TLBI RVALE3, TLB Range Invalidate by VA, Last level, EL3

The TLBI RVALE3 characteristics are:

Purpose

If EL3 is implemented, invalidates cached copies of translation table entries from TLBs that meet all the following requirements:

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

The range of addresses invalidated is UNPREDICTABLE when:

For more information about the architectural requirements for this instruction see 'Invalidation of TLB entries from stage 2 translations' in the Arm® Architecture Reference Manual, Armv8, for Armv8-A architecture profile.

Configuration

This instruction is present only when ARMv8.4-TLBI is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TLBI RVALE3 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TLBI RVALE3 is a 64-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

The TLBI RVALE3 input value bit assignments are:

Bits [63:48]

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 entries in the range that match the level described by the TTL hint.

TTLMeaning
0b00

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

0b01

When using a 4KB or 64KB translation granule, all entries to invalidate are Level 1 translation table entries.

When using a 16KB translation granule, this value is reserved and hardware should treat this field as 0b00.

0b10

All entries to invalidate are Level 2 translation table entries.

0b11

All entries to invalidate are Level 3 translation table entries.

BaseADDR, bits [36:0]

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].

Executing the TLBI RVALE3 instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

TLBI RVALE3{, <Xt>}

op0op1CRnCRmop2
op0CRnop1op2CRm
0b010b1100b10000b01100b101

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then UNDEFINED; elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then TLBI_RVALE3(X[t]);
