Question

A system with simple paged memory management has addresses of B bits and pages of size P KiB. If all memory is pageable, what is the maximum number of items contained in a process's page table? What if K KiB are reserved for the kernel and are not pageable? Also suppose that the page table is organized in 2 levels, so that the page directory (first level) is addressed by D bits. How many bits will be used to address the second level? How many entries will there be, at most, among all the tables of the pages (first and second level) of a process?
