Hypervisor setup and operation cycle
❱
2.1.
Hypervisor setup and operation cycle
2.2.
(1) Enable: System software enables HW VT and becomes a hypervisor
2.3.
(2) Set up: The hypervisor creates and sets up a "context structure" representing a guest
2.4.
(3) Switch to: The hypervisor asks the processor to load the context structure into hardware-registers and start running in guest-mode
2.5.
(4) Return from: The processor switches back to the host-mode on certain events in the guest-mode
2.6.
(5) Handle: The hypervisor typically emulates the event and does (3), repeating the process
