Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ anonymous enum

anonymous enum

Additional (virtual) VMCS fields.

The VMCS offsets defined here are actually not in the hardware VMCS. However our VMMs run in user mode and need to have access to certain registers available in kernel mode only. So we put them into our version of the VMCS.

Enumerator
L4_VM_VMX_VMCS_CR2 

VMCS offset for CR2.

Note
You usually need to check this value against the value you get from l4_vm_vmx_get_cr2_index() to make sure you are running on a compatible kernel.
L4_VM_VMX_VMCS_XCR0 

VMCS offset of extended control register XCR0.

L4_VM_VMX_VMCS_MSR_SYSCALL_MASK 

VMCS offset of system call flag mask MSR.
