Hi,

Try the "I'm feeling lucky" google-button for 'site:lwn.net "four
level page tables" ' ;)

> I need also informations about the reasons of the adding
> a new page table level in addresses translation.

as you might just as well read in lwn.net,
it seems like already-existing hardware (incl. dominant x86-64)
supports four-level page tables, so why limit our address spaces
to 512GB if 128T is possible ?

Sincerely,
Ohad.

> Thanks.
