Dear Linuxppc-dev mailing list,
I used git bisect and found out that the following commit is the problem.

x86/mpx: Rewrite the unmap code
The MPX code needs to clear out bounds tables for memory which
is no longer in use. We do this when a userspace mapping is
torn down (unmapped).
There are two modes:
1. An entire bounds table becomes unused, and can be freed
and its pointer removed from the bounds directory. This
happens either when a large mapping is torn down, or when
a small mapping is torn down and it is the last mapping
"covered" by a bounds table.
2. Only part of a bounds table becomes unused, in which case
we free the backing memory as if MADV_DONTNEED was called.
The old code was a spaghetti mess of "edge" bounds tables
where the edges were handled specially, even if we were
unmapping an entire one. Non-edge bounds tables are always
fully unmapped, but share a different code path from the edge
ones. The old code had a bug where it was unmapping too much
memory. I worked on fixing it for two days and gave up.
I didn't write the original code. I didn't particularly like
it, but it worked, so I left it. After my debug session, I
realized it was undebuggagle *and* buggy, so out it went.
I also wrote a new unmapping test program which uncovers bugs
pretty nicely.
