Subject: PAGE_SIZE on 64bit and 32bit machines
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:39:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <473865BE.2070806@checkpoint.com> (raw)
According to my knowledge the PAGE_SIZE on 32bit architectures in 4KB.
Logically, the PAGE_SIZE on 64bit architectures should be 8KB. That's at
least the way I understand it. However, looking at the kernel code of
x86_64, I see the PAGE_SIZE is 4KB.
Can anyone explain to me what am I missing here?
Thanks
