[merged] mm-arm-use-general-page-fault-accounting.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/arm: use general page fault accounting
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-arm-use-general-page-fault-accounting.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>
Subject: mm/arm: use general page fault accounting

Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into
handle_mm_fault().  It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault
accounting when page fault retry happened.  To do this, we need to pass
the pt_regs pointer into __do_page_fault().

Fix PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf event manually for page fault retries,
by moving it before taking mmap_sem.
