From: Bin Meng <bin.m...@windriver.com> Per the SDM, when returning to outer privilege level, for segment registers (ES, FS, GS, and DS) if the check fails, the segment selector becomes null, but QEMU clears the base/limit/flags as well as nullifying the segment selector, which should be a spec violation.
Real hardware seems to be compliant with the spec, at least on one Coffee Lake board I tested.
