    Subject[PATCH 05/16] x86, mpx: trace ranged MPX operations
    From
    Date

    From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

    trace when MPX is zapping pages:

    When MPX can not free an entire bounds table, it will instead
    try to zap unused parts of a bounds table to free the backing
    memory. This decreases RSS (resident set size) without
    decreasing the virtual space allocated for bounds tables.

    trace attempts to find bounds tables:

    This event traces any time we go looking to unmap a bounds table
    for a given virtual address range. This is useful to ensure
    that the kernel actually "tried" to free a bounds table versus
    times it succeeded.

    It might try and fail if it realized that a table was shared
    with an adjacent VMA which is not being unmapped.
