48063 Rev. 3.18 October 2012 Revision Guide for AMD Family 15h Models 00h-0Fh Processors 623 Small Code Segment Limits May Cause Incorrect Limit Faults Description In cases where the code segment limit is less than 0_0020h and the Granularity (G) bit is zero, the processor reports an incorrect #GP exception even when no limit violation exists. Potential Effect on System None expected. In the unlikely case that a code segment is 32 bytes or smaller, an unexpected #GP exception may occur. Suggested Workaround None required. It is anticipated that code segment sizes are greater than 32 bytes. Fix Planned Yes Product Errata 43
