page-faults events record the invoke to handle_mm_fault, but the invoke
may come from do_page_fault or gup. In some use cases, the finer event count
mey be needed, so add trace events support for:

__get_user_pages
__get_user_pages_fast
fixup_user_fault

Arges added and not used by TP_fast_assign(), this will slow down the
code while tracing is enabled, as they need to be added to the trace
function call.

Here too but this is worse. See below.

+
+ TP_STRUCT__entry(
+ __field( unsigned long, start )
+ __field( unsigned long, nr_pages )
+ ),
+
+ TP_fast_assign(
+ __entry->start = start;
+ __entry->nr_pages = nr_pages;
+ ),
+
+ TP_printk("start=%lx nr_pages=%lu", __entry->start, __entry->nr_pages)
+);
+
+TRACE_EVENT(gup_get_user_pages_fast,
+
+ TP_PROTO(unsigned long start, int nr_pages, int write,
+ struct page **pages),
+
+ TP_ARGS(start, nr_pages, write, pages),

This and the above "gup_get_user_pages" have the same entry field,
assign and printk. They should be combined into a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
and two DEFINE_EVENT()s. That will save on size as the
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() is the biggest part of each TRACE_EVENT().

Thanks for the suggestion, will fix them in V3.

Yang
