TLBI RVAALE1, TLB Range Invalidate by VA, All ASID, Last level, EL1

The TLBI RVAALE1 characteristics are:

Purpose

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

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

Note

For the EL1&0 and EL2&0 translation regimes, the invalidation applies to both:

The range of addresses invalidated is UNPREDICTABLE when:

Configuration

This instruction is present only when ARMv8.4-TLBI is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to TLBI RVAALE1 are UNDEFINED.

Attributes

TLBI RVAALE1 is a 64-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

The TLBI RVAALE1 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 RVAALE1 instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:
