Add facility to limit associations that are allowed between apps.
This allows the system to be configured so that certain applications are only allowed to do top-level interactions with a hard-coded set of other applications. This provides static enforcement of certain security policies like "app A can only interact with the system and app B, and even if updated can not directly have incoming or outgoing interactions with other apps." For example to limit a the package com.google.android.as to only interact with telephony and contacts (in addition to the core system): <allow-association target="com.google.android.as" allowed="com.android.providers.telephony" /> <allow-association target="com.google.android.as" allowed="com.android.providers.contacts" /> Also improve procstats output to be able to print all associations related to a process. (I wanted to be able to do this by package, but we don't have enough data in associations. :p) Bug: 111276913 Test: Manual so far Change-Id: I61b7f2d2b5c2c3d82b278e6678b600b579b19fb7
