x86, mpx: Give MPX a real config option prompt

2014-12-15T14:58:57Z

Give MPX a real config option. The CPUs that support it (referenced here): https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/402393 are not available publicly yet. Right now only the software emulator provides MPX for the general public. [ tglx: Make it default off. There is no point in having it on right now as no hardware and no proper tooling support are available ] Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen Cc: Dave Hansen Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141212183836.2569D58D@viggo.jf.intel.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

x86, mpx: Update documentation

2014-12-15T14:58:57Z

I was writing some MPX test programs and realized that the current design makes it tricky. I did something like: bndcfgu |= bnd_dir | BNDCFGU_ENABLE; xrstor(); printf("xrstor done"); // #BR bounds exception here prctl(MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT); and then compiled the app with "-fcheck-pointer-bounds -mmpx" to enable MPX instrumentation. The problem is that there is MPX instrumentation inserted in to the area of the printf(). The kernel gets a bounds exception and since management isn't yet enabled, it SIGSEGV's. Add a bit to the documentation to explain a way around this and where apps need to be careful.
