DELAYED POPULATION OF ADVANCED CONFIGURATION AND POWER INTERFACE (ACPI) TABLES BY HYPERVISOR

摘要

A system and method for system table modification in a virtualized computer system are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, a hypervisor that is executed by a computer system detects an attempt by a guest operating system of a virtual machine to access a system table. In response to the detecting, the hypervisor determines a hardware configuration of the virtual machine, and populates one or more entries of the system table in view of the hardware configuration.
