    Allow /dev/klog access, drop mknod and __null__ access · e2651972
    Nick Kralevich authored
    Allow vold, healthd, slideshow, and watchdogd access to /dev/kmsg.
    These processes log to the kernel dmesg ring buffer, so they need
    write access to that file.
    
    Addresses the following denials:
    
        avc: denied { write } for pid=134 comm="watchdogd" name="kmsg" dev="tmpfs" ino=9248 scontext=u:r:watchdogd:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:kmsg_device:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=0
        avc: denied { write } for pid=166 comm="healthd" name="kmsg" dev="tmpfs" ino=9248 scontext=u:r:healthd:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:kmsg_device:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=0
        avc: denied { write } for pid=180 comm="vold" name="kmsg" dev="tmpfs" ino=9248 scontext=u:r:vold:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:kmsg_device:s0 tclass=chr_file permissive=0
    
    These denials were triggered by the change in
    https://android-review.googlesource.com/151209 . Prior to that change,
    any code which called klog_init would (unnecessarily) create the
    device node themselves, rather than using the already existing device
    node.
    
    Drop special /dev/__null__ handling from watchdogd. As of
    https://android-review.googlesource.com/148288 , watchdogd no longer
    creates it's own /dev/null device, so it's unnecessary for us
    to allow for it.
    
    Drop mknod from healthd, slideshow, and watchdogd. healthd and slideshow
    only needed mknod to create /dev/__kmsg__, which is now obsolete.
    watchdogd only needed mknod to create /dev/__kmsg__ and /dev/__null__,
    which again is now obsolete.
