The Svinval extension splits SFENCE.VMA instruction into finer-grained invalidation and ordering operations and is mandatory for RVA23S64 profile. When Svinval is enabled the local_flush_tlb_range_threshold_asid function should use the following sequence to optimize the tlb flushes instead of a simple sfence.vma: sfence.w.inval svinval.vma . . svinval.vma sfence.inval.ir The maximum number of consecutive svinval.vma instructions that can be executed in local_flush_tlb_range_threshold_asid function is limited to 64. This is required to avoid soft lockups and the approach is similar to that used in arm64.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
