SENDUIPI



Sends an Unaddressed User-Level Interrupt (UIPI) to the local processor.

The table after the description covers what the source and destinations can be.

source destination(s)
imm #I
reg #I
mN #I

DO NOT support LOCK

The instruction is only supported on processors that implement User-Level Interrupts. It MUST be executed in CPL 3; execution at a higher privilege level SHALL result in an undefined operation or a general-protection exception (#GP), depending on the processor implementation.

The instruction does not take any operands. Attempting to specify a source or destination operand SHALL result in an invalid opcode exception. The target of the interrupt is always the local processor (self-IPI).
