Map the permission gating RTM_GETNEIGH/RTM_GETNEIGHTBL messages to a
new permission so that it can be distinguished from the other netlink
route permissions in selinux policy. The new permission is triggered by
a flag set in system images T and up.
This change is intended to be backported to all kernels that a T system
image can run on top of.
Bug: 171572148
Test: atest NetworkInterfaceTest
Test: atest CtsSelinuxTargetSdkCurrentTestCases
Test: atest bionic-unit-tests-static
Test: On Cuttlefish, run combinations of:
- Policy bit set or omitted (see https://r.android.com/1701847)
- This patch applied or omitted
- App having nlmsg_readneigh permission or not
Verify that only the combination of this patch + the policy bit being
set + the app not having the nlmsg_readneigh permission prevents the
app from sending RTM_GETNEIGH messages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
