If you think the scenario is correct, then it should be an event causes a VM exit indirectly. So if both the scenario which I mentioned and "This function assumes it is called with the exit reason in vmcs02 being a #PF exception" can happen, then maybe we should figure out how to fix both scenarios suitable. > architectural state as it would have if it had it not caused the VM > exit: > - A debug exception does not update DR6, DR7.GD, or > IA32_DEBUGCTL.LBR.

Yeah, it should be done for "This function assumes it is called with the exit reason in vmcs02 being a #PF exception". Regards, Wanpeng Li
