[PATCH 2/2] trace: Add trap entry/exit tracepoints

From: Vaibhav Nagarnaik

From: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are many ways that the system can move from user space to kernel
space and back. Of those, syscalls and interrupts are traced in ftrace.
Using traps is another way, but is not traced currently. Page faults,
general protection faults and others provide analysis of how the system
is behaving, who causes it and timing impact on the system performance
and running processes.

The following patch adds the event definition for trap entry/exit and
the instrumentation hooks for x86 platforms. Other platforms should be
able to use these events as well once they add the corresponding
instrumentation.

$ echo 1 > debug/tracing/events/trap/enable
run gdb to genrate some trap events
$ cat debug/tracing/trace
<...>-13619 [003] 917.726602: trap_entry: number=3
