When we use qemu tcg simulation, the page size of bios is 4KB.
When using the level 2 super large page (page size is 1G) to create
the page table,
it is found that the content of the corresponding address space is
abnormal,
resulting in the bios can not start the operating system and
graphical interface normally.
The lddir and ldpte instruction emulation has
a problem with the use of super large page processing above level 2.
The page size is not correctly calculated,
resulting in the wrong page size of the table entry found by tlb.

This magical cpu state does not appear in the manual.
The hardware instruction manual is hosted on github at
https://github.com/loongson/LoongArch-Documentation
Are you sure that large pages above level 2 are really supported by
LDDIR?
Yes,We have done tests on the physical cpu of loongarch64 and
it works fine with a level 2 large page on the physical cpu.
Some explanation from the hardware engineering side is required.
The description of lddir hardware manual is as follows:
Instruction formats:
|lddir rd, rj, level|
The|LDDIR|instruction is used for accessing directory entries during
software page table walking.
If bit|[6]|of the general register|rj|is|0|, it means that the
content of|rj|is the physical address of the
base address of the level page table at this time. In this case,
the|LDDIR|instruction will access the level
page table according to the current TLB refill address, retrieve the
base address of the corresponding
|level+1|page table, and write it to the general register|rd|.

4.2.5.1.|LDDIR|
Yes, I have this manual. Please highlight the portion of this
description that corresponds to the LDDIR_PS variable that you add.
Sorry, I don't think I quite understand what you mean.
Do you mean that you want me to point out the detailed description of
LDDIR_PS in the manual
or suggest that I add a corresponding comment to the LDDIR_PS variable
in the patch?
I think the description I quoted is missing a key part:
If bit|[6]|of general register|rj|is|1|, it means that the content
in|rj|is a large page (Huge Page) page table entry. In this case, after
executing the|LDDRI|instruction, the value in the general
register|rj|will be written directly to the general register|rd|.
The LDDIR_PS variable is not described in detail in the manual, but is
only an intermediate variable to assist in page size calculation during
tcg simulation.
However, in section 5.4.2 TLB, we learned that TLB is divided into STLB
and MTLB.
The PS field in MTLB has the same meaning as the variable LDDIR_PS we
defined.
Since TLB is divided into parity entries, Therefore, when the TLB is
generated,
the size of each parity entry becomes half, that is, LDDIR_PS-1.
It should be noted here that all large-page tlb entries will be placed
in the MTLB, because the PS field is only meaningful in the MTLB.
Thanks,
Xianglai.
