[PATCH v4 4/7] rust_binder: Implement BINDER_DEBUG_USER_ERROR for transaction parsing failures
From: Jahnavi MN via B4 Relay
Date: Thu Jul 16 2026 - 04:39:01 EST
From: Jahnavi MN <jahnavimn@xxxxxxxxxx>
This adds dynamic debug logs in `thread.rs` for:
- File descriptor array (FDA) parent offset and parent buffer address
alignment misalignments.
- Memory copy, write, and translation failures during transaction
serialization (including out-of-bounds pointer fixups).
- Incoming transactions or replies that do not match the expected
thread calling stack (such as out-of-order replies).
