1This fork of Android differs in the following ways:
2 - README.android
3 - All Android.mk and Android.bp files
4 - ALL MODULE_LICENSE_* files
5 - libselinux/include/selinux/android.h
6 - libselinux/src/android/android.c
7
8All other changes should be upstreamed to selinux as
9Android no longer carries changes outside of those files.
10
11The upstream project can be found at:
12https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux
13
14Thus, since all changes are in separate files, updates merged from
15upstream should occur with no merge conflicts.

17This fork differs from upstream libselinux in at least the following ways:
18
19* The Android fork omits compiling many of the src files and specifies
20  custom build configurations. The exact details, are encoded in the
21  Android.bp and Android.mk files.
22
23* The SELinux policy files are all located in / rather than under
24  /etc/selinux since /etc is not available in Android until /system
25  is mounted and use fixed paths, not dependent on /etc/selinux/config.
26
27* The kernel policy file (sepolicy in Android, policy.N in Linux) does
28  not include a version suffix since Android does not need to support
29  booting multiple kernels.
30
31* The policy loading logic does not support automatic downgrading of
32  the kernel policy file to a version known to the kernel, since this
33  requires libsepol on the device and is only needed to support mixing
34  and matching kernels and userspace easily.
35
36* restorecon functionality, including recursive restorecon, has been
37  been upstreamed as selinux_restorecon(), but there are residual
38  differences between it and selinux_android_restorecon().
39
40* Support for seapp_contexts, a new Android-specific SELinux
41  configuration file has been added within android.c.
