When I was profiling some hugetlb related program, I got page-faults event doubled when hugetlb is enabled. When I looked into the code, I found page-faults come from two places, do_page_fault and gup. So, I tried to figure out which play a role (or both) in my use case. But I can't find existing finer tracing event for sub page-faults in current mainline kernel. So, I added the gup trace points support to have finer tracing events for page-faults. The below events are added: __get_user_pages __get_user_pages_fast fixup_user_fault Both __get_user_pages and fixup_user_fault call handle_mm_fault. Just added trace points to raw version __get_user_pages since all variants will call it finally to do real work. Although __get_user_pages_fast doesn't call handle_mm_fault, it might be useful to have it to distinguish between slow and fast version.
