[edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 2/2] ArmPkg/ArmMmuLib AARCH64: invalidate page tables before populating them

[Ard Biesheuvel]

As it turns out, ARMv8 also permits accesses made with the MMU and
caches off to hit in the caches, so to ensure that any modifications
we make before enabling the MMU are visible afterwards as well, we
should invalidate page tables right after allocation like we do now on
ARM, if the MMU is still disabled at that point.
