Alright, so I'm trying to classify this bug report related to QEMU. The issue is about the LSL and LAR instructions causing QEMU to crash, whereas according to the CPU behavior, these instructions should just do nothing (nop) if there's an invalid segment descriptor.
First, let me break down what the problem says. When using LSL or LAR in assembly code with invalid operands, the CPU doesn't execute them and leaves the ZF flag cleared without loading anything into the destination operand. But when this happens in QEMU, it crashes instead of behaving like a nop.
Looking at the provided code example:
void main() {
asm("mov rax, 0xa02e698e741f5a6a");
asm("mov rbx, 0x20959ddd7a0aef");
asm("lsl ax, bx");
}
The LSL instruction here is trying to load a segment limit from an invalid source. According to the manual, this should result in a nop and clear ZF. However, QEMU crashes instead.
Now, considering the categories: instruction, syscall, runtime. The bug report mentions that the issue arises with specific instructions (LSL and LAR). It's not related to system calls or other runtime errors; it's specifically about how these instructions are handled.
So, this seems like a problem with how QEMU handles certain instructions. It's not crashing due to a system call error but because of how it processes the LSL instruction when given invalid operands.
