O.K., what I did is something like below,
---
void tlb_fill(CPUARMState *env1, target_ulong addr, int is_write, int mmu_idx,
uintptr_t retaddr)
{
ret = cpu_arm_handle_mmu_fault(env, addr, is_write, mmu_idx);
if (unlikely(ret)) {
page_fault++; // page fault
}
env = saved_env;
}
---
IIUC, cpu_arm_handle_mmu_fault will lookup guest page table, return 1 if there
is a page fault, that's why I add a counter there. But this way I'll collect a
global static not per-process one. I'll try systemtap latter but not sure it
does the same thing I want to do.
Any thoughts? :)
