The function flush_tlb is called to invalidate the TLBs for the current domain when the stage-2 page tables are modified. On ARMv8, the instruction "tlbi vmalle1is" (resp. "tlbi vmalle1") will invalidate stage 1 entries associated to the current VMID (see D4-1811 in ARM DDI 0487A.j). Given that an implementation is allowed to cache separately stage 1 and stage 2 translation (see D4.7.1), the instructions will not remove stage 2 entries when the translation is not combined in a single entry. This will result the TLBs to hold invalid entries and possibly multiple entries using the same VA. Use "tlbi vmall12e1is" (resp. "tlbi vmall12e1"), to flush both stage 1 and stage 2 entries when the domain p2m is changed. Also modify flush_tlb_local to invalidate stage 1 and 2 for the local TLBs. Note that this function is used in the instruction abort path before translating a GVA to a IPA. As far as I understand is to avoid a guest poisoning the DTLB when memacces is in use. We might be able to only invalidate stage 1 entries. However, I choose the safest way for now (i.e invalidating stage 1 and 2 entries). We would need to introduce a new set of helpers when we will want to restrict it. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com> -- This would need to be backported on any version of Xen currently supported (IIRC think up to Xen 4.5). Without this patch, stage 2 TLBs won't be flushed if the TLBs cache intermediate translations entries (IPA -> PA). --- xen/include/asm-arm/arm64/flushtlb.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
