https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65561 --- Comment #23 from Jidong Xiao <jidong.xiao@xxxxxxxxx> --- Jatin, do you mean that if one instruction triggers a VM_EXIT, then it won't trigger the emulate code? So why the emulate code tries to emulate those privileged instructions, like wrmsr, rdmsr, mov cr to reg, mov dr to reg, I think these instructions will trigger VM_EXIT anyway, but we see the kvm emulator still attempt to emulate them.
