4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e8efe0379bd93e8219ca0fc6fa80b5dd85b09cb upstream. MPX decodes instructions in order to tell which bounds register was violated. Part of this decoding involves looking at the "REX prefix" which is a special instrucion prefix used to retrofit support for new registers in to old instructions. The X86_REX_*() macros are defined to return actual bit values: #define X86_REX_R(rex) ((rex) & 4) *not* boolean values. However, the MPX code was checking for them like they were booleans. This might have led to us mis-decoding the "REX prefix" and giving false information out to userspace about bounds violations. X86_REX_B() actually is bit 1, so this is really only broken for the X86_REX_X() case. Fix the conditionals up to tolerate the non-boolean values.
