TLB Conflict abort

Thanks!

I could create an address matches 2 entries as your suggestion but the TLB Conflict abort was not generated with ARM model.

1. First memory access: Address cached in the TLB (4KB)

clk TLB FILL cpu0.UTLB 4K 0x8180000000_NS EL2_n, nG asid=0:0x8180000000_NS

2. Second memory access: Address cached in the TLB (2MB)

clk TLB FILL cpu0.UTLB 2M 0x8180000000_NS EL2_n, nG asid=0:0x8180000000_NS

3. Final memory access: Expect TLB conflict abort but not happened.

It seems TLB not only cached the address but also the size etc, combining all conditions it's hard to create TLB conflict.

Which model are using?  If it's the AEM FVP, you need to enable TLB conflict reporting:

-C cluster0.has_tlb_conflict_abort=1
-C cluster1.has_tlb_conflict_abort=1

Or, for the single cluster systems:

-C cluster.has_tlb_conflict_abort=1
