This change is part of a topic that moves the recovery resources from the
system partition to the vendor partition, if it exists, or the vendor directory
on the system partition otherwise. The recovery resources are moving from the
system image to the vendor partition so that a single system image may be used
with either an A/B or a non-A/B vendor image. The topic removes a delta in the
system image that prevented such reuse in the past.
The recovery resources that are moving are involved with updating the recovery
partition after an update. In a non-A/B configuration, the system boots from
the recovery partition, updates the other partitions (system, vendor, etc.)
Then, the next time the system boots normally, a script updates the recovery
partition (if necessary). This script, the executables it invokes, and the data
files that it uses were previously on the system partition. The resources that
are moving include the following.
* install-recovery.sh
* applypatch
* recovery-resource.dat (if present)
* recovery-from-boot.p (if present)
This change includes the sepolicy changes to move the recovery resources from
system to vendor. The big change is renaming install_recovery*.te to
vendor_install_recovery*.te to emphasize the move to vendor. Other changes
follow from that. The net result is that the application of the recovery patch
has the same permissions that it had when it lived in system.
Bug: 68319577
Test: Ensure that recovery partition is updated correctly.
