When the target process is busy, incoming oneway transactions are
queued in the async_todo list. If the clients continue sending extra
oneway transactions while the target process is frozen, this queue can
become too large to accommodate new transactions. That's why binder
driver introduced ONEWAY_SPAM_DETECTION to detect this situation. It's
helpful to debug the async binder buffer exhausting issue, but the
issue itself isn't solved directly.
In real cases applications are designed to send oneway transactions
repeatedly, delivering updated inforamtion to the target process.
Typical examples are Wi-Fi signal strength and some real time sensor
data. Even if the apps might only care about the lastet information,
all outdated oneway transactions are still accumulated there until the
frozen process is thawed later. For this kind of situations, there's
no existing method to skip those outdated transactions and deliver the
latest one only.
This patch introduces a new transaction flag TF_UPDATE_TXN. To use it,
use apps can set this new flag along with TF_ONE_WAY. When such an
oneway transaction is to be queued into the async_todo list of a frozen
process, binder driver will check if any previous pending transactions
can be superseded by comparing their code, flags and target node. If
such an outdated pending transaction is found, the latest transaction
will supersede that outdated one. This effectively prevents the async
binder buffer running out and saves unnecessary binder read workloads.

Since the original trace_binder_transaction_received cannot
precisely present the real finished time of transaction, adding a
trace_binder_txn_latency_free at the point of free transaction
may be more close to it.

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.

Binder uses internal fs interfaces to allocate and install fds:
__alloc_fd
__fd_install
__close_fd
get_files_struct
put_files_struct
These were used to support the passing of fds between processes
as part of a transaction. The actual allocation and installation
of the fds in the target process was handled by the sending
process so the standard functions, alloc_fd() and fd_install()
which assume task==current couldn't be used.
This patch refactors this mechanism so that the fds are
allocated and installed by the target process allowing the
standard functions to be used.
The sender now creates a list of fd fixups that contains the
struct *file and the address to fixup with the new fd once
it is allocated. This list is processed by the target process
when the transaction is dequeued.
A new error case is introduced by this change. If an async
transaction with file descriptors cannot allocate new
fds in the target (probably due to out of file descriptors),
the transaction is discarded with a log message. In the old
implementation this would have been detected in the sender
context and failed prior to sending.

Once locks are added, binder_ref's will only be accessed
safely with the proc lock held. Refactor the inc/dec paths
to make them atomic with the binder_get_ref* paths and
node inc/dec. For example, instead of:
ref = binder_get_ref(proc, handle, strong);
...
binder_dec_ref(ref, strong);
we now have:
ret = binder_dec_ref_for_handle(proc, handle, strong, &rdata);
Since the actual ref is no longer exposed to callers, a
new struct binder_ref_data is introduced which can be used
to return a copy of ref state.

The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter
what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so
might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no
real work that needs to be done to the existing code.
