binder_internal.h is included only in the following two C files:

  $ git grep binder_internal.h
  drivers/android/binder.c:#include "binder_internal.h"
  drivers/android/binderfs.c:#include "binder_internal.h"

Neither of these files use the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro, so including
<linux/export.h> is unnecessary.

When binderfs is not enabled, the binder driver parses the kernel
config to create all binder devices. All of the new binder devices
are stored in the list binder_devices.

When binderfs is enabled, the binder driver creates new binder devices
dynamically when userspace applications call BINDER_CTL_ADD ioctl. But
the devices created in this way are not stored in the same list.

This patch fixes that.

Frozen processes present a significant challenge in binder transactions.
When a process is frozen, it cannot, by design, accept and/or respond to
binder transactions. As a result, the sender needs to adjust its
behavior, such as postponing transactions until the peer process
unfreezes. However, there is currently no way to subscribe to these
state change events, making it impossible to implement frozen-aware
behaviors efficiently.

Introduce a binder API for subscribing to frozen state change events.
This allows programs to react to changes in peer process state,
mitigating issues related to binder transactions sent to frozen
processes.

Implementation details:
For a given binder_ref, the state of frozen notification can be one of
the followings:
1. Userspace doesn't want a notification. binder_ref->freeze is null.
2. Userspace wants a notification but none is in flight.
   list_empty(&binder_ref->freeze->work.entry) = true
3. A notification is in flight and waiting to be read by userspace.
   binder_ref_freeze.sent is false.
4. A notification was read by userspace and kernel is waiting for an ack.
   binder_ref_freeze.sent is true.

When a notification is in flight, new state change events are coalesced into
the existing binder_ref_freeze struct. If userspace hasn't picked up the
notification yet, the driver simply rewrites the state. Otherwise, the
notification is flagged as requiring a resend, which will be performed
once userspace acks the original notification that's inflight.

See https://r.android.com/3070045 for how userspace is going to use this
feature.

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.

This commit adds support for getting the pid and tid information of
the sender for asynchronous transfers in binderfs transfer records.
In previous versions, it was not possible to obtain this information
from the transfer records. While this information may not be necessary
for all use cases, it can be useful in some scenarios.

An async transaction to a frozen process will still be successfully
put in the queue. But this pending async transaction won't be processed
until the target process is unfrozen at an unspecified time in the
future. Pass this important information back to the user space caller
by returning BR_TRANSACTION_PENDING_FROZEN.

The patchset in [1] exported some definitions to binder_internal.h in
order to make the debugfs entries such as 'stats' and 'transaction_log'
available in a binderfs instance. However, the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
macro expands into a static function/variable pair, which in turn get
redefined each time a source file includes this internal header.

This problem was made evident after a report from the kernel test robot
<lkp@intel.com> where several W=1 build warnings are seen in downstream
kernels. See the following example:

  include/../drivers/android/binder_internal.h:111:23: warning: 'binder_stats_fops' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
     111 | DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE(binder_stats);
         |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~
  include/linux/seq_file.h:174:37: note: in definition of macro 'DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE'
     174 | static const struct file_operations __name ## _fops = {                 \
         |                                     ^~~~~~

This patch fixes the above issues by moving back the definitions into
binder.c and instead creates an array of the debugfs entries which is
more convenient to share with binderfs and iterate through.

Provide a userspace mechanism to pull precise error information upon
failed operations. Extending the current error codes returned by the
interfaces allows userspace to better determine the course of action.
This could be for instance, retrying a failed transaction at a later
point and thus offloading the error handling from the driver.
