[PATCH v4 4/4] Add page fault tracepoints

From: Seiji Aguchi
Date: Wed Oct 30 2013 - 16:42:27 EST


This patch introduces page fault tracepoints to x86 architecture
by switching IDT.

Two events, for user and kernel spaces, are introduced at the beginning
of page fault handler for tracing.

- User space event
There is a request of page fault event for user space as below.

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1368079520-11015-2-git-send-email-fdeslaur+()+gmail+!+com
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1368079520-11015-1-git-send-email-fdeslaur+()+gmail+!+com

- Kernel space event:
When we meature an overhead in kernel space for investigating performance
issues, we can check if it comes from the page fault events.
