Certain pm.* properties, which are especially needed for
Go-targets, are not listed in property_contexts.
Init will not be able to set these properties on bootup
without the correct selinux contexts assigned to the
properties.
BUG: 111738816
Test: In selinux-enforcing mode, on bootup, these
properties are now correctly set by init.

/cache/overlay directory in support of overlayfs mounts on userdebug
and eng devices. Overlayfs in turn can be capable of supporting
adb remount for read-only or restricted-storage filesystems like
squashfs or right-sized (zero free space) system partitions
respectively.
Test: compile

Text relocation support was removed from the linker for apps targeting
API >= 23. See
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/android-changes-for-ndk-developers.md#text-relocations-enforced-for-api-level-23
However, the security policy was not updated to remove the execmod
permission at that time, since we didn't have support for targeting
SELinux policies to API versions.
Remove execmod permissions for apps targeting API 26 or greater. The
linker support was removed, so it's pointless to keep around the SELinux
permissions.
Retain execmod support for apps targeting API 25 or lower. While in
theory we could remove support for API 23-25, that would involve the
introduction of a new SELinux domain (and the associated rule
explosion), which I would prefer to avoid.
This change helps protect application executable code from modification,
enforcing W^X properties on executable code pages loaded from files.

Test: auditallow rules were added and nothing triggered for apps
targeting API >= 26. Code compiles and device boots.

/vendor/bin/bcc being a dependency of renderscript should be labeled as
same_process_hal_file. To facilitate that we relax neverallow rules for
executing same_process_hal_file from coredomain.

Kernels above 4.14 have a new mmap permission. However, neverallow rules
exclude the use of mmap, even when file FDs are passable across the
vendor/non-vendor boundary. Since we allow reading / writing of passed
file descriptors, also allow the use of mmap for passed file
descriptors.

Executing files from an application home directory violates
W^X (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%5EX) constraints (loading executable code
from a writable file) and is an unsafe application behavior. Test to see if we
can get rid of it and establish some baseline metrics.
Test: device boots and no obvious problems.
