With your fixation on not patching the kernel you sound like a windows developer. There is no problem with patching the kernel, but the best patching of that kernel is that which happens upstream so please folks start submitting an mmiotrace variant for kernel inclusion. Then again I don't quite get why you absolutely want to track pagefaults anyway. Just hooking into ioremap and read*/write* and iomap + ioread*/iowrite* would be much easier and also a lot faster. It would also allow adding a nice sysfs attribute to enable this per-device. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
