From: Li Li <dualli@google.com>

Frozen tasks can't process binder transactions, so sync binder
transactions will fail with BR_FROZEN_REPLY and async binder
transactions will be queued in the kernel async binder buffer.
As these queued async transactions accumulates over time, the async
buffer will eventually be running out, denying all new transactions
after that with BR_FAILED_REPLY.

In addition to the above cases, different kinds of binder error codes
might be returned to the sender. However, the core Linux, or Android,
system administration process never knows what's actually happening.

Introduce generic netlink messages into the binder driver so that the
Linux/Android system administration process can listen to important
events and take corresponding actions, like stopping a broken app from
attacking the OS by sending huge amount of spamming binder transactions.

The new binder genl sources and headers are automatically generated from
the corresponding binder_genl YAML spec. Don't modify them directly.

+===========================================================
+Generic Netlink for the Android Binder Driver (Binder Genl)
+===========================================================
+
+The Generic Netlink subsystem in the Linux kernel provides a generic way for
+the Linux kernel to communicate to the user space applications via binder
+driver. It is used to report various kinds of binder transactions to user
+space administration process. The driver allows multiple binder devices and
+their corresponding binder contexts. Each context has an independent Generic
+Netlink for security reason. To prevent untrusted user applications from
+accessing the netlink data, the kernel driver uses unicast mode instead of
+multicast.
+
+Basically, the user space code uses the "set" command to request what kind
+of binder transactions reported by the kernel binder driver. The driver then
+uses "reply" command to acknowledge the request. The "set" command also
+registers the current user space process to receive the reports. When the
+user space process exits, the previous request will be reset to prevent any
+potential leaks.
+
+Currently the driver can report binder transactions that "failed" to reach
+the target process, or that are "delayed" due to the target process being
+frozen by cgroup freezer, or that are considered "spam" according to existing
+logic in binder_alloc.c.
+
+When the specified binder transactions happen, the driver uses the "report"
+command to send a generic netlink message to the registered process,
+containing the payload struct binder_report.
+
+More details about the flags, attributes and operations can be found at the
+the doc sections in Documentations/netlink/specs/binder_genl.yaml and the
+kernel-doc comments of the new source code in binder.{h|c}.
+
+Using Binder Genl
+-----------------
+
+The Binder Genl can be used in the same way as any other generic netlink
+drivers. Userspace application uses a raw netlink socket to send commands
+to and receive packets from the kernel driver.
+
+.. note::
+    If the userspace application that talks to the driver exits, the kernel
+    driver will automatically reset the configuration to the default and
+    stop sending more reports to prevent leaking memory.
+
+Usage example (user space pseudo code):
+
+::
+
+    // open netlink socket
+    int fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_GENERIC);
+
+    // bind netlink socket
+    bind(fd, struct socketaddr);
+
+    // get the family id of the binder genl
+    send(fd, CTRL_CMD_GETFAMILY, CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_NAME, "binder");
+    void *data = recv(CTRL_CMD_NEWFAMILY);
+    __u16 id = nla(data)[CTRL_ATTR_FAMILY_ID];
+
+    // enable per-context binder report
+    send(fd, id, BINDER_GENL_CMD_SET, 0, BINDER_GENL_FLAG_FAILED |
+            BINDER_GENL_FLAG_DELAYED);
+
+    // confirm the per-context configuration
+    void *data = recv(fd, BINDER_GENL_CMD_REPLY);
+    __u32 pid =  nla(data)[BINDER_GENL_A_CMD_PID];
+    __u32 flags = nla(data)[BINDER_GENL_A_CMD_FLAGS];
+
+    // set optional per-process report, overriding the per-context one
+    send(fd, id, BINDER_GENL_CMD_SET, getpid(),
+            BINDER_GENL_FLAG_SPAM | BINDER_REPORT_OVERRIDE);
+
+    // confirm the optional per-process configuration
+    void *data = recv(fd, BINDER_GENL_CMD_REPLY);
+    __u32 pid =  nla(data)[BINDER_GENL_A_CMD_PID];
+    __u32 flags = nla(data)[BINDER_GENL_A_CMD_FLAGS];
+
+    // wait and read all binder reports
+    while (running) {
+            void *data = recv(fd, BINDER_GENL_CMD_REPORT);
+            u32 *attr = nla(data)[BINDER_GENL_A_REPORT_XXX];
+
+            // process binder report
+            do_something(*attr);
+    }
+
+    // clean up
+    send(fd, id, BINDER_GENL_CMD_SET, 0, 0);
+    send(fd, id, BINDER_GENL_CMD_SET, getpid(), 0);
+    close(fd);
