Send property_service AVC messages to the kernel audit system
The property service uses an SELinux userspace check to determine if a process is allowed to set a property. If the security check fails, a userspace SELinux denial is generated. Currently, these denials are only sent to dmesg. Instead of sending these denials to dmesg, send it to the kernel audit system. This will cause these userspace denials to be treated similarly to kernel generated denials (eg, logd will pick them up and process them). This will ensure that denials generated by the property service will show up in logcat / dmesg / event log. After this patch, running "setprop asdf asdf" from the unprivileged adb shell user will result in the following audit message: type=1107 audit(39582851.013:48): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=u:r:init:s0 msg='avc: denied { set } for property=asdf pid=5537 uid=2000 gid=2000 scontext=u:r:shell:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:default_prop:s0 tclass=property_service' Test: manual Bug: 27878170 Change-Id: I0b8994888653501f2f315eaa63d9e2ba32d851ef
