Don’t use recursive page tables. - What if you want to port to an architecture that can’t do them? - How sure are you that all the bonus bits in the entries line up right? - What if you want to use huge pages of various sizes? - What if you want to write-protect some page tables? - What if you want to access a non-current page table? If you do that you need to write all the relevant logic anyway. - What if a page table isn’t allocated? You probably don’t want to find out by trying to access it and getting a page fault in kernel mode. - What if you don’t want user code to be able to trivially guess kernel addresses? |
