Recently I found Linux 2.4 kernel is affected by the
bug of extended paging in AMD Athlon through the
following link. I don't know if FreeBSD is also
affected.
I am well aware of this bug.
It does not affect FreeBSD, which only uses 4M pages
for
the first 4M of the kernel itself.
I've worked on code that enables 4M pages on other
memory
used in FreeBSD, that had this problem, but only if
you
were really stupid in your allocation mechanism.
