[PATCH 18/21] KVM: x86: Emulator mis-decodes VEX instructions on real-mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit 7fe864dc942c ("KVM: x86: Emulator considers imm as memory operand")
marked VEX instructions as such in protected mode.  VEX-prefix instructions are
not supported relevant on real-mode and VM86, but should cause #UD instead of
being decoded as LES/LDS.

Fix this behaviour to be consistent with real hardware.
