<id>b7e241bbff24f9e106bf616408fd58bcedc44bae</id>
<content type='text'>
The patchset in [1] exported some definitions to binder_internal.h in
order to make the debugfs entries such as 'stats' and 'transaction_log'
available in a binderfs instance. However, the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE
macro expands into a static function/variable pair, which in turn get
redefined each time a source file includes this internal header.

This problem was made evident after a report from the kernel test robot
&lt;lkp@intel.com&gt; where several W=1 build warnings are seen in downstream
kernels. See the following example:

  include/../drivers/android/binder_internal.h:111:23: warning: 'binder_stats_fops' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
     111 | DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE(binder_stats);
         |                       ^~~~~~~~~~~~
  include/linux/seq_file.h:174:37: note: in definition of macro 'DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE'
     174 | static const struct file_operations __name ## _fops = {                 \
         |                                     ^~~~~~

This patch fixes the above issues by moving back the definitions into
binder.c and instead creates an array of the debugfs entries which is
more convenient to share with binderfs and iterate through.

<title>Binder: add TF_UPDATE_TXN to replace outdated txn</title>

When the target process is busy, incoming oneway transactions are
queued in the async_todo list. If the clients continue sending extra
oneway transactions while the target process is frozen, this queue can
become too large to accommodate new transactions. That's why binder
driver introduced ONEWAY_SPAM_DETECTION to detect this situation. It's
helpful to debug the async binder buffer exhausting issue, but the
issue itself isn't solved directly.

In real cases applications are designed to send oneway transactions
repeatedly, delivering updated inforamtion to the target process.
Typical examples are Wi-Fi signal strength and some real time sensor
data. Even if the apps might only care about the lastet information,
all outdated oneway transactions are still accumulated there until the
frozen process is thawed later. For this kind of situations, there's
no existing method to skip those outdated transactions and deliver the
latest one only.

This patch introduces a new transaction flag TF_UPDATE_TXN. To use it,
use apps can set this new flag along with TF_ONE_WAY. When such an
oneway transaction is to be queued into the async_todo list of a frozen
process, binder driver will check if any previous pending transactions
can be superseded by comparing their code, flags and target node. If
such an outdated pending transaction is found, the latest transaction
will supersede that outdated one. This effectively prevents the async
binder buffer running out and saves unnecessary binder read workloads.

Commit 9474be34a727 ("binder: add failed transaction logging info")
dereferences target_{proc,thread} after they have been potentially
freed by binder_proc_dec_tmpref() and binder_thread_dec_tmpref().

This patch delays the release of the two references after their last
usage. Fixes the following two errors reported by smatch:

  drivers/android/binder.c:3562 binder_transaction() error: dereferencing freed memory 'target_proc'
  drivers/android/binder.c:3563 binder_transaction() error: dereferencing freed memory 'target_thread'

Currently we have 3 primitives for removing an opened file from descriptor
table - pick_file(), __close_fd_get_file() and close_fd_get_file().  Their
calling conventions are rather odd and there's a code duplication for no
good reason.  They can be unified -

1) have __range_close() cap max_fd in the very beginning; that way
we don't need separate way for pick_file() to report being past the end
of descriptor table.

2) make {__,}close_fd_get_file() return file (or NULL) directly, rather
than returning it via struct file ** argument.  Don't bother with
(bogus) return value - nobody wants that -ENOENT.

3) make pick_file() return NULL on unopened descriptor - the only caller
that used to care about the distinction between descriptor past the end
of descriptor table and finding NULL in descriptor table doesn't give
a damn after (1).

4) lift -&gt;files_lock out of pick_file()

That actually simplifies the callers, as well as the primitives themselves.
Code duplication is also gone...
