This is causing VM_EXIT for Guest OS. Do we have plans to add support for instructions like 'repz'. > 'repz' is actually an instruction prefix. The two instructions with which 'repz' is allowed are 'cmps' and 'scas'. Both these instructions typically don't need to be emulated since they operate on strings in "regular" guest memory. Is your guest emitting these instructions to access MMIO? Can you share an objdump with the offending instructions? best Neel > RegardsAshutosh > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
