The existing method for handling legacy SAR is:
1. Mount /sbin tmpfs overlay
2. Dump all patched/new files into /sbin
3. Magic mount root dir and re-exec patched stock init
With Android 11 removing the /sbin folder, it is quite obvious that
things completely break down right in step 1.
To overcome this issue, we have to find a way to swap out the init
binary AFTER we re-exec stock init. This is where 2SI comes to rescue!
2SI normal boot procedure is:
1st stage -> Load sepolicy -> 2nd stage -> boot continue...
2SI Magisk boot procedure is:
MagiskInit 1st stage -> Stock 1st stage -> MagiskInit 2nd Stage ->
-> Stock init load sepolicy -> Stock 2nd stage -> boot continue...
As you can see, the trick is to make stock 1st stage init re-exec back
into MagiskInit so we can do our setup. This is possible by manipulating
some ramdisk files on initramfs based 2SI devices (old ass non SAR
devices AND super modern devices like Pixel 3/4), but not possible
on device that are stuck using legacy SAR (device that are not that
modern but not too old, like Pixel 1/2. Fucking Google logic!!)
This commit introduces a new way to intercept stock init re-exec flow:
ptrace init with forked tracer, monitor PTRACE_EVENT_EXEC, then swap
out the init file with bind mounts right before execv returns!
Going through this flow however will lose some necessary backup files,
so some bookkeeping has to be done by making the tracer hold these
files in memory and act as a daemon. 2nd stage MagiskInit will ack the
daemon to release these files at the correct time.
It just works™ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Old Qualcomn devices have their own special QC table of DTB to
store device trees. Since patching fstab is now mandatory on Android 10,
and for older devices all early mount devices have to be included into
the fstab in DTBs, patching QCDT is crucial for rooting Android 10
on legacy devices.
Close#1876 (Thanks for getting me aware of this issue!)
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.
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.
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.
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.
