Additional comments below, but I think it would be a good idea for you
to test your patches on a more traditional Linux distribution as well
as Android.

Did you try calling the existing security_sk_clone() hook here?  I
would be curious to hear why it doesn't work in this case.

Feel free to educate me on AF_VSOCK, it's entirely possible I'm
misunderstanding something here :)

If you are using selinux_conn_sid() with the second argument always
SECSID_NULL it probably isn't the best choice; it ends up doing a
simple "sksec_new->sid = sksec_sock->sid" ... which gets us back to
this function looking like a reimplementation of
selinux_sk_clone_security(), minus the peer_sid and sclass
initializations (which should be important things to have).

I strongly suggest you try making use of the existing
security_sk_clone() hook in the vsock code, it seems like a better way
to solve this problem.
