The intent of this file is to give a brief summary of hugetlbpage support in
|
||||
the Linux kernel. This support is built on top of multiple page size support
|
||||
that is provided by most modern architectures. For example, i386
|
||||
architecture supports 4K and 4M (2M in PAE mode) page sizes, ia64
|
||||
that is provided by most modern architectures. For example, x86 CPUs normally
|
||||
support 4K and 2M (1G if architecturally supported) page sizes, ia64
|
||||
architecture supports multiple page sizes 4K, 8K, 64K, 256K, 1M, 4M, 16M,
|
||||
256M and ppc64 supports 4K and 16M. A TLB is a cache of virtual-to-physical
|
||||
translations. Typically this is a very scarce resource on processor.
