In the current implementation, Magisk will either have to recreate
all early mount implementation (for legacy SAR and rootfs devices) or
delegate early mount to first stage init (for 2SI devices) to access
required partitions for loading sepolicy. It then has to recreate the
split sepolicy loading implementation in-house, apply patches, then
dump the compiled + patched policies into monolithic format somewhere.
Finally, it patches the original init to force it to load the sepolicy
file we just created.
With the increasing complexity involved in early mount and split
sepolicy (there is even APEX module involved in the future!),
it is about time to rethink Magisk's sepolicy strategy as rebuilding
init's functionality is not scalable and easy to maintain.
In this commit, instead of building sepolicy ourselves, we mock
selinuxfs with FIFO files connected to a pre-init daemon, waiting
for the actual init process to directly write the sepolicy file into
MagiskInit. We then patch the file and load it into the kernel. Some
FIFO tricks has to be used to hijack the original init process's
control flow and prevent race conditions, details are directly in the
comments in code.
At the moment, only system-as-root (read-only root) support is added.
Support for legacy rootfs devices will come with a follow up commit.
In the constructor of mmap_data, there are two possible values when fails: nullptr if fstat() fails, and MAP_FAILED if mmap() fails, but mmap_data treated MAP_FAILED as valid address and crashes.
- Use ftruncate64 instead of ftruncate to workaround seccomp
- Cast uint32_t to off64_t before making it negative
Note: Using ftruncate with a modern NDK libc should actually be
fine as the syscall wrapper in bionic will use ftruncate64 internally.
However, since we are using the libc.a from r10e built for Gingerbread,
seccomp wasn't a thing back then, and also the ftruncate64 symbol is
missing; we have to create our own wrapper and call it instead on
32-bit ABIs.
Props to @jnotuo for discovering the overflow bug and seccomp issue
Fix#3703, close#4915
faccessat() should return 0 when success, but it returns random number with errno == 0 in x86 platform.
It’s a side effect of commit bf80b08b5febd3f311108ff1c6e6a6bf2d1113b7 when magisk binaries ‘corretly’ linked with library of API16 .. lol
