Abstract
Described systems and methods enable an efficient detection and analysis of software events, especially in hardware virtualization configurations. In some embodiments, certain types of events are analyzed asynchronously, in the sense that the triggering entity is allowed to continue execution while the respective event is added to a queue for later processing. Some embodiments modify the instruction set architecture of the processor by adding a processor instruction dedicated to delivering event notifications. Such notification instructions allow for complex and flexible event detection without some of the disadvantages of conventional methods such as hooking.
