XTENSA_MMU_MAP_SHARED

#define XTENSA_MMU_MAP_SHARED   BIT(30)

Software only bit to indicate a memory region is shared by all threads.

This BIT tells the mapping code whether the memory region should be shared between all threads. That is not used in the HW, it is just for the implementation.

The PTE mapping this memory will use an ASID that is set in the ring 4 spot in RASID.

Typedef Documentation

k_mem_partition_attr_t

typedef uint32_t k_mem_partition_attr_t

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Function Documentation

xtensa_mmu_init()

void xtensa_mmu_init

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Initialize hardware MMU.

This initializes the MMU hardware and setup the memory regions at boot.

xtensa_mmu_reinit()

void xtensa_mmu_reinit

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Re-initialize hardware MMU.

This configures the MMU hardware when the cpu lost context and has re-started.

It assumes that the page table is already created and accessible in memory.

xtensa_mmu_tlb_ipi()

void xtensa_mmu_tlb_ipi

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Tell other processors to flush TLBs.

This sends IPI to other processors to telling them to invalidate cache to page tables and flush TLBs. This is needed when one processor is updating page tables that may affect threads running on other processors.

Note

This needs to be implemented in the SoC layer.

xtensa_mmu_tlb_shootdown()

void xtensa_mmu_tlb_shootdown

(

void

)

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Invalidate cache to page tables and flush TLBs.

This invalidates cache to all page tables and flush TLBs as they may have been modified by other processors.

Variable Documentation

xtensa_soc_mmu_ranges

const struct xtensa_mmu_range xtensa_soc_mmu_ranges[]

extern

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Additional memory regions required by SoC.

These memory regions will be setup by MMU initialization code at boot.

xtensa_soc_mmu_ranges_num

int xtensa_soc_mmu_ranges_num

extern

#include <zephyr/arch/xtensa/xtensa_mmu.h>

Number of SoC additional memory regions.
