The TLBIALL op in gem5 was designed after the AArch32 TLBIALL instruction.
and was reused by the TLBI ALLEL1, ALLE2, ALLE3 logic.
This is not correct for the following reasons:
- TLBI ALLEx invalidates regardless of the VMID
- TLBI ALLEx (AArch64) is "target regime" oriented, whereas TLBIALL
(AArch32) is "current regime" oriented
TLBIALL has a different behaviour depending on the current exception
level: if issued at EL1 it will invalidate stage1 translations only; if
at EL2, it will invalidate stage2 translations as well.
TLBI ALLEx is more standard; every TLBI ALLE1 will invalidate stage1 and
stage2 translations. This is because the instruction is not executable
from the guest (EL1)
So for TLBIALL the condition for stage2 forwarding will be:
if (!isStage2 && isHyp) {
Whereas for TLBI ALLEx will be:
if (!isStage2 && target_el == EL1) {

This is the gem5 simulator. The main website can be found at http://www.gem5.org A good starting point is http://www.gem5.org/about, and for more information about building the simulator and getting started please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation and http://www.gem5.org/documentation/learning_gem5/introduction. To build gem5, you will need the following software: g++ or clang, Python (gem5 links in the Python interpreter), SCons, SWIG, zlib, m4, and lastly protobuf if you want trace capture and playback support. Please see http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details concerning the minimum versions of the aforementioned tools. Once you have all dependencies resolved, type 'scons build/<ARCH>/gem5.opt' where ARCH is one of ARM, NULL, MIPS, POWER, SPARC, or X86. This will build an optimized version of the gem5 binary (gem5.opt) for the the specified architecture. See http://www.gem5.org/documentation/general_docs/building for more details and options. The basic source release includes these subdirectories: - configs: example simulation configuration scripts - ext: less-common external packages needed to build gem5 - src: source code of the gem5 simulator - system: source for some optional system software for simulated systems - tests: regression tests - util: useful utility programs and files To run full-system simulations, you will need compiled system firmware (console and PALcode for Alpha), kernel binaries and one or more disk images. If you have questions, please send mail to gem5-users@gem5.org Enjoy using gem5 and please share your modifications and extensions.
