Flags Affected
If protected-mode virtual interrupts are not enabled, IF is set to 0 if the CPL is equal
to or less than the IOPL; otherwise, it is not affected. The other flags in the EFLAGS
register are unaffected.
When protected-mode virtual interrupts are enabled, CPL is 3, and IOPL is less than
3; CLI clears the VIF flag in the EFLAGS register, leaving IF unaffected.
Protected Mode Exceptions
#GP(0) If the CPL is greater (has less privilege) than the IOPL of the
current program or procedure.
#UD If the LOCK prefix is used.
Real-Address Mode Exceptions
#UD If the LOCK prefix is used.
