7bada55ab5 binder: fix race that allows malicious free of live buffer
Malicious code can attempt to free buffers using the BC_FREE_BUFFER
ioctl to binder. There are protections against a user freeing a buffer
while in use by the kernel, however there was a window where
BC_FREE_BUFFER could be used to free a recently allocated buffer that
was not completely initialized. This resulted in a use-after-free
detected by KASAN with a malicious test program.

This window is closed by setting the buffer's allow_user_free attribute
to 0 when the buffer is allocated or when the user has previously freed
it instead of waiting for the caller to set it. The problem was that
when the struct buffer was recycled, allow_user_free was stale and set
to 1 allowing a free to go through.

8d9a3ab6c1 ANDROID: binder: show high watermark of alloc->pages.
Show the high watermark of the index into the alloc->pages
array, to facilitate sizing the buffer on a per-process
basis.

a0c2baaf81 android: binder: Don't get mm from task
Use binder_alloc struct's mm_struct rather than getting
a reference to the mm struct through get_task_mm to
avoid a potential deadlock between lru lock, task lock and
dentry lock, since a thread can be holding the task lock
and the dentry lock while trying to acquire the lru lock.

f2517eb76f android: binder: Add global lru shrinker to binder
Hold on to the pages allocated and mapped for transaction
buffers until the system is under memory pressure. When
that happens, use linux shrinker to free pages. Without
using shrinker, patch "android: binder: Move buffer out
of area shared with user space" will cause a significant
slow down for small transactions that fit into the first
page because free list buffer header used to be inlined
with buffer data.

In addition to prevent the performance regression for
small transactions, this patch improves the performance
for transactions that take up more than one page.

Modify alloc selftest to work with the shrinker change.

Test: Run memory intensive applications (Chrome and Camera)
to trigger shrinker callbacks. Binder frees memory as expected.
Test: Run binderThroughputTest with high memory pressure
option enabled.

74310e06be android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space
Binder driver allocates buffer meta data in a region that is mapped
in user space. These meta data contain pointers in the kernel.

This patch allocates buffer meta data on the kernel heap that is
not mapped in user space, and uses a pointer to refer to the data mapped.

4175e2b46f android: binder: Add allocator selftest
binder_alloc_selftest tests that alloc_new_buf handles page allocation and
deallocation properly when allocate and free buffers. The test allocates 5
buffers of various sizes to cover all possible page alignment cases, and
frees the buffers using a list of exhaustive freeing order.

Test: boot the device with ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST config option
enabled. Allocator selftest passes.

0c972a05cd binder: move binder_alloc to separate file
Move the binder allocator functionality to its own file

Continuation of splitting the binder allocator from the binder
driver. Split binder_alloc functions from normal binder functions.
