qemu-x86_64 segment prefixes error qemu-x86_64 version 4.1.0 (qemu-x86_64 version 4.0.0 also have the issue) In 64-bit mode (x86_64) the DS, ES, SS or CS segment prefixes should be ignored; qemu-x86_64 does not ignore them. example: an x86_64 instructions preceded by FS DS (0x64 0x26) segment prefixes have the linear address of its memory reference flat-mapped (as if DS was in action) whereas it should be FS-mapped (offset by FS_base, because the DS, ES, SS or CS are just ignored). I attach a small C++ program that shows this discrepancy. $ ./sample I'm not in QEMU $ qemu-x86_64 ./sample I'm in QEMU
