After we refactor the magic mount and always mount folder as tmpfs,
we can easily support deleting files or folders now. We recognize
dummy devices with major number 0 and minor number 0 as an indicator
for removing files and folders. This indicator is borrowed from
overlayfs.
Since system Safe Mode may activate without Magisk 'Safe Mode', this clarification will prevent users from erroneously concluding either that Safe Mode doesn't work or that modules are not the issue since 'Safe Mode' was apparently triggered...
Fixes this: #4624
It's very easy to wait for property change both in Java and C++,
but it's not the case in shell script. With this patch, developers
can now easily to wait for property change, just like what we have
in `.rc` files, and to wait for boot complete.
- Remove boot vbmeta patching because the checkbox is removed in b1363ee
- Remove meaningless slot argument from `fastboot flash` as it will automatically flash the active slot. Fix#7571
- actions: Update all actions/checkout references to v4
- magiskboot: Add missing new line to dtb help message
- docs: Update documents, fix some errors and remove outdated info
Previously, magic mount creates its own mirror devices and mount
mirror mount points. With these mirror mount points, magic mount
can get the original files and directory trees. However, some
devices use overlayfs to modify some mount points, and thus after
magic mount, the overlayed files are missing because the mirror
mount points do not contain the overlayed files. To address this
issue and make magic mount more compatible, this patch refactors
how magic mount works.
The new workflows are as follows:
1. make MAGISKTMP a private mount point so that we can create the
private mount points there
2. for mirror mount points, we instead of creating our own mirror
devices and mount the mirror mount points, we "copy" the
original mount points by recursively mounting /
3. to prevent magic mount affecting the mirror mount points, we
recursively set the mirror mount points private
4. to trace the mount points we created for reverting mounts, we
again make the mirror mount points shared, and by this way we
create a new peer group for each mirror mount points
5. as for tracing the newly created tmpfs mount point by magic
mount, we create a dedicated tmpfs mount point for them, namely
worker mount point, and obviously, it is shared as in a newly
created peer group for tracing
6. when reverting mount points by magic mount, we can then trace
the peer group id and unmount the mount points whose peer group
ids are created by us
The advantages are as follows:
1. it is more compatible, (e.g., with overlayfs, fix#2359)
2. it can mount more partitions for which previous implementation
cannot create mirror mount points (fix#3338)
