Cpufreq_ext Being Worked On For BPF-Based CPU Frequency Scaling
30 September 2024 - cpufreq_ext

The newly-merged sched_ext allows for the Linux kernel scheduler to be made more extensible by allowing BPF programs to be loaded to affect the kernel's scheduling behavior. There's now a similar take on CPU frequency scaling: cpufreq_ext. There's a "request for comments" patch series on cpufreq_ext for making extensible CPU frequency scaling algorithm adaptations with BPF.

Unlike other kernels, Melt Kernel will modify and flash the boot partition, vendor_dlkm partition, and vendor_boot partition in sequence during the installation process.

In special cases, the boot partition and vendor_dlkm partition may be modified and flashed, but the vendor_boot partition may fail. The best result would be to make the device unbootable so that the user is aware of the problem. However, this is not the case. Sometimes the device is still able to boot, and because the boot partition has been successfully flashed, the kernel version strings has changed, giving the user the illusion that the kernel has been successfully installed.

Therefore, we will introduce a rollback mechanism in the next version of Melt Kernel, which will install the unmodified partition images to the device if the installation process fails.

Google Updates Patches For AutoFDO+Propeller Optimized Linux Kernel
3 October 2024 - Faster Performance

Google engineers have been working on support for the Linux kernel to leverage AutoFDO feedback directed optimizations and Propeller optimizations when compiling the Linux kernel with LLVM/Clang. In turn this can help Linux systems see 2~10% better performance thanks to the more optimized kernel.

Linux 6.12还没被确定为LTS版本呢Google就已经给Android Common Kernel创建android16-6.12分支了，会不会给人一种钦定的感觉？

What's this?
This patch can overclock the Snapdragon 7+ gen2 CPU to the same frequency as the Snapdragon 8+ gen1.
This patch has been confirmed to bring NO performance improvements and is only intended for overclocking enthusiasts.

How to install it?
Install it like you installed the kernel. You can install it in TWRP or in some apps (eg: Kernel Flasher)

Which roms can install it?
- Official MIUI14/HyperOS rom (or some modified roms without much modification, such as: HyperOS.eu).
- AOSP roms based on MIUI14/HyperOS precompiled kernel modules.
- If you have already installed Melt Kernel, you can also install it.

Note:
- After installing it, if you regret it, just install it again to uninstall it.
- If you are a Melt Kernel user, you will need to re-install the patch after each installation of Melt Kernel.
- AOSP roms based on the OSS kernel from the LineageOS team are NOT supported.

Some off-topic comments:

Some users have found that their devices cannot boot into TWRP after installing some other custom GKI. In theory, this is very easy to fix, and I have mentioned this issue in this channel a long time ago. Some one kernel team didn't want to fix it and then told everyone that TWRP is outdated, LOL.

I'll make a general fix patch later.

SHA1: 310E00CB06D76D59B836580A2BDC898605DD0B38

Fix the issue where the device could not boot into recovery after updating GKI.
