When detecting device is booting as Safe Mode, disable all modules and
MagiskHide and skip all operations. The only thing that'll be available
in this state is root (Magisk Manager will also be disabled by system).
Since the next normal boot will also have all modules disabled, this can
be used to rescue a device in the case when a rogue module causes
bootloop and no custom recovery is available (or recoveries without
the ability to decrypt data).
Since we no longer need to add new properties in the device tree, and
all the patches we do removes strings, we can just directly patch
the flat device tree in-place, ignoring basically all the higher level
DTB structure and format to accomplish 100% compatibility.
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.
Rewrite the whole module mounting logic from scratch.
Even the algorithm is different compared to the old one.
This new design focuses on a few key points:
- Modular: Custom nodes can be injected into the mount tree.
It's the main reason for starting the rewrite (needed for Android 11)
- Efficient: Compared to the existing implementation, this is the most
efficient (both in terms of computation and memory usage) design I
currently can come up with.
- Accurate: The old mounting logic relies on handling specifically every
edge case I can think of. During this rewrite I actually found some
cases that the old design does not handle properly. This new design is
architected in a way (node types and its rankings) that it should
handle edge cases all by itself when constructing mount trees.
Value of <dt>/fstab/<partition>/dev and <dt>/fstab/<partition>/type in official Android emulator ends with newline instead of \0, Magisk won’t be able to patch sepolicy and crash the system.

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)_/¯
Since SafetyNet CTS is impossible to achieve, leaving MagiskHide on
by default no longer serves a purpose.

MagiskHide's functionality will continue to exist within the Magisk
project as it is still extremely effective to hide modifications in
userspace (including SafetyNet's basicIntegrity check).
Future MagiskHide improvements _may_ come, but since the holy grail
has been taken, any form of improvement is now a very low priority.
readlinkat() may return random value instead of the number of bytes placed in buf and crashing the system in two ways:
1. segmentation fault (buf[-7633350] = ‘\0’)
2. wrong link of watchdogd, resulting dog timeout
Confirmed working in ZenFone 2 x86 series, may fix#2247 and #2356

Vendors are always adding “extra libraries” in /vendor/lib* for their own sake, in this case AS*S loaded with customized `libicuuc.so` for Zenf*ne 5z and led to the failure of dynamic loading libsqlite.so:

Some Motorola devices (Qualcomm kernel with CONFIG_MMI_DEVICE_DTBS
configuration enabled) need 1k of padding to the DTBs to allow for
environment variables to be runtime added by the bootloader.
Those extra paddings will be removed during the process of dtb patch,
devices won’t be able to boot-up and return to fastboot mode immediately
after flashed the flawed boot.img.

- some Samsung devices (e.g. Galaxy S5 SMG-900H) use a slightly different AOSP bootimg.h variant with `#define BOOT_NAME_SIZE 20` instead of 16
- since all known examples of these device images do not have anything in the NAME or CMDLINE fields, and the bootloader also accepts standard AOSP images, simply offset the SHA1/SHA256 detection by 4 bytes to avoid false positives from these images, remain an equally effective detection shortcut, and ensure a proper SHA1 checksum on repack
