TLBI VALE1IS, TLB Invalidate by VA, Last level, EL1, Inner Shareable

The TLBI VALE1IS characteristics are:

Purpose

Invalidates cached copies of translation table entries from TLBs that meet all the following requirements:

The invalidation applies to all PEs in the same Inner Shareable shareability domain as the PE that executes this System instruction.

Note

From Armv8.4, when a TLB maintenance instruction is generated to the Secure EL1&0 translation regime and is defined to pass a VMID argument, or would be defined to pass a VMID argument if SCR_EL3.EEL2==1, then:

Attributes

TLBI VALE1IS is a 64-bit System instruction.

ASID, bits [63:48]

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, but only 8 bits are being used in the context being invalidated, the upper bits are RES0.

TTL, bits [47:44]

When ARMv8.4-TTL is implemented:

Translation Table Level. Indicates the level of the page table walk that holds the leaf entry for the address being invalidated.

TTLMeaning
0b00xx

No information supplied as to the translation table level. Hardware must assume that the entry can be from any level. In this case, TTL<1:0> is RES0.

0b01xx

The entry comes from a 4KB translation granule. The level of walk for the leaf level 0bxx is encoded as:

0b00 : Reserved. Treat as if TTL<3:2> is 0b00.

0b01 : Level 1.

0b10 : Level 2.

0b11 : Level 3.

0b10xx

The entry comes from a 16KB translation granule. The level of walk for the leaf level 0bxx is encoded as:

0b00 : Reserved. Treat as if TTL<3:2> is 0b00.

0b01 : Reserved. Treat as if TTL<3:2> is 0b00.

0b10 : Level 2.

0b11 : Level 3.

0b11xx

The entry comes from a 64KB translation granule. The level of walk for the leaf level 0bxx is encoded as:

0b00 : Reserved. Treat as if TTL<3:2> is 0b00.

0b01 : Level 1.

0b10 : Level 2.

0b11 : Level 3.

If an incorrect value of the TTL field is specified for the entry being invalidated by the instruction, then no entries are required by the architecture to be invalidated from the TLB.


Otherwise:

Reserved, RES0.

VA[55:12], bits [43:0]

Bits[55:12] of the virtual address to match. Any appropriate TLB entries that match the ASID value (if appropriate) and VA will be affected by this System instruction.

If the TLB maintenance instructions are targeting a translation regime that is using AArch32, and so has a VA of only 32 bits, then the software must treat bits[55:32] as RES0.

The treatment of the low-order bits of this field depends on the translation granule size, as follows:

Executing the TLBI VALE1IS instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

TLBI VALE1IS{, <Xt>}

op0op1CRnCRmop2
0b010b0000b10000b00110b101

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then if EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.TTLB == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); elsif EL2Enabled() && !ELUsingAArch32(EL2) && HCR_EL2.TTLBIS == '1' then AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18); else TLBI_VALE1IS(X[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then TLBI_VALE1IS(X[t]); elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then TLBI_VALE1IS(X[t]);
