摘要： A method for making it possible for a virtualization software (VMM) to generally identify a PCI function of an interrupt requester presupposing the existing I/O devices based on the PCI express is provided. An interrupt relay circuit is provided between an I/O device based on the PCI express and a PCI express bridge. The interrupt relay circuit receives and relays an interrupt transaction issued by the I/O device, and records whether there is an interrupt request in an interrupt indicator in association with an interrupt identifier. A VMM 114 uniquely identifies an I/O device of interrupt requester by referring to the interrupt indicator 134.

摘要： The program attains compatibility of suppression of an overhead accompanying page exception handling in the case of operating a program whose amount of memory use is large on a virtual machine and suppression of the overhead accompanying page exception handling in the case of operating a first OS that has a function of making another OS run on a virtual machine. A VMM creates a shadow PT (Page Table) for prohibiting reading-writing of privileged memory that requires emulation of reading/writing by using a RSV-bit, and registers the shadow PT and the second PT that a second OS operating on the first OS has in an x86 compatible CPU equipped with a page exception detecting function using two PT's. When a page exception occurs, the VMM refers to a cause code of the page exception and, when a P field of the cause code is 0, determines immediately that emulation is unnecessary.

摘要： A method is provided which eliminates redundancy from the shadow PT operation performed by the virtual machine monitor (VMM) when the guest operating system running on a virtual machine updates a guest page table (PT) address. The VMM associates a plurality of shadow PTs with guest PTs and allocates their relation in memory. When it detects the update of a guest PT address, the VMM searches for a shadow PT corresponding to the updated guest PT. If the associated shadow PT exists, the VMM omits rewriting the shadow PT and registers the address of the shadow PT with the central processing unit (CPU). If the associated shadow PT does not exist, the VMM allocates a memory, creates a shadow PT, registers an address of the created shadow PT with the CPU, and records a relationship between the updated guest PT and the generated shadow PT.

摘要： A VMM disables an interrupt interception flag on at least one CPU to execute, upon reception of an interrupt, an interrupt handler code of an OS, and enables the interrupt interception flag on the at least one CPU to execute, upon the reception of the interrupt, an emulator in the VMM. When, to a virtual machine, an I/O device is assigned in a dedicated form, and when the CPU is assigned while the interrupt interception is disabled, a destination of the interrupt from the physical I/O device is set to the corresponding CPU on which the interrupt interception is disabled. When, to the virtual machine, the I/O device is assigned in a shared form, or when the CPU is assigned while the interrupt interception is disabled, the destination of the interrupt from the physical I/O device is set to the corresponding CPU on which the interrupt interception is enabled.
