Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a virtual machine (VM) exit processing accelerator. An example method comprises: intercepting, by a VM exit processing accelerator, a VM exit associated with the virtual machine; responsive to determining that an identifier of a reason of the VM exit satisfies a first condition, processing the VM exit by the VM exit processing accelerator; and resuming execution of the virtual machine.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for implementing a thin hypervisor. The thin hypervisor does not have any direct association with a VM. The thin hypervisor serves as a wrapper over hardware capabilities of a processor. The processor has privileged low-level capabilities EPT VTX, AMD V and the ARM has virtualization technology. In order to use processor hardware capabilities and receiving root privileges, the system operates in a “super user” mode. The VM operates in a VM environment with kernel privileges in a user mode. A super user space is created in a safe mode. A user space application (or a process) is created. A user space virtualization framework library is used. These entities may be separated by a user space and a kernel (OS) space. A thin hypervisor is implemented in the user space.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing a virtual machine (VM) exit processing accelerator. An example method comprises: reading, from a first memory location, a first virtual machine (VM) exit handler address referencing a hypervisor; storing, in a second memory location, the first VM exit handler address; storing, in the first memory location, a second VM exit handler address referencing a VM exit processing accelerator; receiving, by the VM exit processing accelerator, a VM exit associated with a virtual machine; responsive to determining that an identifier of a reason of the VM exit satisfies the first condition, processing the VM exit by the VM exit processing accelerator; and resuming execution of the virtual machine.
