Create a trace event for guest mode changes, and enable VZ's GuestCtl0.MC bit after the trace event is enabled to trap all guest mode changes. The MC bit causes Guest Hardware Field Change (GHFC) exceptions whenever a guest mode change occurs (such as an exception entry or return from exception), so we need to handle this exception now. The MC bit is only enabled when restoring register state, so enabling the trace event won't take immediate effect. Tracing guest mode changes can be particularly handy when trying to work out what a guest OS gets up to before something goes wrong, especially if the problem occurs as a result of some previous guest userland exception which would otherwise be invisible in the trace.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
