Because Linux might use bigger pages than the 4K pages to handle those mmio ioremaps, the kmmio code shouldn't rely on the pade id as it currently does. Using the memory address instead of the page id let's us lookup how big the page is and what it's base address is, so that we won't get a page fault within the same page twice anymore. I don't know if I got this right though,

Hi, I think I got mmiotracing back to work on my machine. Would you please test this patch on your machines too? I still got some UNKNOWN entries in the mmiotrace file, but besides that it seems to work. I have no idea if that's the right way though, and it needs a big cleanup, but I just wanted to see if the basic idea works the patch should apply just fine on any 4.4 kernel happy

Both call sites, that access kmmio_ctx, access kmmio_ctx with interrupts disabled. There is no need to use get_cpu_var() which additionally disables preemption. Use this_cpu_ptr() to access the kmmio_ctx variable of the current CPU.

If something calls ioremap with an address not aligned to PAGE_SIZE, the returned address might be not aligned as well. This led to a probe registered on exactly the returned address, but the entire page was armed for mmiotracing. On calling iounmap the address passed to unregister_kmmio_probe was PAGE_SIZE aligned by the caller leading to a complete freeze of the machine. We should always page

After every iounmap mmiotrace has to free kmmio_fault_pages, but it can't do it directly, so it defers freeing by RCU. It usually works, but when mmiotraced code calls ioremap-iounmap multiple times without sleeping between (so RCU won't kick in and start freeing) it can be given the same virtual address, so at every iounmap mmiotrace will schedule the same pages for release. Obviously it
