*** Changes since GDB 7.11
+* Intel MPX bound violation handling.
+
+ Segmentation faults caused by a Intel MPX boundary violation
+ now display the kind of violation (upper or lower), the memory
+ address accessed and the memory bounds, along with the usual
+ signal received and code location.
+
+ For example:
+
+ Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault
+ Upper bound violation while accessing address 0x7fffffffc3b3
+ Bounds: [lower = 0x7fffffffc390, upper = 0x7fffffffc3a3]
+ 0x0000000000400d7c in upper () at i386-mpx-sigsegv.c:68
