Processor Virtualization
Processors in the Itanium Processor Family may optionally implement a mechanism to
support processor virtualization. This includes an additional PSR.vm bit (see
3.3.2, “Processor Status Register (PSR)”
), which, when 1, causes certain instructions to
take a Virtualization fault (see
Section 5.6, “Interruption Priorities”
vector (0x6100)” on page 2:209
The set of instructions which are virtualized by PSR.vm are listed in
below.
Processors which support processor virtualization must provide an
implementation-dependent mechanism for disabling the
vmsw
instruction. When
enabled, the
vmsw
instruction functions as described on the
vmsw
instruction page.
When disabled, the
vmsw
instruction always raises a Virtualization fault when executed
at the most privileged level.
Processors which support processor virtualization may provide an
implementation-dependent mechanism to disable virtual machine features, see
“PAL_PROC_GET_FEATURES – Get Processor Dependent Features (17)” on page 2:446
for details.
Processor virtualization is largely invisible to system software, and therefore its effects
on virtualized instructions are not discussed in this document, except on the instruction
description pages themselves.

Table 3-10.
Virtualized Instructions
Class
Virtualized Instructions
All privileged instructions
itc.i, itc.d, itr.i, itr.d, ptc.l, ptc.g, ptc.ga, ptc.e, ptr,
tak, tpa, mov rr, mov pkr, mov cr, mov ibr, mov dbr, mov pmc,
mov to pmd, ssm, rsm, mov psr, rfi, bsw
Some non-privileged

a
a. Virtualization of the
probe
instruction is configurable, see
Section 11.7.4.2.8, “Probe Instruction
for details.
Some non-privileged
instructions (virtualized at
privilege level 0)
Reading AR[ITC] or
AR[RUC] with PSR.si==1
(virtualized at all privilege
levels)
mov from ar.itc, mov from ar.ruc
Instructions which write
privileged registers
mov to ar.itc, mov to ar.ruc
