binder_alloc_mmap_handler() attempts to detect the use of ->mmap() on a
binder_proc whose binder_alloc has already been initialized by checking
whether alloc->buffer is non-zero.
Before commit 880211667b20 ("binder: remove kernel vm_area for buffer
space"), alloc->buffer was a kernel mapping address, which is always
non-zero, but since that commit, it is a userspace mapping address.
A sufficiently privileged user can map /dev/binder at NULL, tricking
binder_alloc_mmap_handler() into assuming that the binder_proc has not been
mapped yet. This leads to memory unsafety.
Luckily, no context on Android has such privileges, and on a typical Linux
desktop system, you need to be root to do that.
Fix it by using the mapping size instead of the mapping address to
distinguish the mapped case. A valid VMA can't have size zero.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
