Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 100/305] x86/mpx: Fix instruction decoder condition

4.2.8-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit 8e8efe0379bd93e8219ca0fc6fa80b5dd85b09cb upstream.

MPX decodes instructions in order to tell which bounds register
was violated.  Part of this decoding involves looking at the "REX
prefix" which is a special instrucion prefix used to retrofit
support for new registers in to old instructions.

The X86_REX_*() macros are defined to return actual bit values:

	#define X86_REX_R(rex) ((rex) & 4)

*not* boolean values.  However, the MPX code was checking for
them like they were booleans.  This might have led to us
mis-decoding the "REX prefix" and giving false information out to
userspace about bounds violations.  X86_REX_B() actually is bit 1,
so this is really only broken for the X86_REX_X() case.

Fix the conditionals up to tolerate the non-boolean values.
