Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for logging guest physical address for memory access faults. For example, a method for logging guest physical address includes receiving a first address translation request from a processor pipeline at a translation lookaside buffer for a first guest virtual address; identifying a hit with a fault condition corresponding to the first guest virtual address; responsive to the fault condition, invoking a single-stage page table walk with the first guest virtual address to obtain a first guest physical address; and storing the first guest physical address with the first guest virtual address in a data store, wherein the data store is separate from an entry in the translation lookaside buffer that includes a tag that includes the first guest virtual address and data that includes a physical address.
