Binder objects are processed and copied individually into the target
buffer during transactions. Any raw data in-between these objects is
copied as well. However, this raw data copy lacks an out-of-bounds
check. If the raw data exceeds the data section size then the copy
overwrites the offsets section. This eventually triggers an error that
attempts to unwind the processed objects. However, at this point the
offsets used to index these objects are now corrupted.

Unwinding with corrupted offsets can result in decrements of arbitrary
nodes and lead to their premature release. Other users of such nodes are
left with a dangling pointer triggering a use-after-free. This issue is
made evident by the following KASAN report (trimmed):

In commit 15d9da3f818c ("binder: use bitmap for faster descriptor
lookup"), it was incorrectly assumed that references to the context
manager node should always get descriptor zero assigned to them.

However, if the context manager dies and a new process takes its place,
then assigning descriptor zero to the new context manager might lead to
collisions, as there could still be references to the older node. This
issue was reported by syzbot with the following trace:

This patch adds back the previous behavior of assigning the next
non-zero descriptor if references to previous context managers still
exist. It amends both strategies, the newer dbitmap code and also the
legacy slow_desc_lookup_olocked(), by allowing them to start looking
for available descriptors at a given offset.

With the introduction of binder_available_for_proc_work_ilocked() in
commit 1b77e9dcc3da ("ANDROID: binder: remove proc waitqueue") a binder
thread can only "wait_for_proc_work" after its thread-&gt;looper has been
marked as BINDER_LOOPER_STATE_{ENTERED|REGISTERED}.

This means an unregistered reader risks waiting indefinitely for work
since it never gets added to the proc-&gt;waiting_threads. If there are no
further references to its waitqueue either the task will hang. The same
applies to readers using the (e)poll interface.

I couldn't find the rationale behind this restriction. So this patch
restores the previous behavior of allowing unregistered threads to
"wait_for_proc_work". Note that an error message for this scenario,
which had previously become unreachable, is now re-enabled.

<content type='text'>
When creating new binder references, the driver assigns a descriptor id
that is shared with userspace. Regrettably, the driver needs to keep the
descriptors small enough to accommodate userspace potentially using them
as Vector indexes. Currently, the driver performs a linear search on the
rb-tree of references to find the smallest available descriptor id. This
approach, however, scales poorly as the number of references grows.

This patch introduces the usage of bitmaps to boost the performance of
descriptor assignments. This optimization results in notable performance
gains, particularly in processes with a large number of references. The
following benchmark with 100,000 references showcases the difference in
latency between the dbitmap implementation and the legacy approach:

  [  587.145098] get_ref_desc_olocked: 15us (dbitmap on)
  [  602.788623] get_ref_desc_olocked: 47343us (dbitmap off)

Note the bitmap size is dynamically adjusted in line with the number of
references, ensuring efficient memory usage. In cases where growing the
bitmap is not possible, the driver falls back to the slow legacy method.

A previous attempt to solve this issue was proposed in [1]. However,
such method involved adding new ioctls which isn't great, plus older
userspace code would not have benefited from the optimizations either.

The type defined for the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl was changed from
size_t to __u32 in order to avoid incompatibility issues between 32 and
64-bit kernels. However, the internal types used to copy from user and
store the value were never updated. Use u32 to fix the inconsistency.

The type defined for the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl was changed from
size_t to __u32 in order to avoid incompatibility issues between 32 and
64-bit kernels. However, the internal types used to copy from user and
store the value were never updated. Use u32 to fix the inconsistency.

<title>binder: check offset alignment in binder_get_object()</title>

Commit 6d98eb95b450 ("binder: avoid potential data leakage when copying
txn") introduced changes to how binder objects are copied. In doing so,
it unintentionally removed an offset alignment check done through calls
to binder_alloc_copy_from_buffer() -&gt; check_buffer().

These calls were replaced in binder_get_object() with copy_from_user(),
so now an explicit offset alignment check is needed here. This avoids
later complications when unwinding the objects gets harder.

It is worth noting this check existed prior to commit 7a67a39320df
("binder: add function to copy binder object from buffer"), likely
removed due to redundancy at the time.

<title>binder: signal epoll threads of self-work</title>

In (e)poll mode, threads often depend on I/O events to determine when
data is ready for consumption. Within binder, a thread may initiate a
command via BINDER_WRITE_READ without a read buffer and then make use
of epoll_wait() or similar to consume any responses afterwards.

It is then crucial that epoll threads are signaled via wakeup when they
queue their own work. Otherwise, they risk waiting indefinitely for an
event leaving their work unhandled. What is worse, subsequent commands
won't trigger a wakeup either as the thread has pending work.

That really shouldn't have "get" in there as that implies we're bumping
the reference count which we don't do at all. We used to but not anmore.
Now we're just closing the fd and pick that file from the fdtable
without bumping the reference count. Update the wrong documentation
while at it.
