Thanks, that's a good place to start, a few comments:

- While we support Android as a distribution, it isn't a platform that
we common use for development and testing. At the moment, Fedora is
probably your best choice for that.

- Your test program should be written in vanilla C for the
selinux-testsuite. Looking at the userfaultfdSimple.cc code that
should be a trivial conversion.

- I think you have a good start on a test for the selinux-testsuite,
please take a look at the test suite and submit a patch against that
repo. Ondrej (CC'd) currently maintains the test suite and he may
have some additional thoughts.
