IIRC, we have already discussed this internally. Letting the VC handler do it was making it too complicated to add hooks inside the VmgExitLib, and corresponding updation of MdePkg and UefiCpuPkg (as described in the email thread below), and at that time Brijesh had suggested the use of this alternative VmgExit() approach. Email thread copied below : ... Well, I does not mean that you should literally use VMMCALL instruction instead you use its corresponding VMGEXIT number. Something like this: Status = VmgExit (Ghcb, SVM_EXIT_VMMCALL, 0, 0); This way, a #VC will not be kicked in and there is no need to hook anything inside the VmgExitLib. Maybe Tom can correct me if that is not acceptable. -Brijesh >> I am not able to follow your OVMF patches, could you provide a very high >> level overview of what exactly you are trying to achieve?

I need to use a HOB to store/cache hypercalls invoked during SEC and PEI phase and flush them later at DXE IPL phase. As VmgExitLib code is invoked in SEC and PEI phases and references MdePkg and UefiCpuPkg, i need to add HypercallLib references in UefiCpuPkg. Also, i need to verify if Hypercall library interfaces are being invoked during SEC and/or PEI phase, currently i do it by checking PcdOvmfSecGhcbBase and for accessing that i had to add reference to it in MdePkg/MdePkg.dec and UefiCpuPkg/UefiCpuPkg.dec, if i can check that the Hypercall library interfaces are being invoked in SEC/PEI phase using some other mechanism then i can drop this reference to PcdOvmfSecGhcbBase. ...
