Pedro reported: During tests that we conducted on KVM, we noticed that executing a "PUSH %ES" instruction under KVM produces different results on both memory and the SP register depending on whether EPT support is enabled. With EPT the SP is reduced by 4 bytes (and the written value is 0-padded) but without EPT support it is only reduced by 2 bytes. The difference can be observed when the CS.DB field is 1 (32-bit) but not when it's 0 (16-bit). The internal segment descriptor cache exist even in real/vm8096 mode. The CS.D also should be respected instead of just default operand/address-size/66H prefix/67H prefix during instruction decoding. This patch fixes it by also adjusting operand/address-size according to CS.D.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
