Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86, mpx: Fixes for 3.19
Date: Mon, 22 Dec 2014 12:08:03 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141222200803.D316DA2A@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)

Andi Lutomirski noticed that the current 3.19 code doesn't support
32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels, but that it is not explicitly
disabled.

I've also noticed a small performance regression that MPX was causing
in some circumstances.  The fix is simple.
