commit c6d05e0762ab276102246d24affd1e116a46aa0c upstream.

Each transaction is associated with a 'struct binder_buffer' that stores
the metadata about its buffer area. Since commit 74310e06be4d ("android:
binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space") this struct is
no longer embedded within the buffer itself but is instead allocated on
the heap to prevent userspace access to this driver-exclusive info.

Unfortunately, the space of this struct is still being accounted for in
the total buffer size calculation, specifically for async transactions.
This results in an additional 104 bytes added to every async buffer
request, and this area is never used.

This wasted space can be substantial. If we consider the maximum mmap
buffer space of SZ_4M, the driver will reserve half of it for async
transactions, or 0x200000. This area should, in theory, accommodate up
to 262,144 buffers of the minimum 8-byte size. However, after adding
the extra 'sizeof(struct binder_buffer)', the total number of buffers
drops to only 18,724, which is a sad 7.14% of the actual capacity.

This patch fixes the buffer size calculation to enable the utilization
of the entire async buffer space. This is expected to reduce the number
of -ENOSPC errors that are seen on the field.

<title>binder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9a9ab0d963621d9d12199df9817e66982582d5a5 upstream.

Task A calls binder_update_page_range() to allocate and insert pages on
a remote address space from Task B. For this, Task A pins the remote mm
via mmget_not_zero() first. This can race with Task B do_exit() and the
final mmput() refcount decrement will come from Task A.

  Task A            | Task B
  ------------------+------------------
  mmget_not_zero()  |
                    |  do_exit()
                    |    exit_mm()
                    |      mmput()
  mmput()           |
    exit_mmap()     |
      remove_vma()  |
        fput()      |

In this case, the work of ____fput() from Task B is queued up in Task A
as TWA_RESUME. So in theory, Task A returns to userspace and the cleanup
work gets executed. However, Task A instead sleep, waiting for a reply
from Task B that never comes (it's dead).

This means the binder_deferred_release() is blocked until an unrelated
binder event forces Task A to go back to userspace. All the associated
death notifications will also be delayed until then.

In order to fix this use mmput_async() that will schedule the work in
the corresponding mm-&gt;async_put_work WQ instead of Task A.

commit adb9743d6a08778b78d62d16b4230346d3508986 upstream.

In binder_init(), the destruction of binder_alloc_shrinker_init() is not
performed in the wrong path, which will cause memory leaks. So this commit
introduces binder_alloc_shrinker_exit() and calls it in the wrong path to
fix that.

<content type='text'>
commit cfd0d84ba28c18b531648c9d4a35ecca89ad9901 upstream.

In 4.13, commit 74310e06be4d ("android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space")
fixed a kernel structure visibility issue. As part of that patch,
sizeof(void *) was used as the buffer size for 0-length data payloads so
the driver could detect abusive clients sending 0-length asynchronous
transactions to a server by enforcing limits on async_free_size.

Unfortunately, on the "free" side, the accounting of async_free_space
did not add the sizeof(void *) back. The result was that up to 8-bytes of
async_free_space were leaked on every async transaction of 8-bytes or
less.  These small transactions are uncommon, so this accounting issue
has gone undetected for several years.

The fix is to use "buffer_size" (the allocated buffer size) instead of
"size" (the logical buffer size) when updating the async_free_space
during the free operation. These are the same except for this
corner case of asynchronous transactions with payloads &lt; 8 bytes.

commit f867c771f98891841c217fa8459244ed0dd28921 upstream.

syzbot is reporting that mmput() from shrinker function has a risk of
deadlock [1], for delayed_uprobe_add() from update_ref_ctr() calls
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) with delayed_uprobe_lock held, and
uprobe_clear_state() from __mmput() also holds delayed_uprobe_lock.

Commit a1b2289cef92ef0e ("android: binder: drop lru lock in isolate
callback") replaced mmput() with mmput_async() in order to avoid sleeping
with spinlock held. But this patch replaces mmput() with mmput_async() in
order not to start __mmput() from shrinker context.

<content type='text'>
commit 60d4885710836595192c42d3e04b27551d30ec91 upstream.

Restore the behavior of locking mmap_sem for reading in
binder_alloc_free_page(), as was first done in commit 3013bf62b67a
("binder: reduce mmap_sem write-side lock"). That change was
inadvertently reverted by commit 5cec2d2e5839 ("binder: fix race between
munmap() and direct reclaim").

In addition, change the name of the label for the error path to
accurately reflect that we're taking the lock for reading.

Backporting note: This fix is only needed when *both* of the commits
mentioned above are applied. That's an unlikely situation since they
both landed during the development of v5.1 but only one of them is
targeted for stable.

commit 2a9edd056ed4fbf9d2e797c3fc06335af35bccc4 upstream.

The old loop wouldn't stop when reaching `start` if `start==NULL`, instead
continuing backwards to index -1 and crashing.

Luckily you need to be highly privileged to map things at NULL, so it's not
a big problem.

Fix it by adjusting the loop so that the loop variable is always in bounds.

This patch is deliberately minimal to simplify backporting, but IMO this
function could use a refactor. The jump labels in the second loop body are
horrible (the error gotos should be jumping to free_range instead), and
both loops would look nicer if they just iterated upwards through indices.
And the up_read()+mmput() shouldn't be duplicated like that.

commit 8eb52a1ee37aafd9b796713aa0b3ab9cbc455be3 upstream.

binder_alloc_print_pages() iterates over
alloc-&gt;pages[0..alloc-&gt;buffer_size-1] under alloc-&gt;mutex.
binder_alloc_mmap_handler() writes alloc-&gt;pages and alloc-&gt;buffer_size
without holding that lock, and even writes them before the last bailout
point.

Unfortunately we can't take the alloc-&gt;mutex in the -&gt;mmap() handler
because mmap_sem can be taken while alloc-&gt;mutex is held.
So instead, we have to locklessly check whether the binder_alloc has been
fully initialized with binder_alloc_get_vma(), like in
binder_alloc_new_buf_locked().
