Abstract: Reconstituting a machine image separates constituent parts of a machine image, and for each part, determines whether an exact version of the part is available on the target machine. If an exact version of the part is not available on the target machine, an inexact part is looked for on the target machine. Whether an inexact part is found may be determined based on attribute policy specification and similarity computation. For the inexact part found on the target machine, any dependencies may be identified and processed as a part to be reconstituted for the machine image. If no exact part and no inexact part are found on the target machine, the part is transferred from a source machine to the target machine. A machine image is created based on parts.

Based on identifying that the new ID corresponds to a newly created VM, a new VM Group (VMG) object is created for the newly created VM corresponding to the new ID.

Abstract: A hypervisor generates first and second page views, where a guest physical address points to a first page of the first page view and a second page of the second page view. A first pointer value is written to the first page and a second pointer value is written to the second page. A guest operating system executes a first task and if a determination to switch to the second task is made, the guest operating system reads a current pointer value and determines what the current page view is. If the guest operating system determines that the current page view is the first page view, the guest operating system saves the first pointer value in a first memory of the first task, loads the second pointer value from a second memory of the second task, and executes a virtual machine function to switch to the second page view.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a virtualization layer capturing replayable execution traces of VMs managed by the virtualization layer. Execution tracing can be performed on any unit of execution managed by the virtualization layer, e.g., threads, processes, virtual processors, individual VMs, multiple VMs, etc. Traced execution units may be executing in parallel. Execution tracing involves capturing to a buffer: executed instructions, memory inputted to instructions, memory outputted by instructions, registers touched by instructions, and ordering markers. Trace data can be captured in chunks, where causality is preserved and ordering is preserved between chunks but not necessarily within chunks. The chunks may be delineated by inserting monotonically increasing markers between context switches, thus relatively ordering the chunks. Determinism may be partially provided by identifying non-deterministic events. VM tracing may be transparent to guest software, which need not be instrumented.

Abstract: In some examples, multiple requesters request use of a resource and a single request is granted. A priority scheme can be set such that among pairs of requests, the lower numbered request is advanced. After one or more rounds of arbitration, a determination is made as to which request to grant. In a case where higher priority requesters are to be identified, masks can be used to mask out requests from non-higher priority requesters in a subsequent round. A mask can be generated for any requester that is at or below the priority level of the requester that had its request granted. Accordingly, when a high priority arbiter is used to set another priority level, the mask(s) can be used to indicate the higher priority requests.

Abstract: A fault detection circuit generates a current parity bit for configuration data currently stored in a configuration register during each clock cycle, and compares the current parity bit with a previous parity bit generated during a previous clock cycle. An error signal is asserted when a mismatch is detected, indicating that the configuration register data erroneously changed due to a random hardware fault. Detection output circuitry is used to disable the error signal output driver using existing register input control signals, which prevents false error signals during intentional configuration data update operations. A parity input multiplexer, also controlled in response to the existing register input control signals, facilitates a parity update mode during intentional configuration data update operations, whereby updated parity values are generated for new/updated configuration data bytes before being written into the configuration registers.
