Carlos Llamas d276fb4a7e binder: validate alloc->mm in ->mmap() handler 
[ Upstream commit 3ce00bb7e9 ]

Since commit 1da52815d5 ("binder: fix alloc->vma_vm_mm null-ptr
dereference") binder caches a pointer to the current->mm during open().
This fixes a null-ptr dereference reported by syzkaller. Unfortunately,
it also opens the door for a process to update its mm after the open(),
(e.g. via execve) making the cached alloc->mm pointer invalid.

Things get worse when the process continues to mmap() a vma. From this
point forward, binder will attempt to find this vma using an obsolete
alloc->mm reference. Such as in binder_update_page_range(), where the
wrong vma is obtained via vma_lookup(), yet binder proceeds to happily
insert new pages into it.

To avoid this issue fail the ->mmap() callback if we detect a mismatch
between the vma->vm_mm and the original alloc->mm pointer. This prevents
alloc->vm_addr from getting set, so that any subsequent vma_lookup()
calls fail as expected.

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.
