  • Learn to ignore specific revisions
  • Policy Generation:
    
    Additional, per device, policy files can be added into the
    policy build.
    
    They can be configured through the use of three variables,
    they are:
    1. BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE
    2. BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION
    3. BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS
    
    4. BOARD_SEPOLICY_IGNORE
    
    
    The variables should be set in the BoardConfig.mk file in
    the device or vendor directories.
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION is a list of files that will be
    "unioned", IE concatenated, at the END of their respective
    file in external/sepolicy. Note, to add a unique file you
    would use this variable.
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE is a list of files that will be
    used instead of the corresponding file in external/sepolicy.
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS contains a list of directories to search
    for BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION and BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE files. Order
    matters in this list.
    eg.) If you have BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION := widget.te and have 2
    instances of widget.te files on BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS search path.
    The first one found (at the first search dir containing the file)
    gets processed first.
    Reviewing out/target/product/<device>/etc/sepolicy_intermediates/policy.conf
    will help sort out ordering issues.
    
    It is an error to specify a BOARD_POLICY_REPLACE file that does
    not exist in external/sepolicy.
    
    It is an error to specify a BOARD_POLICY_REPLACE file that appears
    multiple times on the policy search path defined by BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS.
    eg.) if you specify shell.te in BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE and
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS is set to
    "vendor/widget/common/sepolicy device/widget/x/sepolicy" and shell.te
    
    appears in both locations, it is an error. Unless it is in
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_IGNORE to be filtered out. See BOARD_SEPOLICY_IGNORE
    for more details.
    
    
    It is an error to specify the same file name in both
    BOARD_POLICY_REPLACE and BOARD_POLICY_UNION.
    
    It is an error to specify a BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS that has no entries when
    specifying BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE.
    
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_IGNORE is a list of paths (directory + filename) of
    files that are not to be included in the resulting policy. This list
    is passed to filter-out to remove any paths you may want to ignore. This
    is useful if you have numerous config directories that contain a file
    and you want to NOT include a particular file in your resulting
    policy file, either by UNION or REPLACE.
    Eg.) Suppose the follwoing:
         BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS := X Y
         BOARD_SEPOLICY_REPLACE := A
         BOARD_SEPOLICY_IGNORE := X/A
    
         Directories X and Y contain A.
    
         The resulting policy is created by using Y/A only, thus X/A was
         ignored.
    
    Example BoardConfig.mk Usage:
    
    From the Tuna device BoardConfig.mk, device/samsung/tuna/BoardConfig.mk
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS := \
            device/samsung/tuna/sepolicy
    
    BOARD_SEPOLICY_UNION := \
            genfs_contexts \
            file_contexts \
            sepolicy.te
