    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided to control transitions between a virtual machine (VM) and Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM). A processor uses state action indicators to load and/or store associated elements of machine state before completing the transition. The state action indicators may be stored in a Virtual Machine Control Structure (VMCS), predetermined, and/or calculated dynamically. In some embodiments, the values loaded can be directly acquired from the VMCS, predetermined and/or calculated dynamically. In some embodiments, the values stored may be acquired directly from machine state, predetermined and/or calculated dynamically.

    Abstract: A processor of an aspect includes a decode unit to decode an exception handler return instruction. The processor also includes an exception handler return execution unit coupled with the decode unit. The exception handler return execution unit, responsive to the exception handler return instruction, is to not configure the processor to enable delivery of a subsequently received nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to an NMI handler if an exception, which corresponds to the exception handler return instruction, was taken within the NMI handler. The exception handler return execution unit, responsive to the exception handler return instruction, is to configure the processor to enable the delivery of the subsequently received NMI to the NMI handler if the exception was not taken within the NMI handler. Other processors, methods, systems, and instructions are disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for efficient TLB (translation look-aside buffer) shoot-downs for heterogeneous devices sharing virtual memory in a multi-core system. Embodiments of an apparatus for efficient TLB shoot-downs may include a TLB to store virtual address translation entries, and a memory management unit, coupled with the TLB, to maintain PASID (process address space identifier) state entries corresponding to the virtual address translation entries. The PASID state entries may include an active reference state and a lazy-invalidation state. The memory management unit may perform atomic modification of PASID state entries responsive to receiving PASID state update requests from devices in the multi-core system and read the lazy-invalidation state of the PASID state entries. The memory management unit may send PASID state update responses to the devices to synchronize TLB entries prior to activation responsive to the respective lazy-invalidation state.
