Currently, a transaction to context manager from its own process
is prevented by checking if its binder_proc struct is the same as
that of the sender. However, this would not catch cases where the
process opens the binder device again and uses the new fd to send
a transaction to the context manager.

The buffer copy functions assumed the caller would ensure
correct alignment and that the memory to be copied was
completely within the binder buffer. There have been
a few cases discovered by syzkallar where a malformed

An munmap() on a binder device causes binder_vma_close() to be called
which clears the alloc->vma pointer.
If direct reclaim causes binder_alloc_free_page() to be called, there
is a race where alloc->vma is read into a local vma pointer and then
used later after the mm->mmap_sem is acquired. This can result in
calling zap_page_range() with an invalid vma which manifests as a
use-after-free in zap_page_range().
The fix is to check alloc->vma after acquiring the mmap_sem (which we
were acquiring anyway) and skip zap_page_range() if it has changed
to NULL.

Since binderfs can be mounted by userns root in non-initial user namespaces
some precautions are in order. First, a way to set a maximum on the number
of binder devices that can be allocated per binderfs instance and second, a
way to reserve a reasonable chunk of binderfs devices for the initial ipc
namespace.
A first approach as seen in [1] used sysctls similiar to devpts but was
shown to be flawed (cf. [2] and [3]) since some aspects were unneeded. This
is an alternative approach which avoids sysctls completely and instead
switches to a single mount option.
Starting with this commit binderfs instances can be mounted with a limit on
the number of binder devices that can be allocated. The max=<count> mount
option serves as a per-instance limit. If max=<count> is set then only
<count> number of binder devices can be allocated in this binderfs
instance.
This allows to safely bind-mount binderfs instances into unprivileged user
namespaces since userns root in a non-initial user namespace cannot change
the mount option as long as it does not own the mount namespace the
binderfs mount was created in and hence cannot drain the host of minor
device numbers

When currently mounting binderfs in the same ipc namespace twice:
mount -t binder binder /A
mount -t binder binder /B
then the binderfs instances mounted on /A and /B will be the same, i.e.
they will have the same superblock. This was the first approach that seemed
reasonable. However, this leads to some problems and inconsistencies:
/* private binderfs instance in same ipc namespace */
There is no way for a user to request a private binderfs instance in the
same ipc namespace.
This request has been made in a private mail to me by two independent
people.
/* bind-mounts */
If users want the same binderfs instance to appear in multiple places they
can use bind mounts. So there is no value in having a request for a new
binderfs mount giving them the same instance.
/* unexpected behavior */
It's surprising that request to mount binderfs is not giving the user a new
instance like tmpfs, devpts, ramfs, and others do.
/* past mistakes */
Other pseudo-filesystems once made the same mistakes of giving back the
same superblock when actually requesting a new mount (cf. devpts's
deprecated "newinstance" option).
We should not make the same mistake. Once we've committed to always giving
back the same superblock in the same IPC namespace with the next kernel
release we will not be able to make that change so better to do it now.
/* kdbusfs */
It was pointed out to me that kdbusfs - which is conceptually closely
related to binderfs - also allowed users to get a private kdbusfs instance
in the same IPC namespace by making each mount of kdbusfs a separate
instance. I think that makes a lot of sense.

As discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference 2018 in Vancouver [1] this is the
implementation of binderfs.
/* Abstract */
binderfs is a backwards-compatible filesystem for Android's binder ipc
mechanism. Each ipc namespace will mount a new binderfs instance. Mounting
binderfs multiple times at different locations in the same ipc namespace
will not cause a new super block to be allocated and hence it will be the
same filesystem instance.
Each new binderfs mount will have its own set of binder devices only
visible in the ipc namespace it has been mounted in. All devices in a new
binderfs mount will follow the scheme binder%d and numbering will always
start at 0.
/* Backwards compatibility */
Devices requested in the Kconfig via CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES for the
initial ipc namespace will work as before. They will be registered via
misc_register() and appear in the devtmpfs mount. Specifically, the
standard devices binder, hwbinder, and vndbinder will all appear in their
standard locations in /dev. Mounting or unmounting the binderfs mount in
the initial ipc namespace will have no effect on these devices, i.e. they
will neither show up in the binderfs mount nor will they disappear when the
binderfs mount is gone.
/* binder-control */
Each new binderfs instance comes with a binder-control device. No other
devices will be present at first. The binder-control device can be used to
dynamically allocate binder devices. All requests operate on the binderfs
mount the binder-control device resides in.
Assuming a new instance of binderfs has been mounted at /dev/binderfs
via mount -t binderfs binderfs /dev/binderfs. Then a request to create a
new binder device can be made as illustrated in [2].
Binderfs devices can simply be removed via unlink().
/* Implementation details */
- dynamic major number allocation:
When binderfs is registered as a new filesystem it will dynamically
allocate a new major number. The allocated major number will be returned
in struct binderfs_device when a new binder device is allocated.
- global minor number tracking:
Minor are tracked in a global idr struct that is capped at
BINDERFS_MAX_MINOR. The minor number tracker is protected by a global
mutex. This is the only point of contention between binderfs mounts.
- struct binderfs_info:
Each binderfs super block has its own struct binderfs_info that tracks
specific details about a binderfs instance:
- ipc namespace
- dentry of the binder-control device
- root uid and root gid of the user namespace the binderfs instance
was mounted in
- mountable by user namespace root:
binderfs can be mounted by user namespace root in a non-initial user
namespace. The devices will be owned by user namespace root.
- binderfs binder devices without misc infrastructure:
New binder devices associated with a binderfs mount do not use the
full misc_register() infrastructure.
The misc_register() infrastructure can only create new devices in the
host's devtmpfs mount. binderfs does however only make devices appear
under its own mountpoint and thus allocates new character device nodes
from the inode of the root dentry of the super block. This will have
the side-effect that binderfs specific device nodes do not appear in
sysfs. This behavior is similar to devpts allocated pts devices and
has no effect on the functionality of the ipc mechanism itself.

44d8047f1d ("binder: use standard functions to allocate fds")
exposed a pre-existing issue in the binder driver.
fdget() is used in ksys_ioctl() as a performance optimization.
One of the rules associated with fdget() is that ksys_close() must
not be called between the fdget() and the fdput(). There is a case
where this requirement is not met in the binder driver which results
in the reference count dropping to 0 when the device is still in
use. This can result in use-after-free or other issues.
If userpace has passed a file-descriptor for the binder driver using
a BINDER_TYPE_FDA object, then kys_close() is called on it when
handling a binder_ioctl(BC_FREE_BUFFER) command. This violates
the assumptions for using fdget().
The problem is fixed by deferring the close using task_work_add(). A
new variant of __close_fd() was created that returns a struct file
with a reference. The fput() is deferred instead of using ksys_close().

When dumping out binder transactions via a debug node,
the output is too verbose if a process has many nodes.
Change the output for transaction dumps to only display
nodes with pending async transactions.

We already have the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE.There is no need to define
such a macro,so remove BINDER_DEBUG_ENTRY.

Add __acquire()/__release() annnotations to fix warnings
in sparse context checking
There is one case where the warning was due to a lack of
a "default:" case in a switch statement where a lock was
being released in each of the cases, so the default
case was added.
