[Q] Creating patches for Android kernel

Hi everyone,
I wanted to learn how to develop patches for the kernel of a Nexus 4. But i'm a complete beginner in all this. Could someone give me guidance on how to develop the patches to add additional features to a kernel, or from where I can learn this from. Please note that i'm not asking how to ADD a patch to a kernel but how to DEVELOP a patch.
Or is there any other way to develop a kernel based on someone else's kernel? As in a step by step guide in DEVELOPMENT?
Thanks in advance.

Manual Security Patch Update for Custom Roms

Hello everyone,
I don't know if this is the right place to ask, please move to the appropriate section if needed.
My question - let's say I have a rom on my device that is no longer maintained by the developer, is there any way through which I can manually update Android security patches or maybe maintain the rom myself??
** considering that I don't have any custom kernel available or its no longer updated at all.
Can anyone help me with this?
good question

How to patch android kernel source from Google security patches

Hi everybody,
I want to build a Android Pie custom kernel for my device, Huawei Mate 10, but I think that my questions can work for Android Pie from other vendors.
I have downloaded the correct Pie kernel source for my device model from vendor, and I have been able to build and flash it, and it's working fine.
The vendor's kernel source has 2018-11-01 security patch level applied.
At this point I have questions about security patch level. I have searched for information, but I have not found what I am looking for:
How can I download security patches? There is some zip file with all the patches for every security level? For example, I want to patch kernel source with security patch level 2018-12-01: https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2018-12-01. I have not been able to find downloadable patch files, or instruction for patch the kernel sources.
Can anyone help me to define a procedure?
Best Regards,
Operich.

[Advice] Best ROM option for security, SELinux / Android Patches / Build signatures

Hello everyone, long time lurker hoping for some guidance.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, yes I know it is old.
I am trying different ROMs, RR & LOS, although there are pros to each.
I do not require root, and just a few basic apps, but I would like the best option for device security.
Between versions 16 and 17 of RR and LOS, I can get 1 but not the other, i.e If security patches are up to date I have no SELinux enforced, and vice versa
Is there a way I can 'patch' SELinux into RR or LOS???
I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance.
If anyone would kindly be able to give a brief run down of the functions and importance of the choices please;
SELinux - protects apps being naughy.. is this a problem if I only install a select trusted apps?
Android Security Patches - What exactly do they protect against?
Build signature - I understand that is because it is not an 'Official' ROM, but how important?
Thank you.
