Text relocation support was removed from the linker for apps targeting API >= 23. See https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/android-changes-for-ndk-developers.md#text-relocations-enforced-for-api-level-23 However, the security policy was not updated to remove the execmod permission at that time, since we didn't have support for targeting SELinux policies to API versions. Remove execmod permissions for apps targeting API 26 or greater. The linker support was removed, so it's pointless to keep around the SELinux permissions. Retain execmod support for apps targeting API 25 or lower. While in theory we could remove support for API 23-25, that would involve the introduction of a new SELinux domain (and the associated rule explosion), which I would prefer to avoid. This change helps protect application executable code from modification, enforcing W^X properties on executable code pages loaded from files. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX Test: auditallow rules were added and nothing triggered for apps targeting API >= 26. Code compiles and device boots. Bug: 111544476 Change-Id: Iab9a0bd297411e99699e3651c110e57eb02a3a41
