Title: Translation lookaside buffer invalidation
Inventor: ANDREW BROOKFIELD SWAINE
IPC: G06F12/109
Filed: 2019-09-10
Abstract: A type of translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation instruction is described which specifically targets a first type of TLB which stores combined stage-1-and-2 entries which depend on both stage 1 translation data and the stage 2 translation data, and which is configured to ignore a TLB invalidation command which invalidates based on a first set of one or more invalidation conditions including an address-based invalidation condition depending on matching of intermediate address. A second type of TLB other than the first type ignores the invalidation command triggered by the first type of TLB invalidation instruction. This approach helps to limit the performance impact of stage 2 invalidations in systems supporting a combined stage-1-and-2 TLB which cannot invalidate by intermediate address.
