   48  * i386 MMU hardware structure:
   49  *
   50  * the i386 MMU is a two-level MMU which maps 4GB of virtual memory.
   51  * the pagesize is 4K (4096 [0x1000] bytes), although newer pentium
   52  * processors can support a 4MB pagesize as well.
   53  *
   54  * the first level table (segment table?) is called a "page directory"
   55  * and it contains 1024 page directory entries (PDEs).   each PDE is
   56  * 4 bytes (an int), so a PD fits in a single 4K page.   this page is
   57  * the page directory page (PDP).  each PDE in a PDP maps 4MB of space
   58  * (1024 * 4MB = 4GB).   a PDE contains the physical address of the
   59  * second level table: the page table.   or, if 4MB pages are being used,
   60  * then the PDE contains the PA of the 4MB page being mapped.
   61  *
   62  * a page table consists of 1024 page table entries (PTEs).  each PTE is
   63  * 4 bytes (an int), so a page table also fits in a single 4K page.  a
   64  * 4K page being used as a page table is called a page table page (PTP).
   65  * each PTE in a PTP maps one 4K page (1024 * 4K = 4MB).   a PTE contains
   66  * the physical address of the page it maps and some flag bits (described
   67  * below).
   68  *
   69  * the processor has a special register, "cr3", which points to the
   70  * the PDP which is currently controlling the mappings of the virtual
   71  * address space.
   72  *
   73  * the following picture shows the translation process for a 4K page:
   74  *

   91  *                                                bits <31-12>   bits <11-0>

   93  *
   94  * the i386 caches PTEs in a TLB.   it is important to flush out old
   95  * TLB mappings when making a change to a mappings.   writing to the
   96  * %cr3 will flush the entire TLB.    newer processors also have an
   97  * instruction that will invalidate the mapping of a single page (which
   98  * is useful if you are changing a single mappings because it preserves
   99  * all the cached TLB entries).
  100  *
  101  * as shows, bits 31-12 of the PTE contain PA of the page being mapped.
  102  * the rest of the PTE is defined as follows:
  103  *   bit#       name    use
  104  *   11         n/a     available for OS use, hardware ignores it
  105  *   10         n/a     available for OS use, hardware ignores it
  106  *   9          n/a     available for OS use, hardware ignores it
  107  *   8          G       global bit (see discussion below)
  108  *   7          PS      page size [for PDEs] (0=4k, 1=4M <if supported>)
  109  *   6          D       dirty (modified) page
  110  *   5          A       accessed (referenced) page
  111  *   4          PCD     cache disable
  112  *   3          PWT     prevent write through (cache)
  113  *   2          U/S     user/supervisor bit (0=supervisor only, 1=both u&s)
  114  *   1          R/W     read/write bit (0=read only, 1=read-write)
  115  *   0          P       present (valid)
  116  *
  117  * notes:
  118  *  - on the i386 the R/W bit is ignored if processor is in supervisor
  119  *    state (bug!)
  120  *  - PS is only supported on newer processors
  121  *  - PTEs with the G bit are global in the sense that they are not
  122  *    flushed from the TLB when %cr3 is written (to flush, use the
  123  *    "flush single page" instruction).   this is only supported on
  124  *    newer processors.    this bit can be used to keep the kernel's
  125  *    TLB entries around while context switching.   since the kernel
  126  *    is mapped into all processes at the same place it does not make
  127  *    sense to flush these entries when switching from one process'
  128  *    pmap to another.
