###
# HALs are defined as an attribute and so a given domain could hypothetically
# have multiple HALs in it (or even all of them) with the subsequent policy of
# the domain comprised of the union of all the HALs.
#
# This is a problem because
# 1) Security sensitive components should only be accessed by specific HALs.
# 2) hwbinder_call and the restrictions it provides cannot be reasoned about in
#    the platform.
# 3) The platform cannot reason about defense in depth if there are
#    monolithic domains etc.
#
# As an example, hal_keymaster and hal_gatekeeper can access the TEE and while
# its OK for them to share a process its not OK with them to share processes
# with other hals.
#
# The following neverallow rules, in conjuntion with CTS tests, assert that
# these security principles are adhered to.
#
# Do not allow a hal to exec another process without a domain transition.
# TODO remove exemptions.
