[This email was generated by a script. Let me know if you have any suggestions
to make it better, or if you want it re-generated with the latest status.]

Of the currently open syzbot reports against the upstream kernel, I've manually
marked 3 of them as possibly being bugs in the "android/binder" subsystem. I've
listed these reports below, sorted by an algorithm that tries to list first the
reports most likely to be still valid, important, and actionable.

Of these 3 bugs, 1 was seen in mainline in the last week.

Of these 3 bugs, 1 was bisected to a commit from the following person:

Todd Kjos <tkjos@xxxxxxxxxxx>

If you believe a bug is no longer valid, please close the syzbot report by
sending a '#syz fix', '#syz dup', or '#syz invalid' command in reply to the
original thread, as explained at https://goo.gl/tpsmEJ#status

If you believe I misattributed a bug to the "android/binder" subsystem, please
let me know, and if possible forward the report to the correct people or mailing
list.

Here are the bugs:

Unfortunately, this bug does not have a reproducer.

[Note: the uprobe developers think this is a bug in binder, not uprobes.
See https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=155119805728815&w=2
for a suggested fix for this bug.]
