The most common cause of the binder transaction buffer filling up is a
client rapidly firing oneway transactions into a process, before it has
a chance to handle them. Yet the root cause of this is often hard to
debug, because either the system or the app will stop, and by that time
binder debug information we dump in bugreports is no longer relevant.
This change warns as soon as a process dips below 80% of its oneway
space (less than 100kB available in the configuration), when any one
process is responsible for either more than 50 transactions, or more
than 50% of the oneway space.

Fixes sparse issues reported by the kbuild test robot running
on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
char-misc-testing: bde4a19fc0 ("binder: use userspace pointer as base
of buffer space")
Error output (drivers/android/binder_alloc_selftest.c):
sparse: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
sparse: expected void *page_addr
sparse: got void [noderef] <asn:1> *user_data
sparse: error: subtraction of different types can't work
Fixed by adding necessary "__user" tags.

Now that alloc->buffer points to the userspace vm_area
rename buffer->data to buffer->user_data and rename
local pointers that hold user addresses. Also use the
"__user" tag to annotate all user pointers so sparse
can flag cases where user pointer vaues are copied to
kernel pointers. Refactor code to use offsets instead
of user pointers.

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.

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.

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.
