Hi Qiaowei, Does this mean that if userspace decided to map something in the way of the bounds tables that it would break MPX? Also, in the description, could we s/linear/virtual/? Linear seems to be the term that Intel likes to use in its documents, but we almost universally call them virtual addresses in the kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
