[PATCH 03/17] x86, mpx: trace #BR exceptions

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Wed Apr 22 2015 - 14:31:19 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is the first in a series of MPX tracing patches.
I've found these extremely useful in the process of
debugging applications and the kernel code itself.

This exception hooks in to the bounds (#BR) exception
very early and allows capturing the key registers which
would influence how the exception is handled.

Note that bndcfgu/bndstatus are technically still
64-bit registers even in 32-bit mode.
