[PATCH 2/6] numa,sched: track from which nodes NUMA faults are triggered

From: riel
Date: Fri Jan 17 2014 - 01:28:38 EST


From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Track which nodes NUMA faults are triggered from, in other words
the CPUs on which the NUMA faults happened. This uses a similar
mechanism to what is used to track the memory involved in numa faults.

The next patches use this to build up a bitmap of which nodes a
workload is actively running on.
