Virtualization Optimizations
After the PAL_VP_INIT_ENV procedure is called, execution of the virtualized
instructions listed in
Table 3-10, “Virtualized Instructions” on page 2:44
with
PSR.vm==1 results in virtualization intercepts to the VMM. Virtualization optimizations
reduce overall virtualization overhead by allowing these instructions to execute, with
PSR.vm==1, without causing intercepts to the VMM. There are two types of
virtualization optimizations – global and local. Local virtualization optimizations are
further divided into virtualization accelerations and virtualization disables.
Global virtualization optimizations are specified during initialization of the virtual
environment (i.e., during PAL_VP_INIT_ENV). The specified optimizations are
applicable to all the virtual processors running in the virtual environment. See
11.7.4.1, “Global Virtualization Optimizations”
for details on the global virtualization
optimizations supported in the architecture.
Local virtualization optimizations are specified during the creation of the virtual
processor (i.e., during PAL_VP_CREATE). The optimization settings were specified in the
VPD and hence local to each virtual processor. The VMM can specify different local
optimization settings for different virtual processors. The two classes of local
virtualization optimizations are:
• Virtualization accelerations – Virtualization accelerations optimize the execution of
virtualized instructions by supporting fast access to the virtual instance of the
