- while many newer devices cannot allow / (system partition) to be mounted rw due to compressed fs (e.g. erofs) or logical partitions, it should remain possible to alter rootfs files/directories on those that previously allowed it
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.
- Generalize avtab node extraction and insertion
- Add new supported rules: type_change, type_member
- Update help message with official policy language
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.
