PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage a machine state in virtual machine operations.SOLUTION: Methods and systems are provided to control a transition between a virtual machine (VM) and a virtual machine monitor (VMM). A processor uses state action indicators to load and/or store associated elements of a machine state before completing the transition. The state action indicators may be stored in a virtual machine control structure (VMCS), predetermined, and/or calculated dynamically. In some embodiments, the values loaded can be directly acquired from the VMCS, predetermined and/or calculated dynamically. In some embodiments, the values stored may be acquired directly from the machine state, predetermined and/or calculated dynamically. |
