Indeed - but note that they are crashing as root as well here:
root@deimos:/home/mingo/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86# ./mpx-mini-test_64
[...]
Aborted (core dumped)
... because I don't even have /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid... :-/
That's despite having ftrace enabled.
After some digging I found out that 'set_ftrace_pid' is dependent on
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACING=y (not just CONFIG_TRACING=y), which I didn't
have enabled on this kernel.
After enabling it I got the 64-bit testcase to work:
#
...
./mpx-mini-test_64 completed successfully
But the 32-bit testcase is erroring out:
root@deimos:/home/mingo/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86# ./mpx-mini-test_32

#BR status == 2, missing bounds table,kernel should have handled!!
v4.17-rc2 based kernel, so it should have the latest MPX code.
Thanks,
