H. Peter Anvin	a4f61dec55	x86, trace: Change user|kernel_page_fault to page_fault_user|kernel ... Tracepoints are named hierachially, and it makes more sense to keep a general flow of information level from general to specific from left to right, i.e. x86_exceptions.page_fault_user|kernel rather than x86_exceptions.user|kernel_page_fault Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Acked-by: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Signed-off-by: H.

Seiji Aguchi	d34603b07c	x86, trace: Add page fault tracepoints ... 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 measure an overhead in kernel space for investigating performance issues, we can check if it comes from the page fault events.
