To my understanding now, "If an event causes a VM exit directly, it does not update architectural state as it would have if it had it not caused the VM exit:", means: in NMI case, NMI would involve the NMI handler, and change the "architectural state" to NMI block. In VMX non-root mode, the behavior of calling NMI handler changed(determine by some VMCS fields), but not the affection to the "architectural state". So the NMI block state would remain the same. -- regards Yang, Sheng -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
