This page documents the status of mainline Linux on the Pixel 2 XL!
Status
Initial porting work is being done by Kalube. The device boots Linux 5.10 and can successfully dump to pstore. Simplefb doesn't work (stays on boot splash), early panel driver attempts have also not been successful.
The display panel uses dsc compression which doesn't seem to be used much at all on Mainline.
pstore
Due to having to cold reboot the device, pstore becomes extremely corrupt as memory loses power for a short amount of time. I was able to partially counter this and get /almost/ readable pstore (https://s.connolly.tech/pstore.jpeg) by putting the device in a freezer at -27C and then keeping it on ice.
UFS
pstore seems to have some ufs errors...
