[Xen-devel] STGI #UD exception

[mythbuster <embarbosa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

AMD manual states about STGI instruction:

"This instruction generates a #UD exception is SVM is not enabled."

However, if I execute in ring-0 the STGI instruction in my system with
EFER.SVME == 0, I receive a #GP exception instead of a #UD exception.
In other test, I just set the SVME bit to 1 and now I receive a #UD
exception! 

Is the manual wrong?

P.S.: My CPU obviously has the SVM extensions (AMD X2 4600+ AM2)
