Sorry for my confusion. I didn’t read the entire thread and thought that the problem is spurious wake-ups. Since that is not the case, I would just suggest two things that you can freely ignore: 1. According to the SDM, when an interrupt is delivered, the interrupt is only delivered on the following instruction, so you may consider skipping the MWAIT first. 2. Perhaps the CPU changes for some reason GUEST_ACTIVITY_STATE (which is not according to the SDM). That is it. No more BS from me.
