How to add SELinux policy on a user-debug ROM that has `split` policy scheme?

I have a Sony device that supports treble and is a system-as-root and A/B device. It has a user-debug ROM installed on it so, its adb shell is rooted.

I have disabled dm-verity using adb disable-verity after running adb root and adb remount commands.

As documented here, this device also has split policies at /system/etc/selinux(the 'plat' portion of the policy) and /vendor/etc/selinux(the 'nonplat' portion of the policy).

I am trying to run test.sh using following init script:

#/etc/init/m_daemon.rc



# define service, use executable here if script not needed

service m_daemon /system/xbin/test.sh




 # don't start unless explicitly asked to


 disabled




 # Use `seclabel u:r:magisk:s0` to run with unrestricted SELinux context to avoid avc denials


 # can also use "u:r:su:s0" on userdebug / eng builds if no Magisk.


 # It's required if SELinux is enforcing and service needs access


 # to some system resources not allowed by default sepolicy


 # seclabel u:object_r:qlogd_exec:s0


 seclabel u:r:su:s0



# start the service when the boot is completed

on property:sys.boot_completed=1


 # Use it to start the service


 start m_daemon

/system/xbin/test.sh file has the following contents:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo `date` > /sdcard/test

When the device reboot then it fails to run with the following error:

202.932913 / 11-26 20:21:04.074 audit: type=1400 audit(1574763664.074:213): avc: denied { transition } for pid=8534 comm="init" path="/system/xbin/test.sh" dev="sda24" ino=8150 scontext=u:r:init:s0 tcontext=u:r:su:s0 tclass=process permissive=0

202.933268 / 11-26 20:21:04.074 init: cannot execve('/system/xbin/test.sh'): Permission denied

To fix it, I have used sepolicy-inject and run the following commands:

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p transition -P /sys/fs/selinux/policy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p noatsecure -P /sys/fs/selinux/policy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p rlimitinh -P /sys/fs/selinux/policy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p siginh -P /sys/fs/selinux/policy -l

but these needs to be run again after reboot.

So, I have tried to patch precompiled_sepolicy using following commands:

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p transition -P /vendor/etc/selinux/precompiled_sepolicy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p noatsecure -P /vendor/etc/selinux/precompiled_sepolicy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p rlimitinh -P /vendor/etc/selinux/precompiled_sepolicy -l

sepolicy-inject -s init -t su -c process -p siginh -P /vendor/etc/selinux/precompiled_sepolicy -l

but the policies are not injected: neither live nor after reboot.

To test, I am just checking the date in /sdcard/test file.

So, I just want to know:

• Why patching precompiled_policy didn't work?


• Where to patch the required policies using rooted adb shell that should persist after a reboot?
