From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> DM mentioned that, RDPMC: IF (((CR4.PCE = 1) or (CPL = 0) or (CR0.PE = 0)) and (ECX indicates a supported counter)) THEN EAX := counter[31:0]; EDX := ZeroExtend(counter[MSCB:32]); ELSE (* ECX is not valid or CR4.PCE is 0 and CPL is 1, 2, or 3 and CR0.PE is 1 *) #GP(0); FI; Let's add the CR0.PE is 1 checking to rdpmc emulate, though this isn't strictly necessary since it's impossible for CPL to be >0 if CR0.PE=0.
