TLBI RVAE2, TLBI RVAE2NXS, TLB Range Invalidate by VA, EL2

The TLBI RVAE2, TLBI RVAE2NXS characteristics are:

Purpose

When EL2 is implemented and enabled in the current Security state, invalidates cached copies of translation table entries from TLBs that meet all the following requirements:

The Security state is indicated by the value of SCR_EL3.NS if FEAT_RME is not implemented, or SCR_EL3.{NSE, NS} if FEAT_RME is implemented.

The invalidation applies to the PE that executes this System instruction.

For 64-bit translation table entry, the range of addresses invalidated is UNPREDICTABLE when:

If FEAT_XS is implemented, the nXS variant of this System instruction is defined.

Both variants perform the same invalidation, but the TLBI System instruction without the nXS qualifier waits for all memory accesses using in-scope old translation information to complete before it is considered complete.

The TLBI System instruction with the nXS qualifier is considered complete when the subset of these memory accesses with XS attribute set to 0 are complete.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when FEAT_TLBIRANGE is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TLBI RVAE2, TLBI RVAE2NXS are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TLBI RVAE2, TLBI RVAE2NXS is a 64-bit System instruction.

BaseADDR

ASID, bits [63:48]
When the Effective value of HCR_EL2.E2H is 1:

ASID value to match. Any TLB entries that match the ASID value and VA value will be affected by this System instruction.

Global TLB entries that match the VA value will be affected by this System instruction, regardless of the value of the ASID field.

If the implementation supports 16 bits of ASID, then the upper 8 bits of the ASID must be written to 0 by software when the context being invalidated only uses 8 bits.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

TG, bits [47:46]

Translation granule size.

TGMeaning
0b00

Reserved.

0b01

4K translation granule.

0b10

16K translation granule.

0b11

64K translation granule.

The instruction takes a translation granule size for the translations that are being invalidated. If the translations used a different translation granule size than the one being specified, then the architecture does not require that the instruction invalidates any entries.

SCALE, bits [45:44]

The exponent element of the calculation that is used to produce the upper range.

NUM, bits [43:39]

The base element of the calculation that is used to produce the upper range.

TTL, bits [38:37]

TTL Level hint. The TTL hint is only guaranteed to invalidate:

TTLMeaning
0b00

The entries in the range can be using any level for the translation table entries.

0b01

The TTL hint indicates level 1.

If FEAT_LPA2 is not implemented, when using a 16KB translation granule, this value is reserved and hardware should treat this field as 0b00.

0b10

The TTL hint indicates level 2.

0b11

The TTL hint indicates level 3.

BaseADDR, bits [36:0]
When (FEAT_LPA2 is implemented and TCR_EL2.DS == 1) or (FEAT_D128 is implemented and TCR2_EL2.D128 == 1):

The starting address for the range of the maintenance instructions. This field is BaseADDR[52:16] for all translation granules.

When using a 4KB translation granule, BaseADDR[15:12] is treated as 0b0000.

When using a 16KB translation granule, BaseADDR[15:14] is treated as 0b00.


Otherwise:

The starting address for the range of the maintenance instruction.

When using a 4KB translation granule, this field is BaseADDR[48:12].

When using a 16KB translation granule, this field is BaseADDR[50:14].

When using a 64KB translation granule, this field is BaseADDR[52:16].
