    Device-agnostic policy for vendor image · 5596172d
    Alex Klyubin authored
    Default HAL implementations are built from the platform tree and get
    placed into the vendor image. The SELinux rules needed for these HAL
    implementations to operate thus need to reside on the vendor
    partition.
    
    Up to now, the only place to define such rules in the source tree was
    the system/sepolicy/public directory. These rules are placed into the
    vendor partition. Unfortunately, they are also placed into the
    system/root partition, which thus unnecessarily grants these rules to
    all HAL implementations of the specified service, default/in-process
    shims or not.
    
    This commit adds a new directory, system/sepolicy/vendor, whose
    rules are concatenated with the device-specific rules at build time.
    These rules are thus placed into the vendor partition and are not
    placed into the system/root partition.
    
    Test: No change to SELinux policy.
    Test: Rules placed into vendor directory end up in nonplat* artefacts,
          but not in plat* artefacts.
