Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for controlling virtual machines based on performance counters are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an event counter, a comparator, and virtualization control logic. The event counter is to keep an event count based on the number of occurrences of an event. The comparator is to determine whether the event count has reached a threshold value. The virtualization control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus from a guest to a host in response to the comparator determining that the event count has reached the threshold value.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for delivering an interrupt to a virtual processor are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface to receive an interrupt request, delivery logic, and exit logic. The delivery logic is to determine, based on an attribute of the interrupt request, whether the interrupt request is to be delivered to the virtual processor. The exit logic is to transfer control to a host if the delivery logic determines that the interrupt request is not to be delivered to the virtual processor.
