tlbi va, vaa vs. val, vaal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I noticed kernel tlbflush.h use tlbi va*, vaa* variants instead of
val, vaal ones. Reading the manual D.5.7.2 it appears that
va*, vaa* versions invalidate intermediate caching of
translation structures.

With stage2 enabled that may result in 20+ memory lookups
for a 4 level page table walk. That's assuming that intermediate
caching structures cache mappings from stage1 table entry to
host page.
