[PATCH 5/7] x86: mm: add tracepoints for TLB flushes

[Dave Hansen]

Changes from v3:
 * remove trace_tlb.c and __print_symbolic() instead
 * make sure to cover all cases in flush_tlb_func()
 * remove _DONE "reason" since it was not precise enough

--

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We don't have any good way to figure out what kinds of flushes
are being attempted.  Right now, we can try to use the vm
counters, but those only tell us what we actually did with the
hardware (one-by-one vs full) and don't tell us what was actually
_requested_.

This allows us to select out "interesting" TLB flushes that we
might want to optimize (like the ranged ones) and ignore the ones
that we have very little control over (the ones at context
switch).
