[PATCH] When switching to a vm8086 task, load segments as 16-bit

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

 



According to 16.2.5 in the SDM, eflags.vm in the tss is consulted before loading
and new segments.  If eflags.vm == 1, then the segments are treated as 16-bit
segments.

This fixes an invalid vmentry failure in a custom OS that was happening after
a task switch into vm8086 mode.  Since the segments were being mistakenly
treated as 32-bit, we loaded garbage state.
