Tracepoints are the standard way to capture debugging and tracing information in many parts of the kernel, including the XFS and ext4 filesystems. This series creates a tracepoint header for FS DAX and add the first few 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 do intend to add tracepoints to the normal 4k DAX fault path and to the DAX I/O path, but I wanted to get feedback on the PMD tracepoints before I went any further. This series is based on Jan Kara's "dax: Clear dirty bits after flushing caches" series: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/linux-nvdimm/2016-November/007864.html I've pushed a git tree with this work here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/zwisler/linux.git/log/?h=dax_tracepoints_v2 Changes since v1: - Dropped the patch fixing the build issue between DAX, ext4 and FS_IOMAP. I'll resend an updated patch if needed once Jan's patches for this issue are applied. - Added incude/linux/dax.h to MAINTAINERS in patch 4. (Matthew) - Begin each DAX tracepoint with the device major/minor and the inode so that we are consistent with the XFS tracepoints. This will allow for easy grepping of the tracepoint output. (Dave) - Print all PMD fault flags, not just whether we are doing a read or a write. (Jan) - Added __print_flags_u64() and the necessary helpers to the tracing infrastructure. These functions allow us to print symbols associated with flags that are 64 bits wide even on 32 bit machines. We need this for the pfn_t flags.
