Merge tag 'mpx-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/daveh/x86-mpx
Pull x86 MPX removal from Dave Hansen:
"MPX requires recompiling applications, which requires compiler
support. Unfortunately, GCC 9.1 is expected to be be released without
support for MPX. This means that there was only a relatively small
window where folks could have ever used MPX. It failed to gain wide
adoption in the industry, and Linux was the only mainstream OS to ever
support it widely.
Support for the feature may also disappear on future processors.
This set completes the process that we started during the 5.4 merge
window when the MPX prctl()s were removed. XSAVE support is left in
place, which allows MPX-using KVM guests to continue to function"
