The Android system was once famous for extensive, out-of-tree kernelenhancements. Many of those have been eliminated or upstreamed overthe years, bringing Android much closer to the mainline kernel. Onesignificant component in the "upstreamed" category is Binder, aninterprocess communication mechanism that is used only by Android.
