<h1>ARPL -- Adjust RPL Field of Selector</h1>
<pre>
Opcode Instruction Clocks Description
63 /r ARPL r/m16,r16 pm=20/21 Adjust RPL of r/m16 to not
less than RPL of r16
</pre>
<h2>Operation</h2>
<pre>
IF RPL bits(0,1) of DEST &lt; RPL bits(0,1) of SRC
THEN
ZF := 1;
RPL bits(0,1) of DEST := RPL bits(0,1) of SRC;
ELSE
ZF := 0;
FI;
</pre>
<h2>Description</h2>
The ARPL instruction has two operands. The first operand is a 16-bit memory variable or word register that contains the value of a selector. The second operand is a word register. If the RPL field (&quot;requested privilege level&quot;--bottom two bits) of the first operand is less than the RPL field of the second operand, the zero flag is set to 1 and the RPL field of the first operand is increased to match the second operand. Otherwise, the zero flag is set to 0 and no change is made to the first operand.
<p>ARPL appears in operating system software, not in application programs. It is used to guarantee that a selector parameter to a subroutine does not request more privilege than the caller is allowed. The second operand of ARPL is normally a register that contains the CS selector value of the caller.
<h2>Flags Affected</h2>
ZF as described above
<h2>Protected Mode Exceptions</h2>
#GP(0) if the result is in a nonwritable segment; #GP(0) for an illegal memory operand effective address in the CS, DS, ES, FS, or GS segments; #SS(0) for an illegal address in the SS segment; #PF(fault-code) for a page fault
<h2>Real Address Mode Exceptions</h2>
Interrupt 6; ARPL is not recognized in Real Address Mode
<h2>Virtual 8086 Mode Exceptions</h2>
Same exceptions as in Real Address Mode; #PF(fault-code) for a page fault
