FERR Asserted Message

A FERR-asserted (legacy floating point support) message is delivered by the hypervisor after a virtual processor executes an instruction that generates an unmasked floating point error when CR0.NE is zero and the IGNNE# bit (in HvX64RegisterFpControlStatus) is zero.

The format of FERR-asserted messages is shown in the following table. The HV_X64_LEGACY_FP_ERROR_MESSAGE structure is used to encode FERR-asserted messages.

Message Header

0

MessageType (4 bytes)

Rsvd (3 bytes)

PayloadSize

(1 byte)

8

SourcePartition (8 bytes)

Legacy FP Payload

16

VpIndex (4 bytes)

The following list describes the fields of FERR-asserted messages:

VpIndex

The index of the virtual processor.
