binder: use cred instead of task for getsecid
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use the 'struct cred' saved at binder_open() to lookup
the security ID via security_cred_getsecid(). This
ensures that the security context that opened binder
is the one used to generate the secctx.
