Patching DTBs is proven to be difficult and problematic as there are tons of different formats out there. Adding support for all the formats in magiskboot has been quite an headache in the past year, and it still definitely does not cover all possible cases of them out there. There is another issue: fake dt fstabs. Some super old devices do not have device trees in their boot images, so some custom ROM developers had came up with a "genius" solution: hardcode fstab entries directly in the kernel source code and create fake device tree nodes even if Android 10+ init can graciously take fstab files instead (-_-) 。。。 And there is YET another issue: DTBs are not always in boot images! Google is crazy enough to litter DTBs all over the place, it is like they cannot make up their minds (duh). This means the dt fstabs can be either concatnated after the kernel (1), in the DTB partition (2), in the DTBO partition (3), in the recovery_dtbo section in boot images (4), or in the dtb section in boot images (5). FIVE f**king places, how can anyone keep up with that! With Android 10+ that uses 2 stage inits, it is crutual for Magisk to be able to modify fstab mount points in order to let the original init mount partitions for us, but NOT switch root and continue booting. For devices using dt for early mount fstab, we used to patch the DTB at install time with magiskboot. However these changes are permanent and cannot be restored back at reinstallation. With this commit, Magisk will read dt fstabs and write them to ramdisk at boot time. And in that case, the init binary will also be patched to force it to NEVER use fstabs in device-tree. By doing so, we can unify ramdisk based 2SI fstab patching as basically we are just patching fstab files. This also means we can manipulate fstab whatever Magisk needs in the future without the need to going through the headache that is patching DTBs at installation. |
