TLBI VAALE1, TLB Invalidate by VA, All ASID, Last level, EL1

The TLBI VAALE1 characteristics are:

Purpose

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

The entry is a stage 1 translation table entry, from the final level of the translation table walk.
When EL2 is implemented and enabled in the Security state described by the current value of SCR_EL3.NS:
- If HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is not {1, 1}, the entry would be used with the current VMID and would be required to translate the specified VA using the EL1&0 translation regime.
- If HCR_EL2.{E2H, TGE} is {1, 1}, the entry would be required to translate the specified VA using the EL2&0 translation regime.
When EL2 is not implemented or is disabled in the current Security state, the entry would be required to translate the specified VA using the EL1&0 translation regime.

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 global entries, and non-global entries with any ASID.

Configuration

There are no configuration notes.

Attributes

TLBI VAALE1 is a 64-bit System instruction.

Field descriptions

The TLBI VAALE1 input value bit assignments are:

63	62	61	60	59	58	57	56	55	54	53	52	51	50	49	48	47	46	45	44	43	42	41	40	39	38	37	36	35	34	33	32

Bits [63:48]

Reserved, RES0.

TTL, bits [47:44]

When FEAT_TTL is implemented:

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

TTL	Meaning
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 VA will be affected by this System instruction, regardless of the ASID.

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:

Where a 4KB translation granule is being used, all bits are valid and used for the invalidation.
Where a 16KB translation granule is being used, bits [1:0] of this field are RES0 and ignored when the instruction is executed, because VA[13:12] have no effect on the operation of the instruction.
Where a 64KB translation granule is being used, bits [3:0] of this field are RES0 and ignored when the instruction is executed, because VA[15:12] have no effect on the operation of the instruction.

Executing the TLBI VAALE1 instruction

Accesses to this instruction use the following encodings:

TLBI VAALE1{, <Xt>}

op0	op1	CRn	CRm	op2
0b01	0b000	0b1000	0b0111	0b111

if PSTATE.EL == EL0 then
    UNDEFINED;
elsif PSTATE.EL == EL1 then
    if EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.TTLB == '1' then
        AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18);
    elsif EL2Enabled() && (!HaveEL(EL3) || SCR_EL3.FGTEn == '1') && HFGITR_EL2.TLBIVAALE1 == '1' then
        AArch64.SystemAccessTrap(EL2, 0x18);
    elsif EL2Enabled() && HCR_EL2.FB == '1' then
        TLBI_VAALE1IS(X[t]);
    else
        TLBI_VAALE1(X[t]);
elsif PSTATE.EL == EL2 then
    TLBI_VAALE1(X[t]);
elsif PSTATE.EL == EL3 then
    TLBI_VAALE1(X[t]);
