Could you please post the compiled binary (preferably the CI+ version)? I don't have the toolchain ready...
I'm think this is a very useful optimisation, my TV currently takes a minute to init all extensions, even authuld finishes faster

I've juste tested the injector with sample module and here is what i have, after 1min 30s of waiting:
Code: Select all
# ./injectso `pidof exeDSP` module.so Inject_Main /dtv/
Module injector V1.1 for ARM based CPUs.

Done.

Is the the desired output, and why it takes 1min30s for this?

flo-ogb: Sorry, right now I do not have access to my toolchain either but I will have access in a few days, if that it is ok to you ... By the way, my TV is not CI+ but I think there should not be any differences.
You are right. The ptrace syscalls slow it down.
I updated the first post of this thread with a new version, which caches the imports. It is requires the path "/mtd_rwarea/etc" where it stores a file named "injectso.imports". For future improvements I would generate an import file for each binary which gets code injected, e.g. "/mtd_rwarea/etc/importso.d/mtd_exe/exeDSP.imports".

wow, tanks guys! that works really beautiful!
swapping the binary with the new one makes the startup MUCH faster. from 1:49 minutes spent in samygo.sh before to now just 17 seconds! and i could easily shave of some more seconds, if i remove some sleeps...
EDIT: now at 11 seconds. big thumbs up!
