Subject: [PATCH 00/19] x86, mpx updates for 4.2 (take 7)

Note: this has been lightly tested.  There were no major changes
since the last version, and I ran my normal compile tests, but
this was a bit hurried because I'm about to get on a plane and
will not be reading email for the next week.

Changes from take 7 / v21:
 * Address a bunch of Thomas's review comments.

Changes from take 5 / v20:

 * Fix get_xsave_addr() to consult xstate_bv in anticipation
   of fixes to xsave code.
 * Bug fix for when an VMA being unmapped has neighbors which
   are bounds tables.
 * Rewrite unmapping code.  I didn't do this lightly. It was
   not originally my own code, and I resisted changing it
   because it worked.  But, I started bug chasing and decided
   it was unmaintainable.  The rewrite ended up removing
   about 20% of the unmapping code and made it much simpler.

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 a few 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. Rewrite the unmapping code.
5. Support 32-bit binaries to run on 64-bit kernels

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

This set is also available against 4.1-rc3 in git:
