Ross Zwisler a9c42b33ed dax: add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault()
Patch series "second round of tracepoints for DAX".

This second round of DAX tracepoint patches adds tracing to the PTE
fault path (dax_iomap_pte_fault(), dax_pfn_mkwrite(), dax_load_hole(),
dax_insert_mapping()) and to the writeback path
(dax_writeback_mapping_range(), dax_writeback_one()).

The purpose of this tracing is to give us a high level view of what DAX
is doing, whether faults are being serviced by PMDs or PTEs, and by real
storage or by zero pages covering holes.

I do have some patches nearly ready which also add tracing to
grab_mapping_entry() and dax_insert_mapping_entry().  These are more
targeted at logging how we are interacting with the radix tree, how we
use empty entries for locking, whether we "downgrade" huge zero pages to
4k PTE sized allocations, etc.  In the end it seemed to me that this
might be too detailed to have as constantly present tracepoints, but if
anyone sees value in having tracepoints like this in the DAX code
permanently (Jan?), please let me know and I'll add those last two
patches.

All these tracepoints were done to be consistent with the style of the
XFS tracepoints and with the existing DAX PMD tracepoints.

This patch (of 6):

Add tracepoints to dax_iomap_pte_fault(), following the same logging
conventions as the rest of DAX.

Here is an example fault that initially tries to be serviced by the PMD
fault handler but which falls back to PTEs because the VMA isn't large
enough to hold a PMD:

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.
