Access to HALs from untrusted apps is blacklist-based
Before this change, access to HALs from untrusted apps was prohibited
except for the whitelisted ones like the gralloc HAL, the renderscript
HAL, etc. As a result, any HAL that is added by partners can't be
accessed from apps. This sometimes is a big restriction for them when
they want to access their own HALs in the same-process HALs running in
apps. Although this is a vendor-to-vendor communication and thus is not
a Treble violation, that was not allowed because their HALs are not in
the whitelist in AOSP.
This change fixes the problem by doing the access control in the
opposite way; access to HALs are restricted only for the blacklisted
ones.
All the hwservice context that were not in the whitelist are now put
to blacklist.
This change also removes the neverallow rule for the binder access to
the halserverdomain types. This is not needed as the protected
hwservices living in the HAL processes are already not accessible; we
have a neverallow rule for preventing hwservice_manager from finding
those protected hwservices from untrusted apps.
