Hello all,

Looking forward for your feedback!

Thanks and regards,
-Fred


This patch series adds support for the Intel(R) Memory Protection Extension MPX
registers.  Native and remote debugging are covered by this patch.

New registers are bound registers known as bnd register (bnd0...bnd3), a
configuration register bndcfgu and a status register bndstatus.  Bound registers
store pointer bounds, i.e. bound limits of a pointer.  Bndstatus and bndcfgu
store information of the current status and configuration of other MPX
counterparts.  For more information [1][2].

Design notes:
Bound register are represented in hardware as two fields of 64bits each, both in
64bit and 32bit mode. The fields are lower bound and upper bound. Upper bound
value is a complement of one value of the upper limiting address. To take this
into account the bnd0...bnd3 are created as pseudo registers while the hardware
values are stored on bnd0raw...bnd3raw.

Ok to commit?

Changes between V1 and V2:

	* Folowing the Mark Kettenis feedback: Orig_rax and orig_eax are left as the
	last register on the internal list.
	* Ported gcc file used for cpuid and corrected overlooked condition to 
	detect MPX hardware while performing MPX related tests. 

Changes between V2 and V3:

	* Small changes on changelogs: "Add MPX support for i386" and "Add 
	support for MPX amd64".
	* Add MPX feature documentation as extra patch.



Walfred Tedeschi (8):
  Fix conditions in creating a bitfield.
  Add MPX registers XML files.
  Add MPX support for i386
  MPX for amd64
  Add MPX support to gdbserver.
  Add pretty-printer for MPX bnd registers.
  Add MPX registers tests.
  Add MPX feature description to GDB manual.
