I am having trouble understanding which (if any) system calls cause a VM Exit to VMX root-mode under Intel VMX. I am specifically interested in network-related system calls (i.e. socket, accept, send, recv) as they require a "virtual" device. I understand the hypervisor will have to be invoked to actually open a socket, but could this be done in parallel (assuming on a multi-core processor)?
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
