Fix compile time / CTS gps_data_files neverallow assertion · 480374e4

Nick Kralevich authored 10 years ago

Currently, zygote spawned apps are prohibited from modifying GPS
data files. If someone tries to allow GPS access to any app domain,
it generates a compile time / CTS exception.

Relax the rules slightly for system_app. These apps run with UID=system,
and shouldn't be banned from handling gps data files.

This change doesn't add or remove any SELinux rules. Rather, it just
relaxes a compile time assertion, allow partners to create SELinux
rules allowing the access if they desire.
