+From: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
+Subject: x86/hvm: Fix the handling of non-present segments
+
+In 32bit, the data segments may be NULL to indicate that the segment is
+ineligible for use. In both 32bit and 64bit, the LDT selector may be NULL to
+indicate that the entire LDT is ineligible for use. However, nothing in Xen
+actually checks for this condition when performing other segmentation
+checks. (Note however that limit and writeability checks are correctly
+performed).
+
+Neither Intel nor AMD specify the exact behaviour of loading a NULL segment.
+Experimentally, AMD zeroes all attributes but leaves the base and limit
+unmodified. Intel zeroes the base, sets the limit to 0xfffffff and resets the
+attributes to just .G and .D/B.
+
+The use of the segment information in the VMCB/VMCS is equivalent to a native
+pipeline interacting with the segment cache. The present bit can therefore
+have a subtly different meaning, and it is now cooked to uniformly indicate
+whether the segment is usable or not.
+
+GDTR and IDTR don't have access rights like the other segments, but for
+consistency, they are treated as being present so no special casing is needed
+elsewhere in the segmentation logic.
+
+AMD hardware does not consider the present bit for %cs and %tr, and will
+function as if they were present. They are therefore unconditionally set to
+present when reading information from the VMCB, to maintain the new meaning of
+usability.
+
+Intel hardware has a separate unusable bit in the VMCS segment attributes.
+This bit is inverted and stored in the present field, so the hvm code can work
+with architecturally-common state.
+
+This is XSA-191.
