If the User-Mode Instruction Prevention CPU feature is available and enabled, a general protection fault will be issued if the instructions sgdt, sldt, sidt, str or smsw are executed from user-mode context (CPL > 0). If the fault was caused by any of the instructions protected by UMIP, fixup_umip_exception() will emulate dummy results for these instructions as follows: if running a 32-bit process, sgdt, sidt and smsw are emulated; str and sldt are not emulated. No emulation is done for 64-bit processes.
If emulation is successful, the result is passed to the user space program and no SIGSEGV signal is emitted. Please note that fixup_umip_exception() also caters for the case when the fault originated while running in virtual-8086 mode.
