Ross Zwisler 282a8e0391 dax: add tracepoint infrastructure, PMD tracing
Tracepoints are the standard way to capture debugging and tracing
information in many parts of the kernel, including the XFS and ext4
filesystems.  Create a tracepoint header for FS DAX and add the first DAX
tracepoints to the PMD fault handler.  This allows the tracing for DAX to
be done in the same way as the filesystem tracing so that developers can
look at them together and get a coherent idea of what the system is doing.

I added both an entry and exit tracepoint because future patches will add
tracepoints to child functions of dax_iomap_pmd_fault() like
dax_pmd_load_hole() and dax_pmd_insert_mapping().  We want those messages
to be wrapped by the parent function tracepoints so the code flow is more
easily understood.  Having entry and exit tracepoints for faults also
allows us to easily see what filesystems functions were called during the
fault.  These filesystem functions get executed via iomap_begin() and
iomap_end() calls, for example, and will have their own tracepoints.

For PMD faults we primarily want to understand the type of mapping, the
fault flags, the faulting address and whether it fell back to 4k faults.
If it fell back to 4k faults the tracepoints should let us understand why.

I named the new tracepoint header file "fs_dax.h" to allow for device DAX
to have its own separate tracing header in the same directory at some
point.

Here is an example output for these events from a successful PMD fault:

  big-1441  [005] ....    32.582758: xfs_filemap_pmd_fault: dev 259:0 ino 0x1003

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
