PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL
PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL – Resume Virtual Processor Normal
(0x0000)
Purpose:
Resumes the current virtual processor. This service is used when vpsr.ic is 1. This
service can also be used independent of the state of vpsr.ic if all virtualization
accelerations and disables are disabled.
Arguments:
Returns:
PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL does not return to the VMM.
Description:
On interruptions or intercepts, PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL allows the VMM to resume
the same virtual processor where the vpsr.ic is 1. PAL_VP_RESTORE can be used to
restore the state of a different virtual processor.
The VMM specifies the VBR0 of the virtual processor in GR24 and the 64-bit virtual
pointer to the VPD in GR25.
The VMM is responsible for setting up all the required virtual processor state in the
architectural registers as well as in the VPD prior to invoking this service. See
for
details.
PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL must be called with PSR.bn equal to 0.
If all virtualization accelerations and disables are disabled, PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL
can also be used to resume to the guest independent on the state of vpsr.ic.

Table 11-122. Virtual Processor Settings in Architectural Resources for
PAL_VPS_RESUME_NORMAL and PAL_VPS_RESUME_HANDLER
Resource
Description
Bank 1 GRs
Contains state of bank 0/1 GRs of the virtual processor (depends on
vpsr.bn.)
FRs
Contains floating-point register state of the virtual processor.
Predicate Register
Contains the predicates of the virtual processor.
Branch Registers
BR1-BR7 contains the state of the virtual processor. BR0 of the virtual
processor resides in bank 0 GR24.
Application Registers
Contains application register state of the virtual processor.
Interval Timer Offset Register
a
If guest MOV-from-AR.ITC optimization is enabled, this register contains
an offset, programmed by the VMM, to ensure that guest reads of ITC get
the proper value.
Interruption Control Registers
IIP, IPSR and IFS contains the IP, PSR and CFM of the virtual processor.
See
for the PSR settings for the execution of the virtual
processor. The rest of the interruption control registers are don’t cares. For
PAL_VPS_RESUME_HANDLER, the virtual interruption control registers
are specified in the VPD. See
Section 11.7.4, “Virtualization Optimizations”
for synchronization of VPD resources before resuming the
virtual processor.
