Memory Monitor Emulation For Virtual Machines

According to one example, a method includes with a hypervisor, detecting that a guest has executed a memory monitor command for a virtual processor, making a copy of a memory address associated with the memory monitor command, the copy being placed in hypervisor memory, and with the hypervisor, in response to detecting that the guest system has executed a wait command, executing a loop until the copy is different than the data stored in the memory address.
