3.1.2 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) forIA-32, Intel® 64 and Intel® Architecture (Intel® VT-x) Features

The processor core supports the following Intel VT-x features:

• Extended Page Tables (EPT)

— EPT is hardware assisted page table virtualization

— It eliminates VM exits from guest operating system to the VMM for shadow

page-table maintenance

• Virtual Processor IDs (VPID)

— Ability to assign a VM ID to tag processor core hardware structures (such as

TLBs)

— This avoids flushes on VM transitions to give a lower-cost VM transition time

and an overall reduction in virtualization overhead

• Guest Preemption Timer

— Mechanism for a VMM to preempt the execution of a guest operating system

after an amount of time specified by the VMM. The VMM sets a timer value

before entering a guest.

— The feature aids VMM developers in flexibility and Quality of Service (QoS)

guarantees

• Descriptor-Table Exiting

— Descriptor-table exiting allows a VMM to protect a guest operating system from

internal (malicious software based) attack by preventing relocation of key

system data structures like IDT (interrupt descriptor table), GDT (global

descriptor table), LDT (local descriptor table), and TSS (task segment selector)

— A VMM using this feature can intercept (by a VM exit) attempts to relocate

these data structures and prevent them from being tampered by malicious

software

3.1.3 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for DirectedI/O (Intel® VT-d) Objectives

The key Intel VT-d objectives are domain-based isolation and hardware-based

virtualization. A domain can be abstractly defined as an isolated environment in a

platform to which a subset of host physical memory is allocated. Virtualization allows

for the creation of one or more partitions on a single system. This could be multiple

partitions in the same operating system, or there can be multiple operating system

instances running on the same system – offering benefits such as system

consolidation, legacy migration, activity partitioning, or security.
