[Qemu-devel] [Bug 996798] Re: Incorrect order of task switching

[Yury Popov]

** Description changed:

  In Intel  specifications
  (http://download.intel.com/design/processor/manuals/253668.pdf 7.3), we
  can see:
  
-     8. Saves the state of the current (old) task in the current task’s
+     8. Saves the state of the current (old) task in the current task’s
  TSS.
  
  …
  
-    11. Loads the task register with the segment selector and descriptor
- for the new  task's TSS.
+    12. The TSS state is loaded into the processor
  
  But, in QEMU code
  (https://raw.github.com/qemu/QEMU/v1.0/target-i386/op_helper.c :375),
  the order is reversed: TSS registers & segments loads BEFORE save old
  task state.
