Switching from privileged to non-privileged mode requires a non-privileged instruction according to this link

https://gateoverflow.in/706/gate2001-1-13

But below has been quoted in this link

http://www.cs.rochester.edu/courses/252/spring2014/notes/08_exceptions

Transitions from kernel to user mode are performed explicitly by the operating system, generally at the end of an interrupt handler or kernel call, using a privileged RFE (return from exception) instruction.

Kindly clear this ... Any sort of help is appreciated ... Thanks :)

OS - Privileged,non-privileged concept,typical/crucial
can a non privileged instruction be executed in privileged mode?(like when returning from kernel to user mode) or is it necessary to make it a privileged instruction?

doubt about privileged or non privileged instruction.
Talk about the correctness of following claims. 1) The instruction to switch to kernel mode is an example of a privileged instruction. 2) The instruction to switch to user mode is an example of a privileged instruction. Detailed explanation is needed.
