With kernel 5.8, the return value of map_kernel_range_noflush()
was changed. This function now returns 0 on success (instead of
the number of successfully mapped pages).
This commit adjusts binder accordingly.
With the commit 64fe66e8a95e in the Linux kernel, the member "mmap_sem" in the
struct mm_struct was renamed to "mmap_lock". This patch fixes the resulting
compile errors.
On kernel 5.7 and later, kallsyms_lookup_name() can no longer be called from a kernel
module for reasons described here: https://lwn.net/Articles/813350/
As binder really needs to use kallsysms_lookup_name() to access some kernel
functions that otherwise wouldn't be accessible, KProbes are used on later
kernels to get the address of kallsysms_lookup_name(). The function is
afterwards used just as before. This is a very dirty hack though and the much
better solution would be if all the functions that are currently resolved
with kallsysms_lookup_name() would get an EXPORT_SYMBOL() annotation to
make them directly accessible to kernel modules.
