I found one header file for x86 that implement the TLB flushing -
include/asm-x86/tlbflush.h (the different implementation are used are
used because of the diff generation of x86:
static inline void __native_flush_tlb(void)
{
write_cr3(read_cr3());
}
(my questions: WHAT IS THE DIFF BETWEEN FLUSH VIA flush_tlb() above
vs flush_tlb_global() below?)
static inline void __native_flush_tlb_global(void)
{
unsigned long cr4 = read_cr4();
/* clear PGE */
write_cr4(cr4 & ~X86_CR4_PGE);
/* write old PGE again and flush TLBs */
write_cr4(cr4);
}
(question: what is this single - does it flush only ONE SINGLE ENTRY
IN THE TLB that map this particular addr value?)
static inline void __native_flush_tlb_single(unsigned long addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__("invlpg (%0)" ::"r" (addr) : "memory");
}
