binder: rename lru shrinker utilities

Now that the page allocation step is done separately we should rename
the binder_free_page_range() and binder_allocate_page_range() functions
to provide a more accurate description of what they do. Lets borrow the
freelist concept used in other parts of the kernel for this.

No functional change here.

binder: remove pid param in binder_alloc_new_buf()

Binder attributes the buffer allocation to the current->tgid everytime.
There is no need to pass this as a parameter so drop it.

Also add a few touchups to follow the coding guidelines. No functional
changes are introduced in this patch.

binder: keep vma addresses type as unsigned long

The vma addresses in binder are currently stored as void __user *. This
requires casting back and forth between the mm/ api which uses unsigned
long. Since we also do internal arithmetic on these addresses we end up
having to cast them _again_ to an integer type.

Lets stop all the unnecessary casting which kills code readability and
store the virtual addresses as the native unsigned long from mm/. Note
that this approach is preferred over uintptr_t as Linus explains in [1].

Opportunistically add a few cosmetic touchups.

Revert "android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA"

This reverts commit a43cfc87caaf46710c8027a8c23b8a55f1078f19.

This patch fixed an issue reported by syzkaller in [1]. However, this
turned out to be only a band-aid in binder. The root cause, as bisected
by syzkaller, was fixed by commit 5789151e48ac ("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap()
when mas_preallocate() fails"). We no longer need the patch for binder.

Reverting such patch allows us to have a lockless access to alloc->vma
in specific cases where the mmap_lock is not required. This approach
avoids the contention that caused a performance regression.

android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA

Do not record a pointer to a VMA outside of the mmap_lock for later use.
This is unsafe and there are a number of failure paths *after* the
recorded VMA pointer may be freed during setup. There is no callback to
the driver to clear the saved pointer from generic mm code. Furthermore,
the VMA pointer may become stale if any number of VMA operations end up
freeing the VMA so saving it was fragile to being with.

Instead, change the binder_alloc struct to record the start address of the
VMA and use vma_lookup() to get the vma when needed. Add lockdep
mmap_lock checks on updates to the vma pointer to ensure the lock is held
and depend on that lock for synchronization of readers and writers - which
was already the case anyways, so the smp_wmb()/smp_rmb() was not
necessary.

binder: print warnings when detecting oneway spamming.

The most common cause of the binder transaction buffer filling up is a
client rapidly firing oneway transactions into a process, before it has
a chance to handle them. Yet the root cause of this is often hard to
debug, because either the system or the app will stop, and by that time
binder debug information we dump in bugreports is no longer relevant.

This change warns as soon as a process dips below 80% of its oneway
space (less than 100kB available in the configuration), when any one
process is responsible for either more than 50 transactions, or more
than 50% of the oneway space.

binder: use userspace pointer as base of buffer space

Now that alloc->buffer points to the userspace vm_area
rename buffer->data to buffer->user_data and rename
local pointers that hold user addresses. Also use the
"__user" tag to annotate all user pointers so sparse
can flag cases where user pointer vaues are copied to
kernel pointers. Refactor code to use offsets instead
of user pointers.

android: binder: Add global lru shrinker to binder

Hold on to the pages allocated and mapped for transaction
buffers until the system is under memory pressure. When
that happens, use linux shrinker to free pages. Without
using shrinker, patch "android: binder: Move buffer out
of area shared with user space" will cause a significant
slow down for small transactions that fit into the first
page because free list buffer header used to be inlined
with buffer data.

In addition to prevent the performance regression for
small transactions, this patch improves the performance
for transactions that take up more than one page.

Modify alloc selftest to work with the shrinker change.

Test: Run memory intensive applications (Chrome and Camera)
to trigger shrinker callbacks. Binder frees memory as expected.
Test: Run binderThroughputTest with high memory pressure
option enabled.

android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space

Binder driver allocates buffer meta data in a region that is mapped
in user space. These meta data contain pointers in the kernel.

This patch allocates buffer meta data on the kernel heap that is
not mapped in user space, and uses a pointer to refer to the data mapped.

android: binder: Add allocator selftest

binder_alloc_selftest tests that alloc_new_buf handles page allocation and
deallocation properly when allocate and free buffers. The test allocates 5
buffers of various sizes to cover all possible page alignment cases, and
frees the buffers using a list of exhaustive freeing order.

Test: boot the device with ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST config option
enabled. Allocator selftest passes.
