- increase SignBoot bootimg header version maximum from 4 to 8 (upstream AOSP is already at 3) and make a variable for future ease
- hdr read size of 1024 bytes was too small as hdr_v1 and hdr_v2 have increased the used header page areas to 1632 and 1648 bytes, respectively, so raise this to the minimum page size of 2048 and also make a variable for future ease
- do not return "not signed" for all caught exceptions, show StackTrace for future debugging then still return false for script purposes
- correct "test keys" boot image signing strings (scripts and app) to "verity keys"
- remove redundant addon.d.sh script bits that were covered elsewhere ($TMPDIR in util_functions.sh, find_dtbo_image in patch_dtbo_image)
- refactor addon.d.sh and flash_script.sh for simplicity and readability, and put common flashing script in util_functions.sh (as patch_boot_image), which should greatly help avoid them getting out of sync going forward and fixes compressing ramdisk support and post-patch cleanup for addon.d
- add check_data to addon.d.sh since moving stock_boot* and stock_dtbo* backups depend on it and so weren't occuring with addon.d
- fix find_manager_apk with working fallback for recovery addon.d execution (where `magisk --sqlite` will not work for hidden Manager), Manager DynAPK hiding, and print a useful log warning if an APK can't be found
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.
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.
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.
1. Introduce new applet: imgtool for better separation from the main program
2. Actually mount the image and check statvfs for free space in the image
This shall eliminate any possible module installation failure from image resizing issues.
