We originally included a warning to not invoke restorecon_recursive with a path leading to a shell-writable or app-writable directory due to concerns about the potential for mischief with symlinks during the restorecon_recursive. However, this warning was never necessary for calling restorecon_recursive during system initialization before an adb shell or app can run, and we have further prohibited init from reading/following symlinks that can be created by shell or apps in policy, so this warning is superfluous. It also contradicts current usage of restorecon_recursive in rootdir/init.rc, since it is called there on /data.

README
The system/ directory is intended for pieces of the world that are the core of the embedded linux platform at the heart of Android. These essential bits are required for basic booting, operation, and debugging. They should not depend on libraries outside of system/... (some of them do currently -- they need to be updated or changed) and they should not be required for the simulator build. The license for all these pieces should be clean (Apache2, BSD, or MIT). Currently system/bluetooth/... and system/extra/... have some pieces with GPL/LGPL licensed code. Assorted Issues: - pppd depends on libutils for logging - pppd depends on libcrypt/libcrypto - init, linker, debuggerd, toolbox, usbd depend on libcutils - should probably rename bionic to libc
