to add page info.

In many kernel code we are talking with page other than pfn,
here we added page algin with pfn.
How exactly would this help you, what are you doing with the trace?

we met some problem where filesystem held the page.

we can show the page pointer other than pfn in filesystem code.

pfn is derived from the page, but not subject to KASLR, so in that sense is
better.
If you need to correlate the trace with some other data you obtained that
does contains page pointers, you will have to postprocess the trace with a
pfn_to_page() step, which is rather simple (but you'll need to obtain and
supply the randomized base) or have that other data source give you pfn too.

The tracepoints should not reveal the randomized base as trivially as they
would do after this patch.

ok, thanks for the suggest, I think generally we can try to handle the debug code in our local only.
