I enabled MMU on my s3c2440 board (3G - 4G memory :: the fault attribute),everything was just fine when I didn't read/write 3G - 4G memory .So to test the page fault vector ,I wrote to a 0xFF to the 3G address,as I expected ,I got the right value from FSR ,So I did this in _do_page_fault (), the step was like this :
..... // set new page to translation table
.....
invlidate_icache (); // clear icache
clr_dcache (); // wb is used ,clear dcache
invalidate_ttb (); // invalidate translation table
and then ISR_dataabort returned ,I read the 3G address to get the 0xFF which I wote before . Unfortunately I got a data abort again .(I am sure the translation table value I set is ok)
So what is the correct way to update the MMU translation table .Any help is appreciate ! thanks
here is the Main code I used (just for some test), (I am a littlte strange to ARM ARCH,so this code might be urgly )

Note: I assume TTB_BASE is the primary ARM L1 page table. If it is some shadow, you need to show more code as per unixsmurf. Here is my best guess...
Your The page_dir is functioning as both the primary L1 entries and as the L2 fine page table.TTB_BASE should only contain sections, super sections or pointers to sub-page tables. You need to allocate more physical memory for the L2 page tables.
I guess your Your page_dir[i+0], page_dir[i+1], etc are overwriting other L1 section entries and invalidate_tlb() make this concrete to the CPU. You should be using the L2 page_tbl pointer to set/index the small/fine pages. Perhaps your kernel code is in the 3G-4G space and your are over-writing some critical L1 mappings there; any number of strange things could happen. The current use of page_tbl is unclear.
You can not double use the primary L1 tables as they have meaning to hardware. I guess that this is just a mistake?
There are only three types of entries in the primary L1 page tables,
- Sections - a 1MB memory mapping straight virt to phys, with no 2nd page table.
- Super-sections - a 4MB memory mapping as per sections, but minimizing TLB pressure.
- A 2nd page table. Entries can be 1k,4k,and 64k. Fine page tables are 4k in table size and are not in modern ARM designs. Each entry is 1k of address in a fine page table.
The primary page table must be on a physical address that is 16k aligned, which is also it's size. 16k/(4bytes/entry)*1MB gives a 4GB address range of the L1 tables. So each entry in the primary L1 page table always refers to a 1MB entry. Coarse page tables are the only option on newer ARMs and they refer to a 1K L2 table.
1K_L2_size * 4K_entry / (4bytes_per_entry) gives 1MB address space.
1K_L2_size * 64K_entry / (16bytes_per_entry) gives 1MB address space.
There are four entries of 1MB each in the primary L1 for a super-section. There are four entries each for a 64k large page in the L2 table. If you are using super-sections, you do not have L2 entries.
I think you may have Super-sections and large pages mixed up? For certain having improperly formatted page tables will only manifest on a TLB invalidate, so that MMU mappings are re-fetched from the tables via a walk.
Finally, you should flush the D cache and drain the write buffer to ensure consistency with memory. You may wish to have a memory barrier as well.
static inline void dcache_clean(void)
{
const int zero = 0;
asm volatile ("" ::: "memory"); /* barrier */
/* clean entire D cache -> push to external memory. */
asm volatile ("1: mrc p15, 0, r15, c7, c10, 3\n"
" bne 1b\n" ::: "cc");
/* drain the write buffer */
asm volatile ("mcr 15, 0, %0, c7, c10, 4"::"r" (zero));
}
There are also co-processor commands to invalidate single TLB entries as you are only changing a portion of the vaddr/paddr mappings in the data fault.
