Currently there is no socket for daemon instances launched during the
selinux phase of init. We don't create any sockets due to the complexity
of the required sepolicy.
This workaround will allow us to create the socket with very minimal
sepolicy changes. init will launch a one-off instance of snapuserd in
"proxy" mode, and then the following steps will occur:
1. The proxy daemon will be given two sockets, the "normal" socket that
snapuserd clients would connect to, and a "proxy" socket.
2. The proxy daemon will listen on the proxy socket.
3. The first-stage daemon will wake up and connect to the proxy daemon
as a client.
4. The proxy will send the normal socket via SCM_RIGHTS, then exit.
5. The first-stage daemon can now listen and accept on the normal
socket.
Ordering of these events is achieved through a snapuserd.proxy_ready
property.
Some special-casing was needed in init to make this work. The snapuserd
socket owned by snapuserd_proxy is placed into a "persist" mode so it
doesn't get deleted when snapuserd_proxy exits. There's also a special
case method to create a Service object around a previously existing pid.
Finally, first-stage init is technically on a different updateable
partition than snapuserd. Thus, we add a way to query snapuserd to see
if it supports socket handoff. If it does, we communicate this
information through an environment variable to second-stage init.

With compressed VAB updates, it is not possible to mount /system without
first running snapuserd, which is the userspace component to the dm-user
kernel module. This poses a problem because as soon as selinux
enforcement is enabled, snapuserd (running in a kernel context) does not
have access to read and decompress the underlying system partition.
To account for this, we split SelinuxInitialize into multiple steps:
First, sepolicy is read into an in-memory string.
Second, the device-mapper tables for all snapshots are rebuilt. This
flushes any pending reads and creates new dm-user devices. The original
kernel-privileged snapuserd is then killed.
Third, sepolicy is loaded from the in-memory string.
Fourth, we re-launch snapuserd and connect it to the newly created
dm-user devices. As part of this step we restorecon device-mapper
devices and /dev/block/by-name/super, since the new snapuserd is in a
limited context.
Finally, we set enforcing mode.
This sequence ensures that snapuserd has appropriate privileges with a
minimal number of permissive audits.
