How can I overwrite the WordPress validate_plugin function. I need to disable that function alone for my plugin, and it should not affect any other plugin.

I don't want the validate_plugin function for my plugin right now, I couldn't find a declared hook, do_action or apply_filter, within the function in the wp-admin/includes/plugin.php file.

?php
function run_activate_plugin( $plugin ) {
    $current = get_option( 'active_plugins' );
    $plugin = plugin_basename( trim( $plugin ) );

    if ( !in_array( $plugin, $current ) ) {
        $current[] = $plugin;
        sort( $current );
        do_action( 'activate_plugin', trim( $plugin ) );
        update_option( 'active_plugins', $current );
        do_action( 'activate_' . trim( $plugin ) );
        do_action( 'activated_plugin', trim( $plugin) );
    }

    return null;
}
run_activate_plugin( 'plugin/subfolder/plugin.php');

?

If i activate the plugin from subfolder it got deactivate because of that above function. So that the reason i want to disable the validate_plugin function for my plugin alone.

run_activate_plugin( 'plugin/subfolder/plugin.php');

Generally run_activate_plugin argument is to be look like

run_activate_plugin( 'akismet/akismet.php');

But now i am doing activate the plugin from subfolder like this way

run_activate_plugin( 'akismet/newfolder/akismet.php');

Any suggestions?

My solution: generate a backtrace in the function and bail early if called from validate_active_plugins().

function action_option_active_plugins( $value, $option ) {

    // Look at the call backtrace and bail early if called from validation function.
    $backtrace = debug_backtrace( 2 ); // Exclude ['object'] and ['args']
    foreach( $backtrace as $frame ) {
        if( $frame['function'] === 'validate_active_plugins' ) {
            return $value;
        }
    }

    //Do other stuff with $value...

    return $value;
 }
 add_filter( 'option_active_plugins', 'wpcom_vip_option_active_plugins', 10, 2 );
