MPX is being removed from the kernel due to a lack of support in the toolchain going forward (gcc). The first step is to remove the userspace-visible ABIs so that applications will stop using it. The most visible one are the enable/disable prctl()s. Remove them first. This is the most minimal and least invasive change needed to ensure that apps stop using MPX with new kernels.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
