CONFIG_X86_COMMON_PAGE_TABLE

Use a single page table for all threads

Type: bool

Help

If this option is enabled, userspace memory domains will not have their own page tables. Instead, context switching operations will modify page tables in place. This is much slower, but uses much less RAM for page tables.

USERSPACE && !SMP && !X86_KPTI && X86
