+QEMU/TCG generates #GP instead #SS for RBP/RSP based faults
+Description of problem:
+Setting RSP/RBP to a non-canonical address and trying to access a memory location based on RSP/RBP generates a #GP under QEMU/TCG while it should generate an #SS exception instead. This difference in behavior triggers a [Xen selftest](https://github.com/xen-project/xen/blob/1145d94c738e/xen/arch/x86/extable.c#L142-L144) violation as can be seen below.

+- A successful run should look like this, e.g. when run under KVM:

+Steps to reproduce:
+The attached program ([noncanon.c](/uploads/34599a2fe23c6bbf1e9efd8cb8704537/noncanon.c)) generates the following output when run on native hardware or under KVM:
+
+```shell-session
+minipli@bell:~$ for i in "" -sp -bp; do ./noncanon $i; done
+Non-canonical acces via RAX: SIGSEGV, signo 11, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+Non-canonical acces via RSP: SIGBUS, signo 7, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+Non-canonical acces via RBP: SIGBUS, signo 7, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+```
+
+However, when run under QEMU using TCG, I get the following output:
+
+```shell-session
+root@box:~# for i in "" -sp -bp; do ./noncanon $i; done
+Non-canonical acces via RAX: SIGSEGV, signo 11, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+Non-canonical acces via RSP: SIGSEGV, signo 11, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+Non-canonical acces via RBP: SIGSEGV, signo 11, error 0, code 128, addr (nil)
+```
+
+Please note how RSP/RBP based access generates SIGSEGV instead of the expected SIGBUS.
+Additional information:
+The problem seems to be that QEMU always generates a #GP for non-canonical addresses, while it should differentiate, based on the register that led to the non-canonical address: #SS if RSP/RBP is involved, #GP otherwise. However, short of an instruction decoder, I don't see how this can easily be told apart.

+Relevant excerpt from the Intel SDM:
+
+> **6.15 EXCEPTION AND INTERRUPT REFERENCE**  
+> [...]  
+> **Interrupt 12—Stack Fault Exception (#SS)**  
+> [...] 
+> - A canonical violation is detected in 64-bit mode during an operation that reference memory using the stack pointer register containing a non-canonical memory address.
+
+Please note the lack of mentioning the base pointer register, but tests on real hardware show it's subject to this as well.
+
+The AMD manual is more precise about that:
+> **8.2.13 #SS—Stack Exception (Vector 12)**  
+> An #SS exception can occur in the following situations:  
+> - Implied stack references in which the stack address is not in canonical form. Implied stack references include all push and pop instructions, and any instruction using RSP or RBP as a base register  
+> [...]
+
+It explicitly mentions "any instruction using RSP or RBP as a base register".
