安卓SystemProperties.set()方法权限问题

对于系统中的每个进程来说：

读取属性值对任何进程都是没有限制的，直接由本进程从共享区域中读取。

修改属性值则必须通过Init进程完成，同时Init进程还需要检查发起请求的进程是否具有相应的权限。

从上面代码可以看出，有一个白名单列表来判断应用是否有权限来设置属性。一般是uid为AID_SYSTEM的系统级应用才有权限设置属性，而且属性名字前缀也要匹配白名单，比如persist.sys.开头。

去掉白名单机制，引入selinux，通过selinux来控制权限访问。如果selinux关闭，则任何应用都可以设置，不再限定系统应用。（但selinux可以设置只放行系统级应用）。

例子参考：system.prop添加自己的字段
