Flushing entries in the process page table on Linux

Question

I was wondering if there is any utility / code in Linux (x86-64) that could reset the entries of each table in the table for the given address space of the process (user)?

thanks

Answer 1

I think that /proc/pid/pagemap and /proc/pid/maps contain this information, but I don’t know which tool dumped them in a more meaningful format.

You can always write it yourself using the doc document:
