Ok we use base page size to determine whether we can use tlbiel or not.
static inline void tlbie(unsigned long vpn, int psize, int apsize,
int ssize, int local)
{
....
if (use_local)
use_local = mmu_psize_defs[psize].tlbiel;
With that we should be ok, because we are using 4k and 64k base page
size and we have
/*
* We don't know for sure what's up with tlbiel, so
* for now we only set it for 4K and 64K pages
*/
if (base_idx == MMU_PAGE_4K || base_idx == MMU_PAGE_64K)
def->tlbiel = 1;
else
def->tlbiel = 0;
