Directly read from urandom instead of using std::random_device.
libc++ will use iostream under-the-hood, which brings significant
binary size increase that is not welcomed, especially in magiskinit.
- while many newer devices cannot allow / (system partition) to be mounted rw due to compressed fs (e.g. erofs) or logical partitions, it should remain possible to alter rootfs files/directories on those that previously allowed it
The way how logical partition, or "Logical Resizable Android Partitions"
as they say in AOSP source code, is setup makes it impossible to early
mount the partitions from the shared super partition with just
a few lines of code; in fact, AOSP has a whole "fs_mgr" folder which
consist of multiple complex libraries, with 15K lines of code just
to deal with the device mapper shenanigans.
In order to keep the already overly complicated MagiskInit more
managable, I chose NOT to go the route of including fs_mgr directly
into MagiskInit. Luckily, starting from Android Q, Google decided to
split init startup into 3 stages, with the first stage doing _only_
early mount. This is great news, because we can simply let the stock
init do its own thing for us, and we intercept the bootup sequence.
So the workflow can be visualized roughly below:
Magisk First Stage --> First Stage Mount --> Magisk Second Stage --+
(MagiskInit) (Original Init) (MagiskInit) +
+
+
...Rest of the boot... <-- Second Stage <-- Selinux Setup <--+
(__________________ Original Init ____________________)
The catch here is that after doing all the first stage mounting, /init
will pivot /system as root directory (/), leaving us impossible to
regain control after we hand it over. So the solution here is to patch
fstab in /first_stage_ramdisk on-the-fly to redirect /system to
/system_root, making the original init do all the hard work for
us and mount required early mount partitions, but skips the step of
switching root directory. It will also conveniently hand over execution
back to MagiskInit, which we will reuse the routine for patching
root directory in normal system-as-root situations.
- Magisk "dirty" flashes would remove the /overlay directory which might have been put there by a custom kernel or other mod
- this is a leftover from when Magisk itself used /overlay for placing init.magisk.rc, so just remove this file specifically and leave the rest intact
The current system-as-root magiskinit implementation (converting
root directory in system partition to legacy rootfs setup) is now
considered as backwards compatible only.
The new implementation that is hide and Android Q friendly is coming soon.
- when input image had a compressed ramdisk magiskboot had no way to force the repack with the uncompressed ramdisk.cpio since it does not formally recognize cpio as its own format, so add a switch to support forcing repacking to any possible ramdisk format regardless of input image
- when input image had a different supported format (e.g. gzip) magiskboot would not accept a manually compressed ramdisk or kernel in an unsupported format (e.g. lzop) despite being able to recognize it, so instead would double compress using whatever the input format was, breaking the image with, in effect, a ramdisk.cpio.lzo.gz
In commit 8d4c407, native Magisk always launches an activity for
communicating with Magisk Manager. While this works extremely well,
since it also workaround stupid OEMs that blocks broadcasts, it has a
problem: launching an activity will claim the focus of the device,
which could be super annoying in some circumstances.
This commit adds a new feature to run a broadcast test on boot complete.
If Magisk Manager successfully receives the broadcast, it will toggle
a setting in magiskd so all future su loggings and notifies will always
use broadcasts instead of launching activities.
Fix#1412
For devices come with two /data mount points, magisk will bind the one in tmpfs and failed to load modules since this partition is empty.

We used to construct /sbin tmpfs overlay in early-init stage after
SELinux is properly initialized. However the way it is implemented
(forking daemon from magiskinit with complicated file waiting triggers)
is extremely complicated and error prone.
This commit moves the construction of the sbin overlay to pre-init
stage. The catch is that since SELinux is not present at that point,
proper selabel has to be reconstructed afterwards. Some additional
SEPolicy rules are added to make sure init can access magisk binaries,
and the secontext relabeling task is assigned to the main Magisk daemon.
Some stupid Samsung ROMs will spawn multiple zygote daemons. Since we
switched to ptrace based process monitoring, we have to know all zygote
processes to trace. This is an attempt to fix this issue.
Close#1272
Since Android Q does not allow launching activities from the background
(Services/BroadcastReceivers) and our native process is root, directly
launch activities and use it for communication between native and app.
The target activity is not exported, so non-root apps cannot send an
intent to fool Magisk Manager. This is as safe as the previous
implementation, which uses protected system broadcasts.
This also workaround broadcast limitations in many ROMs (especially
in Chinese ROMs) which blocks the su request dialog if the app is
frozen/force stopped by the system.
Close#1326
The root nodes are /system and /vendor. Adding new files into these
directories, although works on some devices, mostly bootloops on many
devices out there. So don't allow it, which also makes the whole magic
mounting logic much easier and extensible.
Samsung does not like running cmd before system services are started.
Instead of failing, it will enter an infinite wait on binder.
Move APK installation to boot complete to make sure pm can be run
without blocking process.
Forseeing the future that more and more A only system-as-root devices
would have similar bootloader behavior as the latest Samsung devices
(that is, no ramdisk will be loaded into memory when booting from
the boot partition), a solution/workaround has to be made when Magisk
is installed to the recovery partition, making custom recoveries
unable to co-exist with Magisk.
This commit allows magiskinit to read input device events from the
kernel to detect when a user holds volume key up to toggle whether
system-as-root mode is enabled. When system-as-root mode is disabled,
magiskinit will boot with ramdisk instead of cloning rootfs from system,
which in this case will boot to the recovery.
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.
It seems that even adding this to the list doesn't 100% works on all
devices out there, and some even reported crashes on several Google
services. Disable it for now and do further investigations in the future.
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.
Allow zygote to execute other programs (such as dex2oat).
This fixes the bug that cause ART framework boot images failed to load
and result to extremely serious performance degradation.
Fix#1195
vector<bool> uses bitsets, so we actually only use 12k memory to
store all 3 possible PID info tables. PID checkup will be now become
O(1) instead of O(logn).
P.S. The reason why we don't use unordered_map is because including it
will result in significant binary size increase (might be due to the
complex hash table STL implementation? I really don't know).
MicroG uses a different package to handle DroidGuard service (SafetyNet),
but still uses the same com.google.android.gms.unstable process name.
Thanks to the changes in 4e53ebfe, we can target both official GMS
and MicroG SafetyNet services at the same time.
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.
Shut down any UID matching process and resume if it turns out not to
be our target. Since we will record every single process we have ever
paused, this means that the same process will not be paused erroneously
for another time.
This is an optimization to hijack the app as soon as possible.
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.
Most Chinese devices (and supposedly Galaxy S10) running Android Pie
is using system-as-root without A/B partition.
https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/system-as-root#about-system-as-root
According to the docs above, these devices will have a ramdisk block
with size 0 in their boot images. Since magiskinit can run independently
on system-as-root devices, we simply just create an empty ramdisk with
magiskinit added as init.
Huge thanks to @vvb2060 for the heads up and original PR.
Close#980, close#1102
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
Reinstalling system apps as data creates tons of issues.
Calling pm path <pkg> is extremely expensive and doesn't work in post-fs-data.
Parse through packages.xml to get APK path and UID at the same time.
As a bonus, we don't need to traverse /data/app for packages anymore.
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.
- Fail fast on unsupported systems
- Show proper fail message on unsupported systems
- inotify_fd shall be swapped out before closing to prevent
the proc_monitor thread to read from incomplete inotify fd
- Directly get UID instead of traversing /data/data everytime
- Use /data/user_de/0 instead of /data/data on Android 7.0+
- Update hide_uid set incrementally when adding/initializing targets
- Guard hide_uid set with the same lock as hide_list vector
- Do not add GMS package into database; only add to in-memory list
