For managing a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), an example computing device is deployed with virtual machines (VMs) by using a virtual machine monitor and has multiple CPU cores, where the VMs include a common VM running a common execution environment and a secure VM running a trusted execution environment (TEE) instance. In an example, in response to a target request for modifying a secure memory, the common execution environment sends an inter-processor interrupt (IPI) to one or more CPU cores that run the secure VM. Control data corresponding to the secure VM include a TLB control field set to a target value that indicates that all TLBs of the VM are flushed when exiting from the secure VM. In response to the IPI, the one or more CPU cores exit from a secure mode, and flushes all TLBs of the VM based on the target value.
