*/About the project
Kernel Permissive Patcher is born out of an idea to ease the development of ROMs.
Its purpose is to append the permissive flag to a kernel command-line,
in order to disable the kernel selinux security on boot without user changes.
The project implements the logic from the MultiROM injection (originally by Tasssadar),
finds the bootimage of your device (boot naming similar to Chainfire's boot detection),
and extends the cmdline with the permissive flag if required.
The project also uses my version of libbootimg to support Sony ELF bootimages.
The objective of Kernel Permissive Patcher is therefore to simply enable permissive
on a regular kernel for developers and users who would require it.
Developer no longer need to recompile or edit their bootimages with permissive settings,
nor do users need to perform a setenforce command on boot if they really need it.
The patcher needs to be flashed again after a ROM / bootimage update.
