      tracefs: avoid overly generic regexes · 4cae28d4
      Nick Kralevich authored
      On boot, Android runs restorecon on a number of virtual directories,
      such as /sys and /sys/kernel/debug, to ensure that the SELinux labels
      are correct. To avoid causing excessive boot time delays, the restorecon
      code aggressively prunes directories, to avoid recursing down directory
      trees which will never have a matching SELinux label.
      
      See:

      * https://android-review.googlesource.com/109103
      
      The key to this optimization is avoiding unnecessarily broad regular
      expressions in file_contexts. If an overly broad regex exists, the tree
      pruning code is ineffective, and the restorecon ends up visiting lots of
      unnecessary directories.
      
      The directory /sys/kernel/debug/tracing contains approximately 4500
      files normally, and on debuggable builds, this number can jump to over
      9000 files when the processing from wifi-events.rc occurs. For
      comparison, the entire /sys/kernel/debug tree (excluding
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing) only contains approximately 8000 files. The
      regular expression "/sys/kernel(/debug)?/tracing/(.*)?" ends up matching
      a significant number of files, which impacts boot performance.
      
      Instead of using an overly broad regex, refine the regex so only the
      files needed have an entry in file_contexts. This list of files is
      essentially a duplicate of the entries in
      frameworks/native/cmds/atrace/atrace.rc .
      
      This change reduces the restorecon_recursive call for /sys/kernel/debug
      from approximately 260ms to 40ms, a boot time reduction of approximately
      220ms.
      
      Bug: 35248779
      Test: device boots, no SELinux denials, faster boot.

      Restore app_domain macro and move to private use. · 3e8dbf01
      dcashman authored
      app_domain was split up in commit: 2e00e637 to
      enable compilation by hiding type_transition rules from public policy.  These
      rules need to be hidden from public policy because they describe how objects are
      labeled, of which non-platform should be unaware.  Instead of cutting apart the
      app_domain macro, which non-platform policy may rely on for implementing new app
      types, move all app_domain calls to private policy.
      
      (cherry-pick of commit: 76035ea0)
      
      Bug: 33428593
      Test: bullhead and sailfish both boot. sediff shows no policy change.

      sepolicy: add version_policy tool and version non-platform policy. · 2e00e637
      dcashman authored
      In order to support platform changes without simultaneous updates from
      non-platform components, the platform and non-platform policies must be
      split.  In order to provide a guarantee that policy written for
      non-platform objects continues to provide the same access, all types
      exposed to non-platform policy are versioned by converting them and the
      policy using them into attributes.
      
      This change performs that split, the subsequent versioning and also
      generates a mapping file to glue the different policy components
      together.
      
      Test: Device boots and runs.
