Subject: [PATCH 4/5] x86/mpx: remove build infratsructure
Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 09:49:42 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1546624183-26543-5-git-send-email-dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1546624183-26543-1-git-send-email-dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
MPX is being removed from the kernel due to a lack of support
in the toolchain going forward (gcc).
Remove the Kconfig option and the Makefile line. This makes
arch/x86/mm/mpx.c and anything under an #ifdef for
X86_INTEL_MPX dead code.

- MPX provides hardware features that can be used in
- conjunction with compiler-instrumented code to check
- memory references. It is designed to detect buffer
- overflow or underflow bugs.
-
- This option enables running applications which are
- instrumented or otherwise use MPX. It does not use MPX
- itself inside the kernel or to protect the kernel
- against bad memory references.
-
- Enabling this option will make the kernel larger:
- ~8k of kernel text and 36 bytes of data on a 64-bit
- defconfig. It adds a long to the 'mm_struct' which
- will increase the kernel memory overhead of each
- process and adds some branches to paths used during
- exec() and munmap().
