Hi,

Here are 2 small patches which try to fulfill a point in the perf todo
list:

* Forward port the page fault tracepoints and use it in 'trace'.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=d53b11976093b6d8afeb8181db53aaffc754920d;hp=32ba4abf60ae1b710d22a75725491815de649bc5

There are some questionable points:

* With luck I think I found the patch related with the todo item (the
  link in the todo wiki page is broken); I hope I am not wrong...
* In the patch mentioned above, I found only changes related with
  tracepoints creations and calls; the tracepoints were declared
  generic (in include/trace/events/kmem.h) but were only called in x86
  (arch/x86/mm/fault.c); as in x86, the tracepoint
  "mm_pagefault_start" looks fairly like "page_fault_user" and
  "page_fault_kernel", I decided to only create one x86-specific
  tracepoint: "page_fault_exit"; maybe, you would prefer declaring
  generic tracepoints;
* No option has been added for activating page-fault duration
  calculation: if the needed tracepoints are available, durations will
  be printed; maybe, that was not what you were looking for.

The patches were generated against tip/perf/core.

Alexis.
