IRET/IRETD—Interrupt Return
Virtual-8086 Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) If the return instruction pointer is not within the return code
segment limit.
IF IOPL not equal to 3.
#PF(fault-code) If a page fault occurs.
#SS(0) If the top bytes of stack are not within stack limits.
#AC(0) If an unaligned memory reference occurs and alignment
checking is enabled.
#UD If the LOCK prefix is used.
Compatibility Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) If EFLAGS.NT[bit 14] = 1.
Other exceptions same as in Protected Mode.
64-Bit Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) If EFLAGS.NT[bit 14] = 1.
If the return code segment selector is NULL.
If the stack segment selector is NULL going back to compatibility
mode.
If the stack segment selector is NULL going back to CPL3 64-bit
mode.
If a NULL stack segment selector RPL is not equal to CPL going
back to non-CPL3 64-bit mode.
If the return instruction pointer is not within the return code
segment limit.
If the return instruction pointer is non-canonical.
#GP(Selector) If a segment selector index is outside its descriptor table limits.
If a segment descriptor memory address is non-canonical.
If the segment descriptor for a code segment does not indicate
it is a code segment.
If the proposed new code segment descriptor has both the D-bit
and L-bit set.
If the DPL for a nonconforming-code segment is not equal to the
RPL of the code segment selector.
If CPL is greater than the RPL of the code segment selector.
If the DPL of a conforming-code segment is greater than the
return code segment selector RPL.
If the stack segment is not a writable data segment.
If the stack segment descriptor DPL is not equal to the RPL of
the return code segment selector.
