[PATCH 04/26] mm/arm: Use general page fault accounting

From: Peter Xu
Date: Fri Jun 19 2020 - 12:07:05 EST


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.
