staging: android: binder: move to the "real" part of the kernel The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no real work that needs to be done to the existing code.

Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
and remote method invocation.
This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
between said processes.
binder: Support multiple /dev instances Add a new module parameter 'devices', that can be used to specify the names of the binder device nodes we want to populate in /dev. Each device node has its own context manager, and is therefore logically separated from all the other device nodes. The config option CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES can be used to set the default value of the parameter. This approach was favored over using IPC namespaces, mostly because we require a single process to be a part of multiple binder contexts, which seemed harder to achieve with namespaces.

Default value for the binder.devices parameter.
The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
therefore logically separated from the other devices.

---help---
The Binder API has been changed to support both 32 and 64bit
applications in a mixed environment.
Enable this to support an old 32-bit Android user-space (v4.4 and
earlier).
Note that enabling this will break newer Android user-space.
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.
