Code segment descriptor can be loaded by jmp/call/ret, iret and int. The privilege checks are different between those instructions above realmode. Although, the emulator has use x86_transfer_type enumerate to differentiate them, but it is not really used in __load_segment_descriptor(). Note, far jump/call to call gate, task gate or task state segment are not implemented in emulator. As for far jump/call to code segment, if DPL > CPL for conforming code or (RPL > CPL or DPL != CPL) for non-conforming code, it should trigger #GP. The current checks are ok. As for far return, if RPL < CPL or DPL > RPL for conforming code or DPL != RPL for non-conforming code, it should trigger #GP. Outer level return is not implemented above virtual-8086 mode in emulator. So it implies that RPL <= CPL, but the current checks wouldn't trigger #GP if RPL < CPL. As for code segment loading in task switch, if DPL > RPL for conforming code or DPL != RPL for non-conforming code, it should trigger #TS. Since segment selector is loaded before segment descriptor when load state from tss, it implies that RPL = CPL, so the current checks are ok. The only problem in current implementation is missing RPL < CPL check for far return. However, change code to follow the manual is better.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
