TLB Synchronize
tlbsync
Provides an ordering function for the effects of all tlbie instructions executed by the thread executing the tlbsync instruction.
Details
Provides a memory ordering function that ensures all tlbie instructions executed by the thread before this instruction have completed before any instruction after tlbsync begins execution. This is a privileged instruction used to synchronize TLB invalidation operations. No condition registers or status fields are affected; this is purely an ordering barrier for memory management operations.
