[PATCH v2 2/3] binder: do not initialize locals passed to copy_from_user()

[glider]

Certain copy_from_user() invocations in binder.c are known to
unconditionally initialize locals before their first use, like e.g. in
the following case:

	struct binder_transaction_data tr;
	if (copy_from_user(&tr, ptr, sizeof(tr)))
		return -EFAULT;

In such cases enabling CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL leads to insertion of
redundant locals initialization that the compiler fails to remove.
To work around this problem till Clang can deal with it, we apply
__no_initialize to local Binder structures.

This patch was generated using the following Coccinelle script:

  @match@
  type T;
  identifier var;
  position p0, p1;
  @@
  T var@p0;
  ...
  copy_from_user(&var,..., sizeof(var))@p1

  @escapes depends on match@
  type match.T;
  identifier match.var;
  position match.p0,match.p1;
  @@
  T var@p0;
  ... var ...
  copy_from_user(&var,..., sizeof(var))@p1

  @local_inited_by_cfu depends on !escapes@
  type T;
  identifier var;
  position match.p0,match.p1;
  fresh identifier var_noinit = var##" __no_initialize";
  @@
  -T var@p0;
  +T var_noinit;
  ...
  copy_from_user(&var,..., sizeof(var))@p1

 v2:
  - changed __do_not_initialize to __no_initialize as requested by Kees
    Cook
  - wrote a Coccinelle script to generate the patch
