INTERRUPT AND EXCEPTION HANDLING

The opcodes D6 and F1 are undefined opcodes that are reserved by the IA-32 architecture.
These opcodes, even though undefined, do not generate an invalid opcode exception.

The UD2 instruction is guaranteed to generate an invalid opcode exception.

Exception Error Code

None.

Saved Instruction Pointer

The saved contents of CS and EIP registers point to the instruction that generated the exception.

Program State Change

A program-state change does not accompany an invalid-opcode fault, because the invalid
instruction is not executed.
