Some CPU architectures are able to run with a number of different base-page sizes; using a larger size can often result in better performance at the
cost of increased memory use. Other architectures are more limited. At
the 2026 Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit, two sessions in
the memory-management track explored options for letting processes run with 64KB page sizes when the underlying kernel does not. The first was focused
on letting each process have its own page size, while the second concerned bringing 64KB pages to x86 systems.
