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.
