Thread virtualization techniques

Abstract

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for virtualizing threads. An operating system thread is virtualized by intercepting accesses of the operating system thread state and emulating a normal operating system behavior. A kernel mode thread state is virtualized by intercepting kernel accesses of the kernel mode thread state and emulating a normal kernel mode behavior. A user mode thread state is virtualized by intercepting user mode accesses of the user mode thread state and emulating a normal user mode behavior. If the access is a write access, then the write access is applied to a virtual thread structure. If the access is a read access, then the read access is applied to the virtual thread structure.
