In order to reduce the cost of TLB invalidation, ARMv8.4 provides the TTL field in TLBI instruction. The TTL field indicates the level of page table walk holding the leaf entry for the address being invalidated. This series provide support for this feature. When ARMv8.4-TTL is implemented, the operand for TLBIs looks like below: * +----------+-------+----------------------+ * | ASID | TTL | BADDR | * +----------+-------+----------------------+ * |63 48|47 44|43 0| See patches for details, Thanks. -- ChangeList: v5: rebase the series on Linux 5.8-rc2. v4: implement flush_*_tlb_range only on arm64. v3: minor changes: reduce the indentation levels of __tlbi_level(). v2: rebase series on Linux 5.7-rc1 and simplify the code implementation. v1: add support for TTL feature in arm64.
