  • Context-corrupting context switching
    Patent number: 7478394
    Abstract: A virtual machine application interrupts execution of a host OS under software control at a predetermined interruption point, instead of interrupting the execution at an arbitrary instruction. The context of the host OS is saved by using an inconsequential register as temporary storage. Context of the host OS is restored by using an inconsequential register as temporary storage.
