- all working directory variables
- all user set variables
- add backwards compat so devs have time to update anykernel.sh
- overdue core variable cleanup, part 3/x
- KernelSU currently requires the Manager app be run after first rooted to dump /data/adb/ksud, and then it will process any pending modules_update.img on the next reboot
- the above is problematic since some custom kernels providing KernelSU support will require a working module system to overlay .ko kernel modules needed for feature support and sometimes the ROM won't boot without these matching
- work around this KernelSU behavior by dumping ksud ourselves as-needed during the AK3 helper module installation, allowing seamless initial KernelSU kernel support installation with AK3 helper module .ko support
See: https://github.com/tiann/KernelSU/issues/945
- attributes function now runs via core in setup_ak and reset_ak, but only if it exists, allowing more easy removal of it for setups with no ramdisk changes (so all should now remove the awkward `&& attributes` call from anykernel3.sh, see next commit)
- for multi-partition zips with multiple ramdisks requiring different files, multiple attributes functions may now be specified, either redefine attributes() in anykernel.sh for the next partition, or add a different function for each partition, e.g. boot_attributes() and vendor_boot_attributes()
- fix block=auto multi-partition setup creating an "auto-files" directory instead of final found block, e.g. "init_boot-files"
- some recoveries don't allow reading/changing shell context and will show an error:
sh: write error: Invalid argument
- these recoveries seem to allow loop mounts unlike most LOS Recovery builds lately, so hide the error output
- only parse kernel strings when both do.modules=1 and do.systemless=1 are set
- support post-fs-data.sh in systemless kernel helper module (gets renamed and sourced from the built-in one)
- show systemless kernel helper module as an update pending reboot in module apps if flashed while booted
- add system_ext support to systemless kernel helper module
- show a warning during flash if systemless kernel helper module is configured but there's no decrypted /data access to be able to install it
- detect the installed KernelSU app as the indicator the user intends to use KernelSU, and install systemless kernel helper module to modules_update.img accordingly
- do KernelSU directory setup and create modules_update.img if this appears to be the initial KernelSU install
- set all systemless kernel helper module files to system_file context, since unlabeled files are not gracefully handled by KernelSU (they trigger a reboot and the module gets rejected)
NOTE: currently it appears KernelSU won't parse the modules_update.img on the first boot where it sets itself up from initial KernelSU install, but it will then do it after the following reboot. Hopefully this can be fixed by a future KernelSU release so that the systemless kernel helper module is active right away as this might be necessary to boot fully on some devices
- latest Android has moved dalvikvm to /apex/com.android.art/bin/dalvikvm but there's currently no way to run this from recovery due to linkerconfig
- AVBv1 signing is most likely only needed on older devices running older Android which will still have /system/bin/dalvikvm so this shouldn't really affect anything
- loops would fail only in LOS Recovery from direct mount .img and losetup .img+loop mount with, e.g. "mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /apex/com.android.adbd failed: Invalid argument"
- this started ~LOS19, I believe, though I haven't tracked down the specific change yet
- confusing to diagnose, since it always works in recovery adb shell, until I realized there was a context difference: "su" for adb shell and "recovery" for zip flashes
- switch shell context temporarily to "su" to do apex mounts, then return to original context (currently only necessary for mounting loops)
