Magisk Booting Process
Pre-Init
`magiskinit` will replace `init` as the first program to run.
– Early mount required partitions. On legacy system-as-root devices, we switch root to system; on 2SI devices, we patch fstab and execute the original `init` to mount partitions for us.
– Load sepolicy either from `/sepolicy`, precompiled sepolicy in vendor, or compile split sepolicy
– Patch sepolicy rules and dump to `/sepolicy` or `/sbin/.se` or `/dev/.se`
– Patch `init` or `libselinux.so` to force the system to load the patched policies
– Inject magisk services into `init.rc`
– Execute the original `init` to continue the boot processpost-fs-data
This triggers on `post-fs-data` when `/data` is decrypted and mounted. The daemon `magiskd` will be launched, post-fs-data scripts are executed, and module files are magic mounted.
late_start
Later in the booting process, the class `late_start` will be triggered, and Magisk “service” mode will be started. In this mode, service scripts are executed.
## Resetprop
Usually, system properties are designed to only be updated by `init` and read-only to non-root processes. With root you can change properties by sending requests to `property_service` (hosted by `init`) using commands such as `setprop`, but changing read-only props (props that start with `ro.` like `ro.build.product`) and deleting properties are still prohibited.
`resetprop` is implemented by distilling out the source code related to system properties from AOSP and patched to allow direct modification to property area, or `prop_area`, bypassing the need to go through `property_service`. Since we are bypassing `property_service`, there are a few caveats:
– `on property:foo=bar` actions registered in `*.rc` scripts will not be triggered if property changes does not go through `property_service`. The default set property behavior of `resetprop` matches `setprop`, which **WILL** trigger events (implemented by first deleting the property then set it via `property_service`). There is a flag `-n` to disable it if you need this special behavior.
– persist properties (props that starts with `persist.`, like `persist.sys.usb.config`) are stored in both `prop_area` and `/data/property`. By default, deleting props will **NOT** remove it from persistent storage, meaning the property will be restored after the next reboot; reading props will **NOT** read from persistent storage, as this is the behavior of `getprop`. With the flag `-p`, deleting props will remove the prop in **BOTH** `prop_area` and `/data/property`, and reading props will be read from **BOTH** `prop_area` and persistent storage.
