android 14 release. For Android 13 and below, choose Repartitioned or Non-Repartitioned version accordingly.
• Compiled with Clang 18.1.3 (ThinLTO + Polly + DCE + O3)
• Test: boots on Pixelbuilds (A14), Lineage 20 (A13 non-repartitioned), Pixel Experience 12.1 (A12 repartitioned. Thank you @guruusr for testing)
• [ other things I forgot goes here ]

A busy year #Blog
Since May, most of our channels have had no proper update posts in a few weeks time. I hate to mention it over and over again but it's the truth, other than the channels, we are also human beings with our own life.

To be honest, it would be better for me to take a break from the community for the coming months in order to focus on something that is much more important in my life at the moment. No guarantee but I will try to keep up with monthly updates from Google at least.

This year, in fact, will be by far the busiest year for me. Some channels still received updates, all thanks to people who are willing to lend their hand and keep the community updated, but this doesn't apply for everyone. Seriously, if you think you are typically bored and the type of person who typically checks for every update in the community, you are sincerely welcome to update everyone on the channel.

That's pretty much it, I hope everyone understands the reason behind the hiatus of our certain channels. It's more sort of a hobby you could say, we do this whenever we have the time voluntarily. Lastly, a video to revisit the good ol' days, and a clear installation guide on how to install custom ROM for older Pixels:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgQlvGAs1mY

We've decided to follow suit of other channels and stop posting future Project Elixir builds due to the malicious code found inside their source code.

For the people that aren't aware, Elixir has code inside the OS that formats devices, SD cards and ESIM's on users devices who switch a setting in ADB, which toggles on their "exclusive" features, that are meant for Patreon supporters. We do not support such practices for securing code as it is highly immoral and borderline illegal.

Despite their claims of removal of such code, they have breached our (and others', for example XDA is closing Elixir threads) trust and we will not promote such software as we're unsure what they will do next to "protect" their code.

This decision is effective from now on until specified.
