2017-08-28android: binder: Add shrinker tracepointsSherry Yang
Add tracepoints in binder transaction allocator to record lru hits and alloc/free page. Signed-off-by: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-08-28android: binder: Add global lru shrinker to binderSherry Yang
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. Signed-off-by: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-08-28android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user spaceSherry Yang
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.

2017-08-28android: binder: Refactor prev and next buffer into a helper functionSherry Yang
Use helper functions buffer_next and buffer_prev instead of list_entry to get the next and previous buffers. Signed-off-by: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: add more debug info when allocation fails.Martijn Coenen
Display information about allocated/free space whenever binder buffer allocation fails on synchronous transactions. Signed-off-by: Martijn Coenen <maco@android.com> Signed-off-by: Siqi Lin <siqilin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: protect against two threads freeing bufferTodd Kjos
Adds protection against malicious user code freeing the same buffer at the same time which could cause a crash. Cannot happen under normal use. Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: add log information for binder transaction failuresTodd Kjos
Add additional information to determine the cause of binder failures. Adds the following to failed transaction log and kernel messages: return_error : value returned for transaction return_error_param : errno returned by binder allocator return_error_line : line number where error detected Also, return BR_DEAD_REPLY if an allocation error indicates a dead proc (-ESRCH) Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: move binder_alloc to separate fileTodd Kjos
Move the binder allocator functionality to its own file Continuation of splitting the binder allocator from the binder driver. Split binder_alloc functions from normal binder functions. Add kernel doc comments to functions declared extern in binder_alloc.h Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
