Hi all, I am trying to perform single-stepping and instruction emulation both in Xen-3.2.1. I am using the following approach: First, I mark a guest page "not present" inside the shadow page table so that I could intercept any operation that involves this page. When the guest tries to access that page, it faults and control goes to Xen (sh_page_fault function). There, I emulate that
