"syscall" and "sysret" are the new instructions (introduced by both AMD64 and Intel EM64T).


Cool, so I haven´t to write these 2 opcodes by myself anymore Smile

I don't want to be tedious, but there are some inconsistencies...

"more strict checking of operands for few instructions" added - "mov ds,eax" is in fact invalid instruction, since such MOV always uses 16-bit size (use "mov ds,ax" instead, there will be no any prefix added).

Intel Instruction Set Reference wrote:

... MOV DS, EAX ...
When the processor executes the instruction with a 32-bit general-purpose register, it assumes that the 16 least-significant bits of the general-purpose register are the destination or source operand.

Privalov wrote:
However "mov eax,ds" is still allowed, because in this exceptional case the all 32 bits of target are affected (the value is zero-extended).

Intel Instruction Set Reference wrote:

... MOV EAX, DS ...
If the register is a destination operand, the resulting value in the two high-order bytes of the register is implementation dependent. For the Pentium 4, Intel Xeon, and P6 family processors, the two high-order bytes are filled with zeros; for earlier 32-bit IA-32 processors, the two high order bytes are undefined.

Yeah, there are. The AMD has it a bit more clear.
