Something went wrong on our end

Kernel commit 3ba4bf5f1e2c ("selinux: add a map permission check for mmap") added a map permission check on mmap so that we can distinguish memory mapped access (since it has different implications for revocation). The purpose of a separate map permission check on mmap(2) is to permit policy to prohibit memory mapping of specific files for which we need to ensure that every access is revalidated, particularly useful for scenarios where we expect the file to be relabeled at runtime in order to reflect state changes (e.g. cross-domain solution, assured pipeline without data copying). The kernel commit is anticipated to be included in Linux 4.13. This change defines map permission for the Android policy. It mirrors the definition in the kernel classmap by adding it to the common definitions for files and sockets. This will break compatibility for kernels that predate the dynamic class/perm mapping support (< 2.6.33); on such kernels, one would instead need to add map permission to the end of each file and socket access vector. This change also adds map permission to the global macro definitions for file permissions, thereby allowing it in any allow rule that uses these macros, and to specific rules allowing mapping of files from /system and executable types. This should cover most cases where it is needed, although it may still need to be added to specific allow rules when the global macros are not used.
