74310e06be 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.

4175e2b46f 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.

53d311cfa1 binder: protect against two threads freeing buffer
Adds protection against malicious user code freeing
the same buffer at the same time which could cause
a crash. Cannot happen under normal use.

0c972a05cd binder: move binder_alloc to separate file
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
