Subject: [PATCH 05/17] x86, mpx: trace when MPX is zapping pages
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2015 14:53:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150327215301.D1208022@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150327215253.8583D538@viggo.jf.intel.com>


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will instead
try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free the backing
memory.  This decreases RSS (resident set size) without
decreasing the virtual space allocated for bounds tables.
