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.

Previously, Magisk changes the mount point from /system to /system_root
by patching fstab to prevent the original init from changing root.
The reason why we want to prevent the original init from switching the
root directory is because it will then be read-only, making patching
and injecting magiskinit into the boot chain difficult.
This commit (ab)uses the fact that the /data folder will never be part
of early mount (because it is handled very late in the boot by vold),
so that we can use it as the mount point of tmpfs to store files.
Some advantages of this method:
- No need to switch root manually
- No need to modify fstab, which significantly improves compatibility
e.g. avoid hacks for weird devices like those using oplus.fstab,
and avoid hacking init to bypass fstab in device trees
- Supports skip_mount.cfg
- Support DSU
The adapter will cache a LayoutInflater which refers the current activity, and the ViewModel object will keep alive until activity finished. After activity recreates (e.g. split-screen), it will use the cached LayoutInflater which refers a destroyed activity and crashes. This also is a memory-leak, according to Google's official document, ViewModel shouldn't refer activity. See https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel
Fix topjohnwu#5413
Fix, added some translations.
Added note for technicality word in case user don't know the word mean in English like "boot image", "image" is translated to "đĩa ảnh", I can't really understand it if I use Vietnamese lang 😂.
