浅谈android add_service PERMISSION DENIED问题

背景：

在Android开发中，经常会用到ServiceManager.addService(name, service);添加系统服务
也许你会很迷惑，在程序运行时，部分service name能成功添加，而部分service name会抛出如下异常：

Tag: ServiceManager
Message: add_service('xxx',xx) uid=xxxx - PERMISSION DENIED

这是Android SELinux 的policy配置引起的，在读了部分SELinux的源码之后就很容易理解这个异常了
接下来我会先给出解决办法，然后再进行分析。

解决办法：

针对不同得设备，可以在device或vendor目录下的BoardConfig.mk中使用BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS变量指定配置文件的目录；
新的service_type定义在service.te中，对应该service_type的service name定义在service_contexts中。

注： service_manager 不能add default_android_service类型的service

例如：
针对samsung tuna设备：device/samsung/tuna/BoardConfig.mk

BOARD_SEPOLICY_DIRS += device/samsung/tuna/sepolicy

device/samsung/tuna/sepolicy/service.te

type yyy,           service_manager_type

device/samsung/tuna/sepolicy/service_contexts

xxx             u:object_r:yyy:s0

这样再使用ServiceManager.addService(“xxx”, this);添加系统服务就不会抛异常了。

分析：

service_manager初始化以及ServiceManager.addService(“xxx”, this);方法调用流程：
