Machine interpretation for a virtualized guest configuration

A computer system comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• a set of one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions, collectively stored in the set of one or more computer-readable storage media, for causing the at least one computing device to perform computer operations including:
• performing interpretative execution by a physical processor of a computing environment for a virtual processor executing on the physical processor, the performing interpretative execution including:
• obtaining an order code indicating an action to be taken for the virtual processor;
• accessing a shadow state description of the virtual processor to obtain an original state description origin, the original state description origin indicating a location of an original state description of the virtual processor, the original state description including state information of the virtual processor;
• and
• performing an action using an indicator of the state information of the virtual processor, the indicator selected based on the order code, and wherein the action is performed by the physical processor on behalf of the virtual processor.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• performing interpretative execution by a physical processor of a computing environment for a virtual processor executing on the physical processor, the performing interpretative execution including:
• obtaining an order code indicating an action to be taken for the virtual processor;
• accessing a shadow state description of the virtual processor to obtain an original state description origin, the original state description origin indicating a location of an original state description of the virtual processor, the original state description including state information of the virtual processor;
• and
• performing an action using an indicator of the state information of the virtual processor, the indicator selected based on the order code, and wherein the action is performed by the physical processor on behalf of the virtual processor.

A computer program product comprising:

• a set of one or more computer-readable storage media;
• and
• program instructions, collectively stored in the set of one or more computer-readable storage media, for causing at least one computing device to perform computer operations including:
• performing interpretative execution by a physical processor of a computing environment for a virtual processor executing on the physical processor, the performing interpretative execution including:
• accessing a shadow control structure of the virtual processor to obtain addressability to an original control structure of the virtual processor, the original control structure including state information of the virtual processor;
• and
• performing an action using the state information of the virtual processor, wherein the action is performed by the physical processor on behalf of the virtual processor.
