| | 7 | // neuter the android property service. |

| | 9 | // ashmem allows us to restrict permissions for a page further, but not relax them. |
| | 10 | // adb relies on the ability to read ro.secure to know whether to drop its privileges or not; |
| | 11 | // if it can't read the ro.secure property (because perhaps it couldn't map the ashmem page... :) |
| | 12 | // then it will come up as root under the assumption that ro.secure is off. |
| | 13 | // this will have the unfortunate side effect of rendering any of the bionic userspace that relies on the property |
| | 14 | // service and things like dns broken. |
| | 15 | // thus, we will want to use this, see if we can fix the misc partition, and downgrade the firmware as a whole to something more root friendly. |
