Subject: [PATCH 00/17] x86, mpx updates for 4.2 (take 5)
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 11:27:29 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150422182729.0512E57D@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)

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 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.

As mentioned in the tsk_get_xsave_addr() patches, this must
be applied after Oleg's fixes which currently ends with:

	commit 7fc253e27 ("x86/fpu: Kill eager_fpu_init_bp()")

This also sees breakage unless either booted with 'noxsaves'
or if it has Fenghua's set from here applied:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1429678319-61356-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com

This set is also available against 4.0-rc4 in git:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daveh/x86-mpx.git mpx-v20
