FAILED sepolicy check - Android Pie building - "core_data_file_type" attribute

I've been trying to compile Resurrection Remix Pie for xiaomi mi Max 3 (nitrogen) and am facing an error I am finding myself unable to resolve. After previously fixing some other sepolicy fails, I encounter this one:
FAILED: /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/sepolicy_tests_intermediates/sepolicy_tests
/bin/bash -c "(/home/albertoduqe/rr/out/host/linux-x86/bin/sepolicy_tests -l /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/host/linux-x86/lib64/libsepolwrap.so -f /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/plat_file_contexts_intermediates/plat_file_contexts -f /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/vendor_file_contexts_intermediates/vendor_file_contexts -p /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/sepolicy ) && (touch /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/sepolicy_tests_intermediates/sepolicy_tests )"
The following types on /data/ must be associated with the "core_data_file_type" attribute: fingerprint_data_file
I then go to my device tree, open file.te (in sepolicy/vendor folder in this case), and att the specified type to the given attribute, so that it now looks like this:
type fingerprint_data_file, file_type, data_file_type, core_data_file_type;
And build again. Now it comes the funny part: fails again with this error:
FAILED: /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0_intermediates/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0
/bin/bash -c "(/home/albertoduqe/rr/out/host/linux-x86/bin/treble_sepolicy_tests -l /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/host/linux-x86/lib64/libsepolwrap.so -f /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/plat_file_contexts_intermediates/plat_file_contexts -f /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/vendor_file_contexts_intermediates/vendor_file_contexts -b /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/built_plat_sepolicy_intermediates/built_plat_sepolicy -m /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0_intermediates/26.0_mapping.combined.cil -o /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0_intermediates/built_26.0_plat_sepolicy -p /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/sepolicy --fake-treble ) && (touch /home/albertoduqe/rr/out/target/product/nitrogen/obj/ETC/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0_intermediates/treble_sepolicy_tests_26.0 )"
The following types on /data/vendor/ /data/vendor_ce/ /data/vendor_de/ must not be associated with the "core_data_file_type" attribute: fingerprint_data_file
And it all starts all over again.
I am no developer or expert, although I have been compiling custom roms for android devices for a while. I had never encountered something like this.
How come the attribute fingerprint_data_file must have the core_data_file_type in /data/ but not in /data/vendor/ /data/vendor_ce/ /data/vendor_de/? What are those anyway?
Any hint will be most appreciated!

How to fix cp issue during build with ninja?

I am currently compiling a custom recovery for an android phone. Sources are synced, device tree etc. all set up correctly. Now I am facing a rather banal-looking error during build. cp refuses to copy a directory, because -r is not specified in the build file.
I obviously tried to find the build file (rw_recovery/out/build_omni_daisy.ninja) and add the -r argument, but it seems to be regenerated at the beginning of every build process, as the process still fails and the previously changed line appears unchanged when opening the file after the attempted build.
These are the build steps:
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch omni_daisy-eng #config for the device
mka bootimage #device uses boot.img as recovery
This command leaves me with the following error:
[ 99% 6883/6884] Prebuilt (rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/kernel)
FAILED: rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/kernel
/bin/bash -c "(rm -f /home/luca/rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/kernel) && (cp rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/arch/arm64/boot/ rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/kernel )"
cp: -r not specified; omitting directory 'rw_recovery/out/target/product/daisy/obj/KERNEL_OBJ/arch/arm64/boot/'
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
17:13:06 ninja failed with: exit status 1
I would love to hear any suggestions about how to force ninja to execute the command with -r. Alternatively, suggestions about where to find the file from which the above mentioned build file is recreated after executing mka command are much welcomed as well.

Native Code coverage with android soong build system

I'm trying to generate code coverage report for my native components with AOSP source code using soong build system.
I have extended aosp vhal but unit test cases are same as in below link.
http://androidxref.com/8.1.0_r33/xref/hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/tests/
Tried adding below to cc_test, cc_binary in Android.bp
native_coverage : true,
cflags: [
"-g",
"-O0",
"-fprofile-arcs",
"-ftest-coverage",
],
ldflags : [
"-fprofile-arcs",
"-ftest-coverage",
],
Native binary unit-tests-coverage is generated in out/target/product but I can't find gcno intermediates for this.
Running below command gives me *.gcda files for each test files.
adb shell \
GCOV_PREFIX=/data/local/tmp \
GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP=`echo $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP | grep -o / | wc -l` \
/data/local/tmp/unit-tests-coverage
I have tried below links but not sure how to proceed :(
http://logan.tw/posts/2015/04/28/check-code-coverage-with-clang-and-lcov/
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic.git/+/master-soong

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/development/+/master/scripts/acov#23
http://androidxref.com/9.0.0_r3/xref/bionic/README.md#293
I'm not sure if google's vts framework can be used here to generate native code coverage.
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/android-vts-8/#6
"gcnodir" is generated but not sure how to make use of it.
/coverage/data/nativetest64/vehicle-unit-tests-coverage/unit-tests-coverage.gcnodir

Posting answer to my question for other users on SO.
Install coverage tool :
sudo apt-get install lcov (This should install lcov-1.12)
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6 (Clang generates .gcno approximately equal to gcc 4.2 that aren't compatible
with gcov-4.8. Installing gcc-4.6 to get gcov-4.6 and invoking lcov with '--gcov-tool /usr/bin/gcov-4.6')
Download LLVM 3.8 for llvm-cov to work : http://releases.llvm.org/download.html
All native unit test cases i.e instrumented binary needs to be executed on target. To build and emit clang's instrumentation based profiling. Example: http://androidxref.com/9.0.0_r3/xref/hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/Android.bp#82 (Renamed to vehicle-manager-unit-test for shorter name)
export NATIVE_COVERAGE=true
Add native_coverage: true to test module in Android.bp
Go to: module-name/test
Use mm or make command to build native binary
Ex: For hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/tests/ :
mma or make vehicle-manager-unit-test -j32
Copy coverage enabled instrumented binary to target
adb push out/target/product/product_name/data/nativetest64/vendor/vehicle-manager-unit-test /data/nativetest64/vehicle-manager-unit-test
adb shell chmod +x /data/nativetest64/vehicle-manager-unit-test
Run test cases and generate .gcda files
adb shell \
GCOV_PREFIX=/data/local/tmp \
GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP=echo $ANDROID_BUILD_TOP | grep -o / | wc -l \
/data/nativetest64/vehicle-manager-unit-test
adb shell find -iname *.gcda
adb pull /data/local/tmp/proc/self/cwd/out/soong/.intermediates/hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/vehicle-manager-unit-test/android_x86_64_silvermont_vendor_cov/obj/hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/2.0/default/tests/ .(Destination folder)
Extract GCNO files from GCNODIR (archive file generated at
out/overage/data/nativetest64/vendor/vehicle-manager-unit-test ) to
same folder with GCDA files
llvm-cov gcov -f -b *.gcda (https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-cov.html )
lcov --directory . --base-directory . --gcov-tool /usr/bin/gcov-4.6 --capture -o cov.info (http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php)
genhtml cov.info -o output
Here's the script which wraps all these commands:
https://gist.github.com/pankajgangwar/f070b8b54e83543f8e3638dcd2cae1b8

here it is explaned how to generate coverage reports, which do require GTest:
these flags enable the generation of test coverage: -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage
then one has to use gcov: gcov main_test.cpp
which's output then can be passed on to lcov (for reference):
$ lcov --coverage --directory . --output-file main_coverage.info
from which one can generate an lcov coverage report in HTML format:
$ genhtml main_coverage.info --output-directory out
these .gcda files in .gcnodir are gcov data files. gcov also has an output option --json-format, which might come handy when wanting to consume the coverage data with a web-service.
one of the examples from the links you've provided can be used to generate it for a whole project:
Collect the code coverage results:
$ lcov --directory . \
--base-directory . \
--gcov-tool gcov.sh \
--capture -o cov.info
Generate HTML files:
$ genhtml cov.info -o output
where the only difference is, that the wrapper script would need to be adjusted to call gcov. probably one could even omit the wrapper passed with option --gcov-tool, since it should be directly called.
since one can only prepare the coverage report by adding the compiler flags, the gcov and lcov commands should be setup as post-build script, so that they would automatically generate the report.

Creating APK from Kivy on Mac OS X fails after compile

My background is in HTML/JS, so compiling is new for me. While attempting to build my python project in Kivy to an Android .apk, I am getting an error I do not understand:

OK, I came across the answer to my own problem a while ago and I'm posting it here in case someone else makes the same boneheaded mistake. Basically, I did not read the instructions carefully enough in the documentation. The instructions clearly state "navigate to your project directory and run: buildozer init". I did not navigate to the project folder. I was building in my user directory, hence "/Users/Travis/". Hence the "No such file or directory" error.
You may be asking "How do you expect buildozer to know where your project is?"
Well, the next step says to configure "buildozer.spec", and in there, there is a place to put your path to the main.py, which by default is ".", so I changed that. It actually worked up to the point that it has to write any files.
So, if you're having the same issue as me, you might just need to read more carefully.

How do you create a loadable kernel module for Android?

I know there a number of walkthroughs and tutorials floating around out there which describe this activity, but after having read many of them I still can't get this working. If anyone has the patience to wade through the steps I've taken (posted below) and suggest where I may have gone off track I'd be very appreciative. I've spent about a day and a half staring at make files and reading walkthroughs so literally any suggestions would be helpful.
Environment:
I'm using an Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit vm.
I'm hosting from a 64 bit windows 7
My Core 2 Duo does not have the hardware support for 64 bit VMs so i'm trying to compile against Android 2.1 kernel
I have installed Java 1.5 from the Dapper repo and removed my 1.6 installation
The rest of the tooling has been acquired according the Android dev documentation...
As per Initializing a Build Environment:
Java:
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main multiverse"
$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main multiverse"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
Other required:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libreadline5-dev libz-dev libgl1-mesa-dev
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-i386 libc6-dev-i386
Then from Downloading the Source Tree:
Repo:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
$ mkdir WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ cd WORKING_DIRECTORY
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b eclair
$ repo sync
$ gpg --import (imported the huge key)
And from Building the System:
Initialize:
$ source build/envsetup.sh
Choose a Target:
$ lunch generic-user
Build the Code:
$ make -j4

Output of make -j4:

So it turns out i've got some problems here. I assume that once i've overcome these issues, i'll have an environment capable of compiling kernel modules. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
Next I head into my directory containing my module.c file and it's makefile. Contents of makefile below:
obj-m += mymodule.o
CROSS_COMPILE=~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi-
KERNEL_DIR ?= /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY
VERSION = v1.1
all:
make -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) modules
rm -rf *.c~
rm -rf *.mod*
rm -rf *.o
clean:
make -C $(KERNEL_DIR) M=$(PWD) clean
I have very little experience with make and makefiles, but this looked reasonable to me. My main concern with this file is the KERNEL-DIR variable. I tried a few different values for that variable, but got all sorts of errors where I do not with it's current value. Of course, it could still be wrong, so any comments here are welcome.
So, as far as I know, I should be able to execute make with no args or anything and will figure out what it needs to do. I have tried make, make -f both with and without sudo. All four permutations yield the same results:
make -C /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY M=/home/<myuser>/Desktop/<MyModuleDir> ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- modules

You'll notice a few screwy warnings, but as best as I can tell, they are not real problems. If anyone feels differently about these, please say so.

I guess that last line sounds pretty suspicious but I have no idea what to do about it. Apart from the few strange things i've mentioned, it would appear that this all went smoothly. However, after the whole thing completes, I can't find the *.ko file anywere. I did a ls -alRg | grep *.ko on my home directory and it turns up nothing. I'm stumped. If I can provide any more information or run any tests or try anything differently i'll be checking in frequently.

Sorry for being late, but hope it helps:
http://tthtlc.wordpress.com/2011/12/29/how-to-write-a-kernel-module-on-android-sony-ericsson-xperia-arc-s/
I wrote and tested the code on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S and it works (in general in should work for any Android phone).
Connecting via adb and USB, and “su” to root, the “lsmod” listed all the kernel module (in general, the article at
http://web.archive.org/web/20121106004141/http://developer.sonymobile.com/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel gave a very good coverage of what to do in Linux kernel compilation for SonyEricsson phone):
lsmod
android_module 654 0 - Live 0x7f007000 (P)
sdio 16532 0 - Live 0x7f000000
“android_module” was the one I had inserted via insmod android_module.ko.
Here’s how to do it:
First the original program was copied from:
http://rechtzeit.wordpress.com/2011/03/21/77/
Or reproduced as follows:
android_module.c:
#include"linux/module.h"
#include"linux/kernel.h"
//replace the "" with angular brackets
int init_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Hello android kernel...\n");
return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)
{
printk(KERN_INFO "Goodbye android kernel...\n");
}
Makefile:
obj-m += android_module.o
all:
make -C /home/tteikhua/android/sony_ericsson_src/58/kernel/ M=$(PWD) modules
clean:
make -C /home/tteikhua/android/sony_ericsson_src/58/kernel/ M=$(PWD) clean
The directory where the kernel is located (“-C” above) is where kernel is located.
And the following command will use the Makefile from above:
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- make
As shown above, the cross compiler I had used is from CodeSourcery.
And after insmod android_module.ko you can see the debugging message in dmesg output:

And the “Goodbye” is when rmmod android_module is executed. In between are debugging message from other components in the kernel.
Final words:
The above are written in 2011, for more modern resources, please refe to the following to get started:
https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/modular-kernels

https://source.android.com/docs/core/architecture/kernel/loadable-kernel-modules

I think I've red that emulator kernel does not support module, so you must compile also the kernel with modules support.
I hope that this link will help you

There are two things you'll need to do. Firstly, create an emulator kernel that supports loadable kernel modules.
There's a comprehensive post here covering the process of setting up the emulator kernel.
There are 2 parts of the instructions to alter:
I find it easiest to keep the kernel within the repo area (in this case, ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY), like so:
cd ~/WORKING_DIRECTORY
mkdir kernel
cd kernel
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git
The branch information is no longer correct, however, so where it says:
git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-2.6.29 -b goldfish
use this instead:
git checkout -t archive/android-gldfish-2.6.29 -b goldfish
As you've found out, the kernel by default is not configured with loadable module support. Enable before compiling. After, this step:
make ARCH=arm goldfish_defconfig
do this:
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
A text-based menu will show up. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate, Space to select an option, Enter to expand a menu (menus have --->) at the end of the line, and Esc-Esc to go back a menu.
Select "Enable loadable module support" by scrolling down and hitting Space
Hit Esc-Esc to exit, and hit Enter to save the new configuration
Now build. Using your setup, it would be:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi-
Now that that's done you can do the second part, which is making a loadable kernel module. You were almost there, but because you didn't have the kernel source for the emulator, it didn't work. Just take the makefile you have and change KERNEL_DIR to:
KERNEL_DIR ?= /home/<myuser>/WORKING_DIRECTORY/kernel/common
