curprev 05:3405:34, 5 January 2024 Guy Harris talk contribs 17,818 bytes −21‎ →{{Anchor|PTE}}Role of the page table: Page tables are more than just OS data structures (and the VM system may have data structures, separate from the page table, to store mapping information, including storing the *secondary* storage locations of pages). The page table is, on most systems, where mappings that will be directly used by CPU instruction and data fetches and stores are found. undo
curprev 05:2505:25, 5 January 2024 Guy Harris talk contribs 17,839 bytes +166‎ Page tables are set up by the OS, but whether they are read by the MMU depends on the system. Most MMUs do the table walk in hardware or microcode, but MIPS processors have only a TLB, and trap to low-level system code, which does the page-table walk, on a TLB miss, and Alpha processors are similar, but trap to PALcode firmware, instead. undo

Note that W^X may also involve the read-only bit, where executable pages are read-only and writable pages aren't executable. undo
