Certain user space programs that run on virtual-8086 mode may utilize instructions protected by the User-Mode Instruction Prevention (UMIP) security feature present in new Intel processors: SGDT, SIDT and SMSW. In such a case, a general protection fault is issued if UMIP is enabled. When such a fault happens, the kernel traps it and emulates the results of these instructions with dummy values. The purpose of this new test is to verify whether the impacted instructions can be executed without causing such #GP. If no #GP exceptions occur, we expect to exit virtual-8086 mode from INT3. The instructions protected by UMIP are executed in representative use cases: a) displacement-only memory addressing b) register-indirect memory addressing c) results stored directly in operands Unfortunately, it is not possible to check the results against a set of expected values because no emulation will occur in systems that do not have the UMIP feature. Instead, results are printed for verification. A simple verification is done to ensure that results of all tests are identical.
