[PATCH] arm64: Add support for VMID aware PIPT instruction cache cache

Wed Feb 8 04:43:27 PST 2017


In ARMv8.2 extension, a new instruction cache type 'VMID aware
PIPT' was introduced in addition to AIVIVT/VIPT/PIPT. Instruction
cache maintenance operations when issued from Non-secure EL1/EL0
have an effect only on cache line entries those were fetched in
Non-secure EL1/EL0 using the current VMID. For software point of
view, this cache type is same as PIPT and no aliasing problem.

The updated CTR_EL0.L1IP definition.
   00: VMID aware PIPT
   01: ASID-tagged Virtual Index, Virtual Tag (AIVIVT)
   10: Virtual Index, Physical Tag (VIPT)
   11: Physical Index, Physical Tag (PIPT)
