Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for injecting virtualization events in a layered virtualization architecture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes virtual machine entry logic, recognition logic, and evaluation logic. The virtual machine entry logic is to initiate a transfer of control of the apparatus from a host to a guest running on a virtual machine. The recognition logic is to recognize a request from the host to inject a virtualization event into the virtual machine. The evaluation logic is to identify an intervening monitor to handle the virtualization event.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for executing a protected device model in a virtual machine are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes recognition logic, memory management logic, control logic, and execution logic. The recognition logic is to recognize an indication, during execution of first code on a virtual machine, that the first code is attempting to access a device. The memory management logic is to prevent the virtual machine from accessing a portion of memory during execution of the first code, and to allow the virtual machine to access the portion of memory in response to the indication. The control logic is to transfer control of the apparatus from the first code to second code stored in the portion of memory, without exiting the virtual machine. The execution logic is to execute the second code to model the device.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for guests to access memory mapped devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes evaluation logic and exit logic. The evaluation logic is to determine, in response to an attempt of a guest to access a device using a memory address mapped to the device and based on an access type, whether the access is allowed. The exit logic is to transfer control to a host if the evaluation logic determines that the access is not allowed.

Abstract: Methods and systems to provide support for single stepping a virtual machine in a virtual machine environment are disclosed. An exemplary method may include receiving a request to transition control to a virtual machine (VM) from a virtual machine monitor (VMM), determining that a single-stepping indicator is set to a single stepping value, and transitioning control to the VM. Further, if an execution of a first instruction in the VM completes successfully, control is transitioned to the VMM following the successful completion of the execution of the first instruction.
