<<Sorry re-sending in plan text >> Hi team , On android- with latest kernels 4.14 we are seeing some denials which seem to be very much genuine to be address . Where kernel is trying to kill its own created process ( might be for maintenance) . These are seen in long Stress testing . But I dont see any one adding such rule in general so the question is do we see any risk which made us not to add such rules ? 1. avc: denied { kill } for pid=2432 comm="irq/66-90b6300." capability=5 scontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tcontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 2. avc: denied { kill } for pid=69 comm="rcuop/6" capability=5 scontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tcontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 3. avc: denied { kill } for pid=0 comm="swapper/1" capability=5 scontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tcontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 4. avc: denied { kill } for pid=4185 comm="kworker/0:4" capability=5 scontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tcontext=u:r:kernel:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 This is self capability any one in kernel context should be able to do such operations I guess.
