I think the the solution follows this logic, meaning we inject an interrupt, intercept execution of its handler (cpl is 0), save cpu context, execute the code we want, push a return address, and force the process to execute IRET instruction which will complete the cleaning, restore cpl to 3 and let the process resume its normal execution. I'll continue to dig this to see if there is any better approach, thanks for your help :) Yacine -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
