As I already commented on one of your previous patches, this is not allowed by the architecture. If FEAT_BBM is implemented (ARMv8.4 I think), the worst that can happen is a TLB conflict abort and the handler should invalidate the TLBs and restart the faulting instruction, assuming the handler won't try to access the same conflicting virtual address. Prior to FEAT_BBM, that's not possible as the architecture does not describe a precise behaviour of conflicting TLB entries (you might as well get the TLB output of multiple entries being or'ed together). -- Catalin
