General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_8KB has multiple definitions:

8KiB pages found in arch/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_8KB:

• prompt: 8KiB pages
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_HAVE_PAGE_SIZE_8KB
• defined in arch/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.9–6.17, 6.18-rc+HEAD

Help text

This option is the only supported page size on a few older processors, and can be slightly faster than 4KiB pages.

8kB found in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_8KB:

• prompt: 8kB
• type: bool
• depends on: ! CONFIG_MMU || CONFIG_X2TLB
• defined in arch/sh/mm/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.20–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8

Help text

This enables 8kB pages as supported by SH-X2 and later MMUs.

8kB found in arch/mips/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_8KB:

• prompt: 8kB
• type: bool
• depends on: ( CONFIG_CPU_CAVIUM_OCTEON ) && (! CONFIG_MIPS_VA_BITS_48 )
• defined in arch/mips/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.8–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.8

Using 8kB page size will result in higher performance kernel at the price of higher memory consumption. This option is available only on cnMIPS processors. Note that you will need a suitable Linux distribution to support this.
