The Hook_VMM_Fault service installs a fault handler procedure for the VMM. Virtual devices typically install fault handlers while processing the Sys_Critical_Init control message to handle faults, such as general protection faults, that the VMM fault handlers cannot handle. The VMM installs its fault handlers after the Sys_Critical_Init control message. Virtual devices install fault handlers after Sys_Critical_Init to handle faults before the fault is passed to the VMM fault handlers.
Interrupt
Specifies the number of the interrupt for which install the fault handler. The interrupt number cannot be 02h, and must not be greater than 4Fh.
FaultProc
Points to the fault handler to install. For more information about the handler, see the following “Comments” section.
If the carry flag is clear, the ESI register contains the address of the previous fault handler. The register contains zero if there was no previous handler.
If the carry flag is set, the specified fault number is not valid and the handler is not installed.
A virtual device can install a fault handler while processing the Sys_Critical_Init message, or at a later time. When a fault occurs, fault handlers installed after the Sys_Critical_Init message receive control first, the VMM fault handlers receive control next, and fault handlers installed during the Sys_Critical_Init message receive control last.
The system disables interrupts and calls the fault handler as follows:
mov ebx, VM ; current VM handle
mov ebp, OFFSET32 stkfrm ; points to VMM re-entrant stack frame
call [FaultProc]
The VM parameter is a handle identifying the current virtual machine, and the stkfrm parameter points to the VMM re-entrant fault stack frame.
The fault handler may call asynchronous services only.
If the fault handler does not process the fault, it should pass the fault to the previous fault handler (if any), making sure that all registers are preserved (not just the registers containing input parameters).
If the fault handler processes the fault or if there is no previous fault handler, the handler should return without chaining by executing a near ret instruction (not an iret instruction).
The fault handler can modify the EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESI, and EDI registers.
Do not use this service to install a fault handler for the Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI). Instead, a virtual device must use the Get_NMI_Handler_Addr and Set_NMI_Handler_Addr services.
Do not use this service to install handlers for hardware interrupts. Instead, a virtual device must use virtual PIC device services.
