According to my reading of the Intel documentation, the SYSRET instruction is supposed to force the RPL bits of the %ss register to 3 when returning to user mode. The actual sequence is: SS.Selector <-- (IA32_STAR[63:48]+8) OR 3; (* RPL forced to 3 *) However, the code in helper_sysret() leaves them at 0 (in other words, the "OR 3" part of the above sequence is missing). It does set the privilege level bits of %cs correctly though. This has caused me trouble with some of my VxWorks development: code that runs okay on real hardware will crash on QEMU, unless I apply the patch below.
