A 32-bit system with Linux loaded does not use the Page Middle Directory. That is, it effectively has a two-level page table. The first 10 bits of the virtual address correspond to the offset within the Page Global Directory (PGD). The second 10 bits correspond to an offset into the Page Table (PTE). The remaining 12 bits correspond to the page offset.
What is the page size in this Linux system? How many pages can a task access? How much memory?
