PAL_VPS_SYNC_WRITE
PAL_VPS_SYNC_WRITE – Synchronize VPD State for Writes
(0x0c00)
Purpose:
Synchronize the implementation-specific virtual architectural state with VPD.
Arguments:
Returns:
Description:
On processor implementations that support virtualization accelerations,
implementation-specific control resources can be provided to enhance performance of
virtual processors. When a specific acceleration is enabled, the VMM must invoke this
service to synchronize the related resources after modifying the value in the VPD and
before resuming the virtual processor. For the accelerations that are disabled, the
corresponding resources in the VPD are ignored.
The synchronization requirements of the related resources for each acceleration are
described in the corresponding sections for each acceleration in
“Virtualization Accelerations” on page 2:337
.
PAL_VPS_SYNC_WRITE performs the following actions:
• Copy values of the enabled accelerations in the VPD into implementation-specific
control resources.
• Return to VMM by an indirect branch specified in the GR24 parameter.
