What is KernelSU?
KernelSU is a root solution for Android, operating from the Linux kernel. It controls userspace applications, allowing only certain apps to access or detect the 'su' command. It offers customizable root privileges, letting users adjust the uid, gid, groups, capabilities, and SELinux rules of 'su'. KernelSU also includes a metamodule system for systemless modifications to the /system directory, and a whitelist access control system. It supports systemless modification of /system via overlayfs and is open-source, under the GPL-3 license.
