Abstract:
A memory management unit (MMU) is disclosed. The MMU is configured to receive a translation request from a processing system, wherein the translation request specifies a virtual address to be translated, search a page table stored in a physical memory system for a page table entry that specifies the virtual address, receive a translation lookaside buffer invalidation (TLBI) signal from the processing system, wherein the TLBI signal specifies the virtual address, in response to receiving the TLBI signal specifying the virtual address, invalidate a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) entry in a TLB, wherein the invalidated TLB entry specifies the virtual address and restart the search of the page table for the page table entry that specifies the virtual address.
