[PATCH v10 0/18] MR10569: wineandroid: rework Android integration and switch to split process model
by Twaik Yont (＠twaik) April 15, 2026

April 15, 2026

This series reworks the wineandroid driver and moves it away from the current “Wine inside JVM process” model to a split architecture where the Android activity (UI) and Wine run in separate processes. The existing model relies on running Wine inside the JVM process and interacting with Android through JNI callbacks and APC/unixlib-based dispatch. This approach no longer works reliably on modern Android: - Android 10+ applies seccomp restrictions to app processes, making a number of required syscalls unavailable inside the activity process, while processes started via fork/exec are not subject to the same limitations. - The implementation depends on Wine thread context (TEB), signal handling, and register state assumptions that conflict with the JVM runtime (e.g. segment register usage on x86), requiring fragile workarounds. - Due to sandboxing, it is difficult to reliably debug or even observe all failure modes, and future Android changes are likely to tighten these restrictions further. At the same time, downstream projects such as MiceWine, Winlator, Termux’s Wine environment, GameHub and GameNative already use a model where the UI (activity) and Wine run in separate processes and communicate via IPC, which has proven to work reliably on current Android systems. This series implements that model in wineandroid: - Wine is now started in a separate process via fork/exec instead of running inside the JVM process. - Android-facing code no longer depends on the Wine APC/unixlib execution path and runs on the UI thread where appropriate (e.g. native window registration). - ioctl handling is reworked to remove reliance on Wine thread context, with explicit JNIEnv usage and fd-based reply plumbing. - Environment setup and initialization are moved to the Java side, simplifying the native startup path. - Logging for ioctl paths is routed through Android logcat without depending on a Wine TEB. The changes are split into multiple bisect-safe commits to keep intermediate states functional while migrating the code step by step. With Wine running in a separate process, it is no longer subject to JVM seccomp restrictions, and there are no longer conflicts between JVM and Wine execution contexts (signals, thread state, register usage, etc.). <details> <summary>Old message</summary> wineandroid: move ioctl handling to dedicated Java-only thread Move ioctl handling out of the Wine APC/unixlib execution path into a dedicated Java-only thread without Wine context. On Android 10+ a number of syscalls are restricted inside the activity process via seccomp, while processes started via fork/exec are not subject to the same limitations. Decoupling ioctl handling from the Wine context is required to eventually run this code outside of the activity process. This change introduces a new transport and execution model where ioctl dispatch no longer depends on Wine thread state, preparing for moving the Android backend into a separate process. The refactor is intentionally split into multiple bisect-safe commits to keep intermediate states functional while gradually migrating the dispatch path. Since this is a fairly large chunk of work, I’d like to make sure we’re aligned before continuing. </details> -- v10: wineandroid: split Android driver and Wine into separate processes This merge request has too many patches to be relayed via email.

[PATCH 0/2] MR10072: shell32: Always update `outlen` (`pcchOut`) when querying strings
by Marijn Suijten (＠Marijn) April 15, 2026

April 15, 2026

At least `AssocQueryStringW()` is documented to update the character count in `pcchOut` to "the number of characters actually placed in the buffer" which requires us to update the value of `*outlen` even when the buffer size was sufficient: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlwapi/nf-shlwapi-asso… Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59402 -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10072

[PATCH v4 0/4] MR10561: Draft: Fix handling by SChannel for CNG/NCrypt client certificates for mTLS
by Benoît Legat (＠blegat) April 15, 2026

April 15, 2026

Part 3 of my attempt to run the [Niko Home Control programming software](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId… under Wine. If I understand correctly, the current implementation only supports retrieving via the legacy CryptoAPI (CAPI). The Niko app uses Cryptography Next Generation (CNG/NCrypt) so this PRs adds support for it in acquire_credentials_handle. -- v4: Fixes https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10561
