Hi All,

Is there any register flag in SVM enabled processors to figure out the
running mode of that processor in order to differentiate between hypervisor
execution and guest OS execution?

Also can context switch happen while a processor executes KVM code? If yes,
how is the state of the hypervisor saved including the hidden states?

Thanks,
Anand
