Hi x86 maintainers,
It appeared that my attempt to send this earlier this week
failed to reach at least some of the intended recipients.
There are 4 basic things going on here:
1. Make FPU/xsave code preempt safe and work properly
2. Add trace points to make kernel and app debugging easier
3. Add a boot-time disable for mpx
4. Support 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit kernels
I've hesitated sending this in the past few weeks as
the FPU code had a lot of churn and affected our
ability to test on current kernels. It seems to have
settled down and appears more stable now.
These are available against 4.0-rc4 in git as well:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daveh/x86-mpx.git mpx-v18
Dave Hansen (17):
x86, fpu: wrap get_xsave_addr() to make it safer
x86, mpx: use new tsk_get_xsave_addr()
x86, mpx: trace #BR exceptions
x86, mpx: trace entry to bounds exception paths
x86, mpx: trace when MPX is zapping pages
x86, mpx: trace attempts to find bounds tables
x86, mpx: trace allocation of new bounds tables
x86, mpx: boot-time disable
x86: make is_64bit_mm() widely available
x86: make __VIRTUAL_MASK safe to use on 32 bit
x86, mpx: we do not allocate the bounds directory
x86, mpx: remove redundant MPX_BNDCFG_ADDR_MASK
x86, mpx: Add temporary variable to reduce masking
x86, mpx: new directory entry to addr helper
x86, mpx: do 32-bit-only cmpxchg for 32-bit apps
x86, mpx: support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernel
x86, mpx: allow mixed binaries again
