MPX (without MAWA extension) cannot handle addresses above 47 bits, so we need to make sure that MPX cannot be enabled if we already have a VMA above the boundary and forbid creating such VMAs once MPX is enabled. The patch implements mpx_unmapped_area_check() which is called from all variants of get_unmapped_area() to check if the requested address fits mpx. On enabling MPX, we check if we already have any vma above 47-bit boundary and forbit the enabling if we do. As long as DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW is equal to TASK_SIZE_MAX, the change is nop. It will change when we allow userspace to have mappings above 47-bits. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
