From: Todd Kjos <tkjos@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 29bc22ac5e5bc63275e850f0c8fc549e3d0e306b upstream. Save the 'struct cred' associated with a binder process at initial open to avoid potential race conditions when converting to an euid. Set a transaction's sender_euid from the 'struct cred' saved at binder_open() instead of looking up the euid from the binder proc's 'struct task'. This ensures the euid is associated with the security context that of the task that opened binder.
