Can you remind me what was special about it? It looks like you
still
emulate them in v8086 mode.
Indeed, sorry, I meant prot mode here. :) So I wonder what was cited to be special about v86.
Initially my patches disabled UMIP on virtual-8086 instructions, without regards of protected mode (i.e., UMIP was always enabled). I didn't have emulation at the time. Then, I added emulation code that now covers protected and virtual-8086 modes. I guess it is not special anymore.
But isn't SLDT&friends just throw UD in v86? How does UMIP affect this? How does your patch affect this?
Er, right. Ricardo, your code may need fixing. But don't you have a test case for this? The behavior should be the same with and without your patches applied. The exception is #UD, not #GP, so maybe your code just never executes in the vm86 case.
