Remarks

The context structures for several exit reasons share common definitions for the data that provides information about the processor instruction that caused the exit and the state of the virtual processor at the time of the exit. 

Requirements

Minimum supported build: Insider Preview Builds (19H2) Experimental: WHvRunVpExitReasonX64Rdtsc
