I'm looking for an emulator where I could load an entire (recent) OS, like Linux 2.6 or Windows XP and run multiple, potentially CPU intensive, services (IIS, Apache, MySQL, etc). For the needs of the project I need to be able to know every instruction executed by the guest OS, and run custom code whenever an instruction of particular interest appears (doesn't really matter whether it's C or x86, but preferably the first). So my first question is whether we could run Linux 2.6 and most importantly Windows XP on qemu without stability issues. Second, does the current design of qemu allows me to implement the functionality described in the above paragraph. The developed code will be released under GPL and could be later incorporated in qemu if it provides commonly desired functionality. Finally, what's the performance of qemu compared with a PC (how many times slower)?
