Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
As the subject says. Is it possible to call sysenter in v8086 mode?
The manual clearly states that it's possible from all modes but real-address mode. The call itself clears eflags.vm to ensure protected mode, it says.
That must mean that sysenter must work from V8086 mode. Yet using Bochs I get a GPF, and it prints "SYSENTER not from protected mode !" in the console. For some reason I get no reaction on a real machine yet, but I'm working on it
Well, I can report that it works on a real machine..
It's just a real PITA that it doesn't work in Bochs. That means that I'll either have to write a virtual mode monitor or just screw v8086 mode when using bochs.. Would anyone know where I can report this bug?
