Subject: [PATCH v6 0/6] Android Binder IPC Fixes

Hi all,

This set of patches will clean-up and fix some of the issues that arise
with the current binder interface when moving to a 64bit kernel. All these
changes will not affect the existing 32bit Android interface and are meant
to stand as the base for the 64bit binder compat layer(kernel or userpsace).

The patch set has been successfully tested with a 64bit Linux userspace and
64bit binder unit-tests.

This patch set has been successfully tested on 32bit platforms(ARMv7 VExpress)
and 64bit platforms(ARMv8 RTSM) running a 32bit Android userspace and an in
kernel binder compat layer.

Changes for v6:
1 6/6: Modified struct binder_pri_desc according to Arve's feedback - member
"desc" defined as an __u32 type.

Changes for v5:
1 6/6: Moved patch to the end of the series; changed handle to use __u32 type
2 4/6: Removed some of the alignment/buffer changes introduced in previous
versions of the patch.

Changes for v4:
1: 5/6: Fix the offset buffer alignment such that it will work for cases where
buffer start + buffer size are not aligned to (void *)

Changes for v3:
1: Dropped the patch that was replacing uint32_t types with unsigned int
2: Dropped the patch fixing the IOCTL types(since it has been added to Greg's
staging tree)
3: Split one patch into two: 'modify binder_write_read' and '64bit changes'
4: Modified BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl definition accordint to Arve's review
5: Modified the binder command IOCTL declarations according to Arve's review

Changes for v2:
1: 1/7: Modified the commit message according to Greg's feedback;
2: 3/7: Merged with the patch fixing the printk format specifiers.

Subject: [PATCH v6 1/6] staging: android: binder: modify struct binder_write_read to use size_t

This change mirrors the userspace operation where struct binder_write_read
members that specify the buffer size and consumed size are size_t elements.

The patch also fixes the binder_thread_write() and binder_thread_read()
functions prototypes to conform with the definition of binder_write_read.

The changes do not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH v6 6/6] staging: android: binder: fix binder interface for 64bit compat layer

The changes in this patch will fix the binder interface for use on 64bit
machines and stand as the base of the 64bit compat support. The changes
apply to the structures that are passed between the kernel and
userspace.

Most of the changes applied mirror the change to struct binder_version
where there is no need for a 64bit wide protocol_version(on 64bit
machines). The change inlines with the existing 32bit userspace(the
structure has the same size) and simplifies the compat layer such that
the same handler can service the BINDER_VERSION ioctl.

Other changes make use of kernel types as well as user-exportable ones
and fix format specifier issues.

The changes do not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH v6 4/6] staging: android: binder: fix alignment issues

The Android userspace aligns the data written to the binder buffers to
4bytes. Thus for 32bit platforms or 64bit platforms running an 32bit
Android userspace we can have a buffer looking like this:

platform buffer(binder_cmd pointer) size
32/32 32b 32b 8B
64/32 32b 64b 12B
64/64 32b 64b 12B

Thus the kernel needs to check that the buffer size is aligned to 4bytes
not to (void *) that will be 8bytes on 64bit machines.

The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH v6 3/6] staging: android: binder: fix BC_FREE_BUFFER ioctl declaration

BinderDriverCommands mirror the ioctl usage. Thus the size of the
structure passed through the interface should be used to generate the
ioctl No.

The change reflects the type being passed from the user space-a pointer
to a binder_buffer. This change should not affect the existing 32bit
user space since BC_FREE_BUFFER is computed as:

#define _IOW(type,nr,size) \
((type) << _IOC_TYPESHIFT) | \
((nr) << _IOC_NRSHIFT) | \
((size) << _IOC_SIZESHIFT))

and for a 32bit compiler BC_FREE_BUFFER will have the same computed
value. This change will also ease our work in differentiating
BC_FREE_BUFFER from COMPAT_BC_FREE_BUFFER.

The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/6] staging: android: binder: fix BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS declaration

This change will fix the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl to use __u32
instead of size_t for setting the max threads. Thus using the same
handler for 32 and 64bit kernels.

This value is stored internally in struct binder_proc and set to 15
on open_binder() in the libbinder API(thus no need for a 64bit size_t
on 64bit platforms).

The change does not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH v6 5/6] staging: android: binder: replace types with portable ones

Since this driver is meant to be used on different types of processors
and a portable driver should specify the size a variable expects to be
this patch changes the types used throughout the binder interface.

We use "userspace" types since this header will be exported and used by
the Android filesystem.

The patch does not change in any way the functionality of the binder driver.
