ID
System
Identification Bit. The ability to set and clear this bit indicates that the CPUID instruction is sup-
ported. The ID can be modified only if the CPUID bit in CCR4 (Index E8h[7]) is set.

AC
System
Alignment Check Enable. In conjunction with the AM flag (bit 18) in CR0, the AC flag deter-
mines whether or not misaligned accesses to memory cause a fault. If AC is set, alignment
faults are enabled.

VM
System
Virtual 8086 Mode. If set while in protected mode, the processor switches to virtual 8086 oper-
ation handling segment loads as the 8086 does, but generating exception 13 faults on privileged
opcodes. The VM bit can be set by the IRET instruction (if current privilege level is 0) or by task
switches at any privilege level.

RF
Debug
Resume Flag. Used in conjunction with debug register breakpoints. RF is checked at instruction
boundaries before breakpoint exception processing. If set, any debug fault is ignored on the next
instruction.

NT
System
Nested Task. While executing in protected mode, NT indicates that the execution of the current
task is nested within another task.

IOPL
System
I/O Privilege Level. While executing in protected mode, IOPL indicates the maximum current
privilege level (CPL) permitted to execute I/O instructions without generating an exception 13
fault or consulting the I/O permission bit map. IOPL also indicates the maximum CPL allowing
alteration of the IF bit when new values are popped into the EFLAGS register.

OF
Arithmetic
Overflow Flag. Set if the operation resulted in a carry or borrow into the sign bit of the result but
did not result in a carry or borrow out of the high-order bit. Also set if the operation resulted in a
carry or borrow out of the high-order bit but did not result in a carry or borrow into the sign bit of
the result.

DF
Control
Direction Flag. When cleared, DF causes string instructions to auto-increment (default) the
appropriate index registers (ESI and/or EDI). Setting DF causes auto-decrement of the index
registers to occur.
