Subject: [PATCH 0/8] 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.

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.

Best Regards,
Serban Constantinescu

Subject: [PATCH 2/8] staging: android: binder: replace IOCTL types with user-exportable types

This patch modifies the IOCTL macros to use user-exportable data types,
as they are the referred kernel types for the user/kernel interface.

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

Subject: [PATCH 1/8] staging: android: binder: replace explicit size types

Since the binder driver uses both uint32_t and unsigned int any further
kernel changes will be difficult to read. This patch fixes the inconsistent
types usage.

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

Subject: [PATCH 5/8] staging: android: binder: fix BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS declaration

This change will fix the BINDER_SET_MAX_THREADS ioctl to use __s32
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 as an int and
is 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 7/8] 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 8/8] 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.

Subject: [PATCH 3/8] 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 fix the function prototypes for binder_thread_read/write
and make use of kernel types as well as user-exportable ones.

The changes do not affect existing 32bit ABI.

Subject: [PATCH 6/8] 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.

I need some acks from some of the Android developers before I can take
this.

Would it make more sense to only change the types that need to be
larger on a 64 bit system?

I still think it is better to change user-space to use 64 bit pointer
types when running on a 64 bit kernel. These changes do not seem to
allow 64 bit user-space processes on a 64 bit kernel.

I agree. You are also changing the type from explicit to "unexplicit",
the exact opposite from what I would be expecting to see here. Why?

I have changed the types used so that they seem consistent throughout
the driver(uint32_t is used in some of the internal structures and some
of the function prototypes). Changing these types to kernel explicit
types would have meant that we would have the same inconsistency for u32
types.

We can live without this patch and I can take a look at modifying the
function prototypes, internal structures and kernel/userspace
interaction to use explicit kernel types it that is preferred.

Thanks for your feedback,
Serban

This patch set is independent of whether the binder compat layer lives
in the kernel or in the userspace. However we need these changes so that
the same kernel driver supports calls from 32bit userspace and calls
from 64bit userspace(from the binder kernel driver perspective same as
64bit kernel/32bit userspace with the compat layer expanding pointers
and structures to 64bit in the userspace).

We have tested 64/64 functionality using a 64bit Linux filesystem and
64bit binder unit tests. All tests passed for both kernel/filesystem
configurations supported by this patch set - 32/32 and 64/64.

Thanks for your feedback,
Serban

What do you mean? You changed uint32_t types to "int", which seems like
a step backwards from being explicit on how things should be.

If this is just a "cleanup" change, then great, but say it is such.
Your commit log message is odd in that you are saying it is making
things easier to read, yet I'm sure confused by it :)
