Changes from take 8 / v23: * Respond to some of Ingo's comments about get_xsave_field_ptr(): 1. add const in return type, and fix up the cascading need for 'const' in other parts of the MPX code and tracepoints. 2. add a local 'fpu' var 3. Update patch description
Changes from take 7 / v22: * Add Thomas's reviewed-by * merge with tip/x86/fpu changes * Fix tiny spelling nit
Changes from take 6 / v21: * Address a bunch of Thomas's review comments.
Changes from take 5 / v20:
* Fix get_xsave_addr() to consult xstate_bv in anticipation of fixes to xsave code. * Bug fix for when an VMA being unmapped has neighbors which are bounds tables. * Rewrite unmapping code. I didn't do this lightly. It was not originally my own code, and I resisted changing it because it worked. But, I started bug chasing and decided it was unmaintainable. The rewrite ended up removing about 20% of the unmapping code and made it much simpler.
Changes from take 4 / v19:
* Do not pass a task_struct around when we are really just going to operate on current
Changes from take 3 / v18 (all minor):
* use DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()/DEFINE_EVENT() for the ranged tracepoints to save 10 lines of code.
Changes from take 2 / v17 (all minor):
* fix a couple of whitespace borkages caught by checkpatch, and a spelling error or two. * replace printk with pr_info() for boot disable * change trace print format for address intervals * fix up variable name in tsk_get_xsave_addr() comment * remove tsk_get_xsave_field() GPL export * fix up Qiaowei's From:

Hi x86 maintainers,
There are a few basic things going on here: 1. Make FPU/xsave code cleaner and less error-prone 2. Add trace points to make kernel and app debugging easier 3. Add a boot-time disable for mpx 4. Rewrite the unmapping code. 5. Support 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit kernels
This set is also available against tip/x86/fpu (8c05f05edb) in git:
