Seeing your recent questions on this list aren't really about KVM development, but rather about VMX (apparently) basics, I suggest you also grab yourself a copy of the Intel Software Manual - see volume 3 of: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/architectures-software-developer-manuals.html which answers all of your recent questions. About this question - as far as I know there is no way to specifically cause exit only on the UD2 instruction. What you can do, however, is to cause exit on any #UD exception, including the one generated by UD2. The VMCS has an "exception bitmap" which defines which exceptions cause an exit, and you can turn on the #UD bit to ask for this exit. -- Nadav Har'El | Monday, Nov 14 2011, n...@math.technion.ac.il |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Willpower: The ability to eat only one http://nadav.harel.org.il |salted peanut. -- 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
