Avoid vm_area when copying to or from binder buffers. Instead, new copy functions are added that copy from kernel space to binder buffer space. These use kmap_atomic() and kunmap_atomic() to create temporary mappings and then memcpy() is used to copy within that page. Also, kmap_atomic() / kunmap_atomic() use the appropriate cache flushing to support VIVT cache architectures. Allow binder to build if CPU_CACHE_VIVT is defined. Several uses of the new functions are added here. More to follow in subsequent patches. Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
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.
