// P0 spike A - the Android delivery chain for a second native executable.
//
// The disaggregated design (PLAN-B.md §8.1, inheriting PLAN.md §11.1-§11.6) needs a
// second process on Android. Android has no exec-able install location an application
// can write to, so the only supported way to ship an executable inside an APK is to
// name it lib*.so, let the packager put it in lib/<abi>/ and exec it out of
// getApplicationInfo().nativeLibraryDir. Whether that actually works from the app's own
// untrusted_app SELinux domain - as opposed to from an adb `run-as` shell, which runs in
// a different domain and proves nothing - is the question this spike answers.
//
// This binary is deliberately the smallest thing that can answer it: it prints one line
// describing the process it ended up being (pid, uid, and its own SELinux context) to
// stdout and writes the same line to the file named by argv[1], then exits 0. The parent
// reads both back; see RunSpawnSpike() in
// android-plugin/app/src/trace/cpp/trace_replay_core.cpp.
//
// It is built only when MOBILEGL_BUILD_SERVER_SPIKE=ON on an ANDROID configure, so it is
// absent from every shipping build. It is not the future server, and nothing links it.

    // application process really did exec this file; anything else (shell, adb, a platform
    // domain) means the test was run the wrong way and its verdict does not transfer.
