Exception conditions

When an instruction of the class raises each exception, and in which processor modes. Protected mode includes compatibility mode. How to read the table.
ExceptionRealVirtual-8086Protected64-bitCondition
#UDyesyesnonoAlways: real and virtual-8086 mode have no VEX prefix.
#UDnonoyesyesThe operating system has not enabled the AVX state: CR4.OSXSAVE is 0, or XCR0 bits 1 and 2 (SSE and AVX state) are not both 1.
#UDyesyesyesyesThe instruction has a LOCK prefix (F0).
#UDnonoyesyesA REX, F2, F3 or 66 prefix comes before the VEX prefix.
#UDyesyesyesyesThe processor lacks the instruction’s extension: its CPUID feature flag is 0.
#UDnonoyesyesVEX.vvvv is not 1111b: these moves have no second source register.
#NMyesyesyesyesCR0.TS (task switched, bit 3) is 1.
#SS(0)nonoyesnoA memory operand addressed through SS lies outside the stack segment.
#SS(0)nononoyesA memory operand addressed through SS has a non-canonical address.
#GP(0)nonoyesnoA memory operand in the CS, DS, ES, FS or GS segment has an effective address that the segment does not allow, such as one beyond its limit.
#GP(0)nononoyesA memory operand has a non-canonical address.
#GP(0)yesyesnonoA memory operand extends past offset FFFFh of its segment.
#PF(fault-code)noyesyesyesAccessing a memory operand causes a page fault.

Notes

XED gives the unaligned moves a class of their own. Their memory operand may have any alignment, and the pages of the manual add #UD for an unused VEX.vvvv field that is not 1111b.

The pages of VMOVUPS and VMOVUPD note that their treatment of #AC varies, although the Type 4 table has no #AC row.

Instructions

Intel XED puts forms of 3 mnemonics in this class, listed here by extension. Where a mnemonic also has forms of other classes, its link leads to its first form of this one.
