Volume 2, Part 1: Addressing and Protection
Page sizes are encoded in translation entries and region registers as a 6-bit encoded
page size field. Each field specifies a mapping size of 2
N
bytes, thus a value of 12
represents a 4K-byte page. If unimplemented page sizes are specified to an
itc
,
itr
or
mov
to region register instruction, a Reserved Register/Field fault is raised. If
unimplemented page sizes are specified for a TLB purge instruction an implementation
may raise a Machine Check abort, may under-purge translations up to ignoring the
request, or may over-purge translations up to removal of all entries from the translation
cache. If unimplemented page sizes are specified by a
ptc.g
or
ptc.ga
broadcast from
another processor, an implementation may under-purge translations up to ignoring the
request, or may over-purge translations up to removal of all entries from the translation
cache. However, it must not raise a Machine Check abort.
Virtual and physical pages are aligned on the natural boundary of the page. For
example, 4K-byte pages are aligned on 4K-byte boundaries, and 4 M-byte pages on 4
M-byte boundaries.
4.1.2
Region Registers (RR)
Associated with each of the 8 virtual regions is a privileged Region Register (RR). Each
register contains a Region Identifier (RID) along with several other region attributes,
see
. The values placed in the region register by the operating system can be
viewed as a collection of process address space identifiers.
Regions support multiple address space operating systems by avoiding the need to
flush the TLB on a context switch. Sharing between processes is promoted by mapping
common global or shared region identifiers into the region register working set of
multiple processes. All IA-32 memory references are through region register 0.
describes the region register fields. Region Identifier (rid) bits 0 through 17
must be implemented on all processor models. Some processor models may implement
additional bits. Additional implemented bits must be contiguous and start at bit 18.
Unimplemented bits are reserved. Please see the processor-specific documentation for
further information on the size of the Region Identifier implemented on the Itanium
processor.
