Bluepill is an Intel type-2 research hypervisor written with no access to github.com. This project is purely for educational purposes and is designed to run on Windows 10 systems. This project uses WDK and thus Windows Kernel functions to facilitate vmxlaunch.

VMCS

Dump of VMCS control fields can be found here. This is not required, but for learning its nice to see exactly what the MSR masks are, and what VMCS field's there are. When I first configured the VMCS control field(s), I was setting whatever bits I thought I needed high after applying VMX reserved bit masks. This was causing vmxerror #7 (control field misconfiguration). Also I found out my xeons dont support xsave, nor do they support processor tracing.
