These are the instructions covered by UMIP:
* SGDT - Store Global Descriptor Table
* SIDT - Store Interrupt Descriptor Table
* SLDT - Store Local Descriptor Table
* SMSW - Store Machine Status Word
* STR - Store Task Register
This patchset initially treated tasks running in virtual-8086
mode as a
special case. However, I received clarification that DOSEMU[8]
does not
support applications that use these instructions.
Can you remind me what was special about it? It looks like you
still
emulate them in v8086 mode.
Indeed, sorry, I meant prot mode here. :)
So I wonder what was cited to be special about v86.
Initially my patches disabled UMIP on virtual-8086 instructions, without
regards of protected mode (i.e., UMIP was always enabled). I didn't have
emulation at the time. Then, I added emulation code that now covers
protected and virtual-8086 modes. I guess it is not special anymore.
But isn't SLDT&friends just throw UD in v86?
How does UMIP affect this? How does your patch affect
this?
Er, right. Ricardo, your code may need fixing. But don't you have a
test case for this?
Why would you need one?
Or do you really want to allow these instructions
in v86 by the means of emulation? If so - this wasn't
clearly stated in the patch description, neither it was
properly discussed, it seems.
