Description: I was originally browsing through project's FAQ on the [website](https://kernelsu.org/) and noticed a few discrepancies across the text.<br>I edited them out, and once having finished with the FAQ, I looked through other website pages as well. Changes: - updated documentation for the project's website (English version). -- P.S. I actually appreciate the partial documentation on GKI and in-depth Android mechanisms present in it. While there is of course documentation from Google, it is nice to have guidelines from a more practical standpoint.

What is KernelSU?
KernelSU is a root solution for Android GKI devices, it works in kernel mode and grants root permission to userspace applications directly in kernel space.
Features
The main feature of KernelSU is it is Kernel-based. KernelSU works in kernel mode, so it can provide kernel interface we never had before. For example, we can add hardware breakpoint to any process in kernel mode; We can access physical memory of any process without anybody being aware of; We can intercept any syscall in kernel space; etc.
And also, KernelSU provides a module system via overlayfs, which allows you to load your custom plugin into system. It also provides a mechanism to modify files in /system partition.
