[PATCH 0/9] x86, mpx: Support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Mon Feb 02 2015 - 16:34:51 EST


The MPX hardware structures differ in layout in 32 and 64-bit
mode. A 32-bit binary running on a 64-bit kernel needs the
32-bit structures, so we need code which switches between
the two modes.

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 32bit binaries on 64bit kernel
