- Merge KERNEL.PLATFORM.1.0.r3-06800-kernel.0
- Merge LA.VENDOR.1.0.r2-15400-WAIPIO.QISI15.0 (camera)
- Add Oneplus' asynchronous shrink lruvec optimization feature
- Backport uid_sys_stats from ACK upstream
- Backport & add Kcompressd for accelerated memory compression
- Compile kernel image with Slim LLVM 21.1.1

Notes:
- For Kcompressd: Disable HyperOS memory expansion or do not configure ZRAM writeback blocks for best results.

Glow Kernel v4.2将随Linux v5.10.245 之后发布，在此之前可以先尝鲜这个版本。欢迎反馈bug。

Glow Kernel v4.2 will be released along with Linux v5.10.245, but you can try this version beforehand. Feel free to report any bugs you find.

另外，该版本修复了一个远古的bug，因此你可能会注意到app后台驻留效果变好了。

Additionally, this build fixes an ancient bug, so you may find that the app is less likely to be killed by the system.

最近我注意到有其他开发者质疑kshrink_slabd、kshrink_lruvecd、kcompressd存在的意义，在此谈一下我的观点。

首先是kshrink_slabd，这玩意算是历史悠久了，一加从v4.19就开始用，现在小米在最新的几款机型上也在用，如果它确实能导致那么多问题，那它应该早就没了才对。

然后是kshrink_lruvecd，同样是一加的玩意，小米拿过来之后改了个名字：mi_async_reclaim，也用在了几款新机型上。

最后是kcompressd，至少目前为止还没有发现bug，并且主观感知在高内存占用压力下切换app更流畅了，分析线程运行情况，可以发现kcompressd确实替kswapd分担了一部分压力。

所谓的分析讨论流程我也看了下，总结下来一句话：我证明不了它有用，因此我认为它没用。这种极其主观的想法是严重错误的。

与其听信谗言，不如亲眼所见。这也是我将内测的Glow Kernel v4.1.2版本公开发布的原因之一。

综上，对于kshrink_slabd、kshrink_lruvecd和kcompressd，除非它们确实会导致明显的bug或性能下降，否则我将继续保留它们。

Linux's New "Transitional" Feature A Long Overdue Improvement For Kernel Configurations
30 September 2025 - transitional

Merged as part of the kernel hardening updates for Linux 6.18 is not a direct hardening improvement but rather a long overdue enhancement to the kernel configuration "Kconfig" system. The introduction of this new "transitional" keyword for Kconfig options can ease the process of renaming Kconfig options across kernel versions with less breakage/headaches for those maintaining their own kernel configurations/builds.
