    Where are all the kernel page tables stored ?
    AFAIK, all the page tables for the different user processes are stored
    in the kernel and the updation of these tables upon a page fault and
    resulting
    paging in of a page from the disk to memory is handled by the kernel.
    What
    about kernel page tables ? Is there any fixed region in the kernel (
    which is never paged out ) where they are present ? How are the kernel
    page faults handled ?
