[$] A Rust implementation of Android's Binder
Thursday November 30, 2023. 03:54 PM , from LWN.net
The Android system was once famous for extensive, out-of-tree kernel
enhancements. Many of those have been eliminated or upstreamed over the years, bringing Android much closer to the mainline kernel. One significant component in the 'upstreamed' category is Binder, an interprocess communication mechanism that is used only by Android. There are a number of factors that make Binder a good candidate for rewriting in the Rust language; at the 2023 Linux Plumbers Conference, Carlos Llamas and Alice Ryhl described the motivation behind and implementation of a rewrite of Binder in Rust.
