The shortlog makes it sound like "inject a #GP if CR0.PE=1", i.e. unconditionally inject #GP for RDMPC in protected mode. Maybe "Don't inject #GP when emulating RDMPC if CR0.PE=0"?

Realistically it doesn't add value though, so maybe just add a blurb in the changelog saying this isn't strictly necessary? > ctxt->ops->check_pmc(ctxt, rcx)) > return emulate_gp(ctxt, 0); > > -- > 2.25.1 >
