Page Tables
When and why do we access a page table?- On every instruction to translate virtual to
physical addresses?

Page Tables
When and why do we access a page table?- On every instruction to translate virtual to
physical addresses?
In Blitz, YES, but in real machines NO!In real machines it is only accessed
- On TLB miss faults to refill the TLB- During process creation and destruction- When a process allocates or frees memory?

Translation Lookaside Buffer
Problem: MMU can’t keep up with the CPU if it goes to the page table on every memory access!

Translation Lookaside BufferSolution:
- Cache the page table entries in a hardware cache
- Small number of entries (e.g., 64)- Each entry contains page number and other
stuff from page table entry- Associatively indexed on page number
ie. You can do a lookup in a single cycle

Software Operation of TLBWhat if the entry is not in the TLB?
- Go look in the page table in memory- Find the right entry- Move it into the TLB- But which TLB entry should be replaced?
![Page 15: CS399 New Beginnings Jonathan Walpole. Virtual Memory (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1c5503460f94c31b7a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Software Operation of TLBHardware TLB refill
- Page tables in specific location and format- TLB hardware handles its own misses- Replacement policy fixed by hardware
Software refill- Hardware generates trap (TLB miss fault)- Lets the OS deal with the problem- Page tables become entirely a OS data structure!- Replacement policy managed in software
![Page 16: CS399 New Beginnings Jonathan Walpole. Virtual Memory (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1c5503460f94c31b7a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Software Operation of TLBHow can we prevent the next process from using the last
process’s address mappings?- Option 1: empty the TLB on context switch
New process will generate faults until its pulls enough of its own entries into the TLB
- Option 2: just clear the “Valid Bit” on context switchNew process will generate faults until its pulls enough of its own entries into the TLB
- Option 3: the hardware maintains a process id tag on each TLB entry
Hardware compares this to a process id held in a specific register … on every translation

Page TablesDo we access a page table when a process allocates
or frees memory?
![Page 18: CS399 New Beginnings Jonathan Walpole. Virtual Memory (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1c5503460f94c31b7a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Page Table UsageDo we access a page table when a process allocates
or frees memory?- Not necessarily
Library routines (malloc) can service small requests from a pool of free memory already allocated within a process address space
When these routines run out of space a new page must be allocated and its entry inserted into the page table- This allocation is requested using a system call
![Page 19: CS399 New Beginnings Jonathan Walpole. Virtual Memory (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1c5503460f94c31b7a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Page Table DesignPage table size depends on
- Page size - Virtual address length
Memory used for page tables is overhead!- How can we save space? … and still find entries quickly?
Three options- Single-level page tables- Multi-level page tables- Inverted page tables
![Page 20: CS399 New Beginnings Jonathan Walpole. Virtual Memory (1)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649f1c5503460f94c31b7a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Multi-Level Page Tables
Ok, but how exactly does this save space?Not all pages within a virtual address space are allocated
- Not only do they not have a page frame, but that range of virtual addresses is not being used
- So no need to maintain complete information about it- Some intermediate page tables are empty and not
needed
We could also page the page table- This saves space but slows access … a lot!
