staging:iio: Fix sw_ring memory corruption
The sw_ring does not properly handle the case where the write pointer already
has wrapped around, the read pointer has not and the remaining buffer space at
the end is enough to fill the read buffer:
+-----------------------------------+
| | |##data##| |
+-----------------------------------+
write_p read_p
In this case the current code will copy all available data to the buffer and
as a result will write beyond the bounds of the buffer and cause a memory
corruption.
To address this issue this patch adds code to calculate the available buffer
space and makes sure that the number of bytes to copy does not exceed this
number. This allows the code which copies the data around to be simplified as
it only has to consider two cases: Read wraps around and read does not wrap
around.

bool :1, uchar :1 or uint :1 could make sense. uchar:1/bool:1 won't save
any space here, because the surrounding fields are either uint or
pointers, so alignment will just add padding.
I try to use int/uint whenever possible because x86 CPUs tend to get
less register false-dependencies when using instructions modifying the
whole register (generated by using int/uint types) rather than only part
of it (uchar/char/bool). I only use char/uchar/bool when there is a
clear wanted space gain.
The reason why I never use the bool type within a structure when I want
a compact representation is that bool takes a whole byte just to
represent one bit:
struct usebitfield {
int a;
unsigned int f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};
struct usebool {
int a;
bool f, g, h, i, j;
int b;
};
struct useboolbf {
int a;
bool f:1, g:1, h:1, i:1, j:1;
int b;
};
int main()
{
printf("bitfield %d bytes, bool %d bytes, boolbitfield %d bytes\n",
sizeof(struct usebitfield), sizeof(struct usebool),
sizeof(struct useboolbf));
}
result:
bitfield 12 bytes, bool 16 bytes, boolbitfield 12 bytes
This is because each bool takes one byte, while the bitfields are put in
units of "unsigned int" (or bool for the 3rd struct). So in this
example, we need 5 bytes + 3 bytes alignment for the bool, but only 4
bytes to hold the "unsigned int" unit for the bitfields.
The choice between bool and bitfields must also take into account the
frequency of access to the variable, because bitfields require mask
operations to access the selected bit(s). You will notice that none of
these bitfields are accessed on the tracing fast-path: only in
slow-paths. Therefore, space gain is more important than speed here.
One might argue that I have so few of these fields here that it does not
make an actual difference to go for bitfield or bool. I am just trying
to choose types best suited for their intended purpose, ensuring they
are future-proof and will allow simply adding more fields using the same
type, as needed.
So I guess I'll go for uint :1.

binder_deferred_release was not unmapping the page from the buffer

when page(s) had not been freed by binder_update_page_range, which
properly unmaps the pages.
This only happens on architectures with VIPT aliasing.
To reproduce, create a program which opens, mmaps, munmaps, then closes
the binder very quickly. This should leave a page allocated when the
binder is released. When binder_deferrred_release is called on the
close, the page will remain mapped to the address in the linear
proc->buffer. Later, we may map the same physical page to a different
virtual address that has different coloring, and this may cause
aliasing to occur.
