page faults/pageins

Hi,

Is there a way to determine the number of page faults
which occur because a certain page has been paged out
to disk and then back into memory (i.e. page faults
that would have been avoided if the VM subsystem
didn't swap the page to disk)? I know that major page
faults are the ones that require reading the page from
disk, but I think major page faults would count the
pages being brought into memory for the first time
also. I'm not sure pgpgin gives me what I want either,
though I'm not sure. Maybe I will need to instrument
the kernel to get this information?

Thanks,
John
