compatibility mode and interrupt

427 Views

If CPU executes a code in compatibility mode(IA-32e) and an interrupt happens. Can interrupt handler be a non 64 bit code segment?
If CPL does not change in compatibility and i do IRET, it will pop SS:RSP and breaks the stack!!
Can a trap gate reference a non 64 bit code segment in IA-32e?
