- fix duplicate kernel version (vertmp) entries from some kernels
- don't use head when grep -m1 will suffice
- fix some (bad) OEM prop files including entries twice, use last entry like live system
- attempt to mount other partitions whether determined as /system or /system_root
- /system_root by that point if mounted will actually be /system_root so no need for further checks
- add missing /system_ext entries to custom getprop and cleanup functions
- touch up a couple pesky minor things
- add global scope to replace_line and remove_line so they match replace_string, and can now work on all matches found in a file
- remove unnecessary slot swapping since this is already handled with $POSTINSTALL and FlashAfterUpdate addon.d-v2's setup
- add cache mounting into main functions
- rename slot function to bring in line with my other projects
- don't rely on props if possible: determine dynamic/logical partitions from /dev/block/mapper presence, and detect slots more robustly using props and cmdline as in AK3 Core
- fix opposite slot detection for pushing modules to system and/or vendor during addon.d-v2
- only do setup_env and restore_env when in recovery to prevent environment/mount issues post-install
- use busybox [ for simple integer test to ensure known numerical operator behavior
- Lineage 17 Recovery has some problems currently: /system mountpoint in ramdisk, neither /system nor /system_root in fstab (it has / instead, which is useless), ANDROID_ROOT=/system, and no /system_root symlink
- /etc is linked to /system/etc so once /system is mounted /etc/fstab is gone and no further simple mount commands will work so move other mounts before /system
- /system/bin are the only utilities available on PATH with none at all in /sbin so we need /apex files mounted immediately or no non-busybox commands will work after mounting /system over the recovery's skeleton /system
- not all devices have /dev/block/bootdevice symlinks, but at some point "broken recovery is broken" has to apply, so I don't intend to build out full system partition discovery for the SAR mount fallback
- for A/B OTAs my FlashAfterUpdate addon.d script requires the zip to know about addon.d-v2 and act accordingly
- signify support with #FLASHAFTERUPDATEV2 tag in updater-script to pass whitelist check since the majority of zips will not work correctly
- Lineage has a mindboggling: /system_root as mountpoint in ramdisk, neither /system nor /system_root in fstab (it has / instead, which is useless), ANDROID_ROOT=/system, and a possible symlink from /system to /system_root/system
- this failure to have a sensible, working fstab triggers the fallback to mounting directly from /dev/block/bootdevice which should exist on all modern devices which would need this SAR fallback
- add basic slot support for the fallback mount, since Lineage Recovery also doesn't make symlinks to the active slot partitions
TWRP now has 3(!) different competing implementations of SAR currently in use by maintainers:
1) /system as mountpoint in ramdisk/fstab and ANDROID_ROOT=/system, and possible symlink from /system_root to /system
2) /system_root as mountpoint in ramdisk/fstab, ANDROID_ROOT=/system_root, and possible symlink from /system to /system_root/system
3) /system_root as mountpoint in ramdisk/fstab, ANDROID_ROOT=/system, and possible symlink from /system to /system_root/system
Attempt to continue to accommodate this bullshit.
- move checks to functions to isolate single-use variables as local
- signify globally available variables with capitalization
- move setup and mount to functions to mirror umount_all and restore_env
- cluster functions by use order (no call should preceed its function)
- use short circuit return tests to reduce indentation now that we use functions
- with do.systemless prop enabled in anykernel.sh, will push the contents of modules/ to create a simple "ak3-helper" Magisk module, where testing on devices thus far shows it loads early enough that even replacement kernel object .ko modules will get loaded
- the ak3-helper module info is populated from the kernel.string and parsed kernel version from the kernel being flashed, and if at boot time a different kernel is detected the module automatically removes itself before being loaded to avoid conflicts
- since logical partitions and ext4-dedup on Android 10 now prevent mounting /system or /vendor rw under any circumstances, this feature gives kernel developers back the freedom they had before all this to improve kernel .ko modules, .conf files, etc. with the added bonus of it cleaning up after itself
- work around booted flashing apps like FKM/EXKM which make /system busy to keep it from being unmounted but can't do the same with /system_root which can lead to sketchy behavior
