There are multiple potential screwups here. 1. (What I *thought* was going on) AMD CPUs have screwy IRET behavior that’s different from Intel’s, and the test case was definitely wrong. But KVM has no way to influence it. Are you sure you’re using KVM and not QEMU TCG? Anyway, the IRET thing is minor compared to your other problems, so let’s try to fix them first. 2. Compat fast syscalls are wildly different on AMD and Intel. Because of this issue, QEMU with KVM is supposed to always report the real vendor_id no matter -cpu asks for. If we get the wrong vendor_id, then we’re at the mercy of KVM’s emulation and performance will suck. On older kernels, this would cause hideous kernel crashes. On new kernels, I would expect it to merely crash 32-bit user programs or be slow. > What's worse than registers changes is that some selftests actually lead to > Oops's.

So the big question is: what happened here? Why did the CPU (or emulated CPU) attempt a privileged access to a user address while running user code?
