It sounds like event delivery is masked before the iret, and then you have IF set in the RFLAGS value in the iret frame, which causes event delivery to be unmasked during iret. > I am passing flags==0 and only push the values for flags, CS:RIP, > RFLAGS, and SS:RSP.

The iret implementation (for an x86/64 guest) always expects RAX/R11/RCX on the stack. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
