Some devices (mainly new Samsung phones we're talking here...) using
A only system-as-root refuse to load ramdisk when booted with boot
no matter what we do. With many A only system-as-root devices, even
though their boot image is kernel only, we can still be able to add
a ramdisk section into the image and force the kernel to use it as
rootfs. However the bootloader on devices like the S10 simply does
not load anything within boot image into memory other than the kernel.
This gives as the only option is to install Magisk on the recovery
partition. This commits adds proper support for these kind of scenarios.
95%+ of existing modules enables auto mount (obviously).
Switching auto mount to opt-out makes more sense than opt-in as
in previous module format. The file 'auto_mount' will be ignored, and
the file 'skip_mount' will be checked to toggle the mounting behavior.
After scanning through the current Magisk Module Repo modules, no
modules are using custom bind mounting; all modules with auto mount
disabled have empty system folder, which means this change will not
affect any existing module.
It seems both Android cancers, Samsung and Huawei devices, don't
like preloading sepolicy. For a temporary solution now is to limit
the sepolicy loading to Android Q only.
Of course, the cancer of Android, Huawei, has to do some f**king weird
modifications to the Linux kernel. Its kernel only accepts 1 single
policy load in its lifetime, a second load will result in ENOMEM error.
Since Huawei devices always use their own stupid ramdisk setup and not
system-as-root, not loading sepolicy is not a concern (for now).
Android Q init assumes rootfs to always be on EXT4 images, thus
never runs restorecon on the whole root directory. This is an issue
because some folders in rootfs were set with special selabels in
the system partition, but when copying over to initramfs by magiskinit,
these labels will not be preserved.
So the solution is to relabel the files in rootfs with the original
context right? Yes, but rootfs does not allow security xattr to be set
on files before the kernel SELinux initializes with genfs_contexts.
We have to load our sepolicy to the kernel before we clone the root
directory from system partition, which we will also restore the selabel
in the meantime.
Unfortunately this means that for each reboot, the exact same policy
will be loaded to the kernel twice: once in magiskinit so we can label
rootfs properly, and once by the original init, which is part of the
boot procedure. There is no easy way to prevent init from loading
sepolicy, as init will refuse to continue if policy loading has failed.
No matter if we use the old, buggy, error prone am_proc_start monitoring,
or the new APK inotify method, both methods rely on MagiskHide 'reacting'
fast enough to hijack the process before any detection has been done.
However, this is not reliable and practical. There are apps that utilize
native libraries to start detects and register SIGCONT signal handlers
to mitigate all existing MagiskHide process monitoring mechanism. So
our only solution is to hijack an app BEFORE it is started.
All Android apps' process is forked from zygote, so it is easily the
target to be monitored. All forks will be notified, and subsequent
thread spawning (Android apps are heaviliy multithreaded) from children
are also closely monitored to find the earliest possible point to
identify what the process will eventually be (before am_proc_bound).
ptrace is extremely complicated and very difficult to get right. The
current code is heaviliy tested on a stock Android 9.0 Pixel system,
so in theory it should work fine on most devices, but more tests and
potentially fixes are expected to follow this commit.
Before switching to the new MagiskHide implementation (APK inotify),
logcat parsing provides us lots of information to target a process.
We were targeting components so that apps with multi-processes
can still be hidden properly.
After switching to the new implementation, our granularity is limited
to the UID of the process. This is especially dangerous since Android
allow apps signed with the same signature to share UIDs, and many system
apps utilize this for elevated permissions for some services.
This commit introduces process name matching. We could not blanketly
target an UID, so the workaround is to verify its process name before
unmounting.
The tricky thing is that any app developer is allowed to name the
process of its component to whatever they want; there is no 'one
rule to catch them all' to target a specific package. As a result,
Magisk Manager is updated to scan through all components of all apps,
and show different processes of the same app, each as a separate
hide target in the list.
The hide target database also has to be updated accordingly.
Each hide target is now a <package name, process name> pair. The
magiskhide CLI and Magisk Manager is updated to support this new
target format.
Since we switched to imageless Magisk, module files are directly
stored in /data. However, /data is mounted with nosuid, which also
prevents SELinux typetransition to work (auto transition from one
domain to another when executing files with specific context).
This could cause serious issues when we are replacing system critical
components (e.g. app_process for Xposed), because most of them
are daemons that run in special process domains.
This commit introduced /data mirror. Using similar mirroring technique
we used for system and vendor, we mount another mirror that mounts
/data without nosuid flag. All module files are then mounted from this
mirror mountpoint instead of directly from /data.
Close#1080
Since we are parsing through /data/app/ to find target APKs for
monitoring, system apps will not be covered in this case.
Automatically reinstall system apps as if they received an update
and refresh the monitor target after it's done.
As a bonus, use RAII idioms for locking pthread_mutex_t.
Previous MagiskHide detects new app launches via listening through logcat
and filtering launch info messages.
This is extremely inefficient and prone to cause multiple issues both
theoratically and practically.
Rework this by using inotify to detect open() syscalls to target APKs.
This also solves issues related to Zygote-forked caching mechanisms such as
OnePlus OxygenOS' embryo.

Mounting ext4 images causes tons of issues, such as unmountable with broken F2FS drivers.
Resizing is also very complicated and does not work properly on all devices.
Each step in either measuring free space, resizing, and shrinking the image is a
point of failure, and either step's failure could cause the module system completely broken.
The new method is to directly store modules into /data/adb/modules, and for module installation
on boot /data/adb/modules_update. Several compatibility layers has been done: the new path is
bind mounted to the old path (/sbin/.magisk/img), and the helper functions in util_functions.sh
will now transparently make existing modules install to the new location without any changes.
MagiskHide is also updated to unmount module files stored in this new location.
Introduce a new communication method between Magisk and Magisk Manager.
Magisk used to hardcode classnames and send broadcast/start activities to
specific components. This new method makes no assumption of any class names,
so Magisk Manager can easily be fully obfuscated.
In addition, the new method connects Magisk and Magisk Manager with random
abstract Linux sockets instead of socket files in filesystems, bypassing
file system complexities (selinux, permissions and such)
Boot services tend to fail in the middle when the kernel loads a sepolicy live.
It seems that moving full patch (allow magisk * * *) to late_start is still not enough to fix service startup failures.
So screw it, apply all patched in magiskinit, which makes sure that all rules are only loaded in a single step.
The only down side is that some OEM with a HUGE set of secontexts (e.g. Samsung) might suffer a slightly longer boot time, which IS the reason why the rules are split to 2 parts in the first place.
