Logically, the PAGE_SIZE on 64bit architectures should be 8KB. That's
at least the way I understand it. However, looking at the kernel code
of x86_64, I see the PAGE_SIZE is 4KB.
Can anyone explain to me

I see. Thanks, guys.

That's not true.

. Isn't it?
I know that using one page for a kernel stack is a optional feature, but:
a) It's a good feature
b) It's already used by major distros, e.g. Red Hat

According to my knowledge the PAGE_SIZE on 32bit architectures in 4KB.
Logically, the PAGE_SIZE on 64bit architectures should be 8KB. That's at
least the way I understand it. However, looking at the kernel code of
x86_64, I see the PAGE_SIZE is 4KB.
Can anyone explain to me what am I missing
