RestrictEvents - blocking unwanted processes

[MaLd0n]

Lilu Kernel extension for blocking unwanted processes causing compatibility issues on different hardware and unlocking the support for certain features restricted to other hardware. The list of blocks currently includes:

/System/Library/CoreServices/ExpansionSlotNotification

/System/Library/CoreServices/MemorySlotNotification

The list of patches currently includes:

Disabled MacBookAir model memory replacement UI (comes in pair with SystemMemoryStatus = Upgradable quirk).

Disabled MacPro7,1 PCI Expansion view and RAM view.

CPU brand string patch for non-Intel CPUs (can be forced for Intel with revcpu=1).

Disabled uninitialized disk UI

Note: Apple CPU identifier must be 0x0F01 for 8 core CPUs or higher and 0x0601 for 1, 2, 4, or 6 cores. This is the default in OpenCore for non-natively supported CPUs.

Boot arguments

-revoff (or -liluoff) to disable

-revdbg (or -liludbgall) to enable verbose logging (in DEBUG builds)

-revbeta (or -lilubetaall) to enable on macOS older than 10.8 or newer than 13

-revproc to enable verbose process logging (in DEBUG builds)

revpatch=value to enable patching as comma separated options. Default value is auto.

memtab - enable memory tab in System Information on MacBookAir and MacBookPro10,x platforms

pci - prevent PCI configuration warnings in System Settings on MacPro7,1 platforms

cpuname - custom CPU name in System Information

diskread - disables uninitialized disk warning in Finder

asset - allows Content Caching when sysctl kern.hv_vmm_present returns 1 on macOS 11.3 or newer

sbvmm - forces VMM SB model, allowing OTA updates for unsupported models on macOS 11.3 or newer

none - disable all patching

auto - same as memtab,pci,cpuname, without memtab and pci patches being applied on real Macs

revcpu=value to enable (1, non-Intel default)/disable (0, Intel default) CPU brand string patching.

revcpuname=value custom CPU brand string (max 48 characters, 20 or less recommended, taken from CPUID otherwise)

revblock=value to block processes as comma separated options. Default value is auto.

pci - prevent PCI and RAM configuration notifications on MacPro7,1 platforms

gmux - block displaypolicyd on Big Sur+ (for genuine MacBookPro9,1/10,1)

media - block mediaanalysisd on Ventura+ (for Metal 1 GPUs)

none - disable all blocking

auto - same as pci

Note: 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:revpatch, 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:revcpu, 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:revcpuname and 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:revblock NVRAM variables work the same as the boot arguments, but have lower priority.
