    Start partitioning off privapp_data_file from app_data_file · 23c9d91b
    Nick Kralevich authored
    Currently, both untrusted apps and priv-apps use the SELinux file label
    "app_data_file" for files in their /data/data directory. This is
    problematic, as we really want different rules for such files. For
    example, we may want to allow untrusted apps to load executable code
    from priv-app directories, but disallow untrusted apps from loading
    executable code from their own home directories.
    
    This change adds a new file type "privapp_data_file". For compatibility,
    we adjust the policy to support access privapp_data_files almost
    everywhere we were previously granting access to app_data_files
    (adbd and run-as being exceptions). Additional future tightening is
    possible here by removing some of these newly added rules.
    
    This label will start getting used in a followup change to
    system/sepolicy/private/seapp_contexts, similar to:
    
      -user=_app isPrivApp=true domain=priv_app type=app_data_file levelFrom=user
      +user=_app isPrivApp=true domain=priv_app type=privapp_data_file levelFrom=user
    
    For now, this newly introduced label has no usage, so this change
    is essentially a no-op.
    
    Test: Factory reset and boot - no problems on fresh install.
    Test: Upgrade to new version and test. No compatibility problems on
          filesystem upgrade.
