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.
The database should only be accessed by a single process, which is magiskd.
This means 'magisk --sqlite [SQL]' has to be updated to pass the SQL command to the daemon.
In addition, open the database connection with SQLITE_OPEN_FULLMUTEX to support multithread in magiskd.
Introduce a new communication method between Magisk and Magisk Manager.
Magisk used to hardcode classnames and send broadcast/start activities to
specific components. This new method makes no assumption of any class names,
so Magisk Manager can easily be fully obfuscated.
In addition, the new method connects Magisk and Magisk Manager with random
abstract Linux sockets instead of socket files in filesystems, bypassing
file system complexities (selinux, permissions and such)
Boot services tend to fail in the middle when the kernel loads a sepolicy live.
It seems that moving full patch (allow magisk * * *) to late_start is still not enough to fix service startup failures.
So screw it, apply all patched in magiskinit, which makes sure that all rules are only loaded in a single step.
The only down side is that some OEM with a HUGE set of secontexts (e.g. Samsung) might suffer a slightly longer boot time, which IS the reason why the rules are split to 2 parts in the first place.
