--- Comment #190 from rozhuk.im at gmail.com ---
"On AMD, the tool discovered that some processors generate
a #UD (undefined opcode) exception prior to completing the
instruction fetch. Per AMD specifications, a #PF (page fault)
exception occurring during an instruction fetch should
supersede a #UD exception, but in the instruction search,
which places the last bytes of the instruction on a non
-
executable page, some processors generate the #UD before the
final bytes are moved off of the read/write page. It appears
that AMD discovered this at around the same time as this
research; the newest AMD Architecture Programmer’s
Manual (March 2017) was updated to allow this situation."
