The fastop SETcc implementation in kvm's insn emulator uses macro magic to generate all possible SETcc functions and to jump to them when emulating the respective instruction. However, it hardcodes the size and alignment of those functions to 4: a three-byte SETcc insn and a single-byte RET. BUT, with SLS, there's an INT3 that gets slapped after the RET, which brings the whole scheme out of alignment: 15: 0f 90 c0 seto %al 18: c3 ret 19: cc int3 1a: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 1d: 0f 91 c0 setno %al 20: c3 ret 21: cc int3 22: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 25: 0f 92 c0 setb %al 28: c3 ret 29: cc int3 and this e...
