Subject[RFC] Add gup trace points support
Date

Some background about why I think this might be useful.

When I was profiling some hugetlb related program, I got page-faults event
doubled when hugetlb is enabled. When I looked into the code, I found page-faults
come from two places, do_page_fault and gup. So, I tried to figure out which
play a role (or both) in my use case. But I can't find existing finer tracing
event for sub page-faults in current mainline kernel.

So, I added the gup trace points support to have finer tracing events for
page-faults. The below events are added:

__get_user_pages
__get_user_pages_fast
fixup_user_fault

Both __get_user_pages and fixup_user_fault call handle_mm_fault.

Just added trace points to raw version __get_user_pages since all variants
will call it finally to do real work.

Although __get_user_pages_fast doesn't call handle_mm_fault, it might be useful
to have it to distinguish between slow and fast version.


Yang Shi (7):
