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 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:
-
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 entry is within the address range determined by the formula [BaseADDR <= VA < BaseADDR + ((NUM +1)*2^(5*SCALE +1) * Translation_Granule_Size)].
The invalidation applies to the PE that executes this System instruction.
For the EL1&0 and EL2&0 translation regimes, the invalidation applies to both:
- Global entries.
- Non-global entries with any ASID.
The range of addresses invalidated is UNPREDICTABLE when:
-
For the 4K translation granule:
-
If TTL==01 and BaseADDR[29:12] is not equal to 000000000000000000.
-
If TTL==10 and BaseADDR[20:12] is not equal to 000000000.
-
-
For the 16K translation granule:
- If TTL==10 and BaseADDR[24:14] is not equal to 00000000000.
-
For the 64K translation granule:
-
If TTL==01 and BaseADDR[41:16] is not equal to 00000000000000000000000000.
-
If TTL==10 and BaseADDR[28:16] is not equal to 0000000000000.
-
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:
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.
TG, bits [47:46]
Translation granule size.
TG | Meaning |
---|---|
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.
TTL | Meaning |
---|---|
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].
