  2. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    The Linux kernel includes full PAE-mode support starting with version 2.3.23, [24] in 1999 enabling access of up to 64 GB of memory on 32-bit machines. A PAE-enabled Linux kernel requires that the CPU also support PAE. The Linux kernel supports PAE as a build option and major distributions provide a PAE kernel either as the default or as an option.

  3. Executable-space protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable-space_protection

    The 32-bit PAE desktop kernel (linux-image-generic-pae) in Ubuntu 9.10 and later, also provides the PAE mode needed for hardware with the NX CPU feature. For systems that lack NX hardware, the 32-bit kernels now provide an approximation of the NX CPU feature via software emulation that can help block many exploits an attacker might run from ...

  4. Control register - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_register

    If set, enables debug register based breaks on I/O space access. 4: PSE: Page Size Extension: If set, enables 32-bit paging mode to use 4 MiB huge pages in addition to 4 KiB pages. If PAE is enabled or the processor is in x86-64 long mode this bit is ignored. [14] 5: PAE: Physical Address Extension

  5. PCI configuration space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space

    To address a PCI device, it must be enabled by being mapped into the system's I/O port address space or memory-mapped address space. The system's firmware (e.g. BIOS ) or the operating system program the Base Address Registers (commonly called BARs) to inform the device of its resources configuration by writing configuration commands to the PCI ...

  6. NX bit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit

    The NX bit (no-execute) is a technology used in CPUs to segregate areas of a virtual address space to store either data or processor instructions. An operating system with support for the NX bit may mark certain areas of an address space as non-executable. The processor will then refuse to execute any code residing in these areas of the address ...

  7. User space and kernel space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_space_and_kernel_space

    Typically, kernel space programs run in kernel mode, also called supervisor mode; normal applications in user space run in user mode. Some operating systems are single address space operating systems—they have a single address space for all user-mode code. (The kernel-mode code may be in the same address space, or it may be in a second ...

  8. 3 GB barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

    The CPU pinouts likewise provide 36 bits of physical address lines to the motherboard. [7] Many x86 operating systems, including any version of Linux with a PAE kernel and some versions of Windows Server and macOS, can use PAE to address up to 64 GiB of memory on an x86 system. [8] [9] [10]

  9. Talk : Physical Address Extension/Archives/2014/August

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Physical_Address...

    PAE enables physical addresses beyond 4GB. 32-bit Windows OSs are limited to 4GB of virtual address space. Jeh 05:07, 8 January 2010 (UTC) The MikroS-PR marketed in-genius cover up and MS pr-dept. have to feed 'MS do not lience PAE' what mean == 'PAE does not work on 32 MikS. It works fine on 32-bit Server editions.
