Volume 2, Part 1: Addressing and Protection
• Protection Key – specified by the accessed region identifier value
(RR[VA{63:61}].rid). As a result, all implementations must ensure that the number
of implemented key bits is greater than or equal to the number of implemented
region identifier bits.
If a translation is marked as not present, ignored fields are usable by software as noted
in
.
4.1.5.4
VHPT Long Format
The long-format VHPT uses 32-byte VHPT entries to support a single large virtual hash
page table. To use the long-format VHPT, PTA.vf must be set to 1. The long format is a
superset of the TLB insertion format, as noted in
, and specifies full
translation information (including protection keys and page sizes). Additional fields are
defined in
. The long format is typically used to build the hash page table
configuration.
If a translation is marked as not present, ignored fields are usable by software as noted
in
. Also, in some implementations, +8{63:32} and +8{31:8} may be
ignored as well.

Description
tag
+16
Translation Tag – The tag, in conjunction with the VHPT hash index, is used to
uniquely identify the translation. Tags are computed by hashing the virtual page
number and the region identifier. See
for details on tag
and hash index generation.
ti
+16
Tag Invalid Bit – If one, this bit of the tag indicates an invalid tag. On all processor
implementations, the VHPT walker and the
ttag
instruction generate tags with the ti
bit equal to 0. A VHPT entry with the ti bit equal to one will never be inserted into the
processor’s TLBs. Software can use the ti bit to invalidate long-format VHPT entries in
memory.
ig
+24
available – field for software use, ignored by the processor. Operating systems may
store any value, such as a link address to extend collision chains on a hash collision.
