Reporting the crash: KASAN: null-ptr-deref Write in binder_update_page_range

This crash has been found in v4.18-rc3 using RaceFuzzer (a modified
version of Syzkaller), which we describe more at the end of this
report.

Our analysis shows that the race occurs when invoking two syscalls
concurrently, mmap$binder() and ioctl$BINDER_WRITE_READ. More
specifically, since two code lines `alloc->vma = vma;` and
`alloc->vma_vm_mm = vma->vm_mm;` in binder_alloc_mmap_handler() is not
an atomic operation during mmap$binder() syscall, there is a time
window that `alloc->vma` is assigned but `alloc->vma_vm_mm` isn't
assigned. It causes the null pointer dereference in
binder_alloc_new_buf_locked() since it checks whether `alloc->vma` is
NULL, but it doesn't check that `alloc->vma_vm_mm` is NULL. More
details on the thread interleaving and the crash log are follows.

= About RaceFuzzer

RaceFuzzer is a customized version of Syzkaller, specifically tailored
to find race condition bugs in the Linux kernel. While we leverage
many different technique, the notable feature of RaceFuzzer is in
leveraging a custom hypervisor (QEMU/KVM) to interleave the
scheduling. In particular, we modified the hypervisor to intentionally
stall a per-core execution, which is similar to supporting per-core
breakpoint functionality. This allows RaceFuzzer to force the kernel
to deterministically trigger racy condition (which may rarely happen
in practice due to randomness in scheduling).

RaceFuzzer's C repro always pinpoints two racy syscalls. Since C
repro's scheduling synchronization should be performed at the user
space, its reproducibility is limited (reproduction may take from 1
second to 10 minutes (or even more), depending on a bug). This is
because, while RaceFuzzer precisely interleaves the scheduling at the
kernel's instruction level when finding this bug, C repro cannot fully
utilize such a feature. Please disregard all code related to
"should_hypercall" in the C repro, as this is only for our debugging
purposes using our own hypervisor.
