[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] target-i386: fix CPL computation


From: Paolo Bonzini
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] target-i386: fix CPL computation
Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 18:56:53 +0200

CS.RPL is not equal to the CPL in the few instructions between
setting CR0.PE and reloading CS.  We get this right in the common
case, because writes to CR0 do not modify the CPL, but it would
not be enough if an SMI comes exactly during that brief period.

So this patch fixes the CPL to come from SS.DPL instead, which
requires a couple changes to make access rights correct for VM86
mode, and to override the CPL to CS.RPL during task switches (more
details in patch 2).

Tested with FreeDOS and kvm-unit-tests.

Paolo Bonzini (3):
  target-i386: fix segment flags for SMM and VM86 mode
  target-i386: prepare CPL checks for next patch
  target-i386: get CPL from SS.DPL
