DAMON_RECLAIM reads the user input parameters only when it starts. To
allow more efficient online tuning, this commit implements a new input
parameter called 'commit_inputs'. Writing true to the parameter makes
DAMON_RECLAIM reads the input parameters again.

Currently, DAMON sysfs interface doesn't provide a way for adjusting DAMON
input parameters while it is turned on. Therefore, users who want to
reconfigure DAMON need to stop DAMON and restart. This means all the
monitoring results that accumulated so far, which could be useful, should
be flushed. This would be inefficient for many cases.
For an example, let's suppose a sysadmin was running a DAMON-based
Operation Scheme to find memory regions not accessed for more than 5 mins
and page out the regions. If it turns out the 5 mins threshold was too
long and therefore the sysadmin wants to reduce it to 4 mins, the sysadmin
should turn off DAMON, restart it, and wait for at least 4 more minutes so
that DAMON can find the cold memory regions, even though DAMON was knowing
there are regions that not accessed for 4 mins at the time of shutdown.
This commit makes DAMON sysfs interface to support online DAMON input
parameters updates by adding a new input keyword for the 'state' DAMON
sysfs file, 'commit'. Writing the keyword to the 'state' file while the
corresponding kdamond is running makes the kdamond to read the sysfs file
values again and update the DAMON context.

Only '->kdamond' and '->kdamond_stop' are protected by 'kdamond_lock' of
'struct damon_ctx'. All other DAMON context internal data items are
recommended to be accessed in DAMON callbacks, or under some additional
synchronizations. But, DAMON sysfs is accessing the schemes stat under
'kdamond_lock'.
It makes no big issue as the read values are not used anywhere inside
kernel, but would better to be fixed. This commit moves the reads to
DAMON callback context, as supposed to be used for the purpose.

DAMON sysfs 'state' file handling code is using string literals in both
'state_show()' and 'state_store()'. This makes the code error prone and
inflexible for future extensions.
To improve the situation, this commit defines possible input strings and
'enum' for identifying each input keyword only once, and refactors the
code to reuse those.

Patch series "mm/damon: Support online tuning".
Effects of DAMON and DAMON-based Operation Schemes highly depends on the
configurations. Wrong configurations could even result in unexpected
efficiency degradations. For finding a best configuration, repeating
incremental configuration changes and results measurements, in other
words, online tuning, could be helpful.
Nevertheless, DAMON kernel API supports only restrictive online tuning.
Worse yet, the sysfs-based DAMON user interface doesn't support online
tuning at all. DAMON_RECLAIM also doesn't support online tuning.
This patchset makes the DAMON kernel API, DAMON sysfs interface, and
DAMON_RECLAIM supports online tuning.
Sequence of patches
-------------------
First two patches enhance DAMON online tuning for kernel API users.
Specifically, patch 1 let kernel API users to be able to do DAMON online
tuning without a restriction, and patch 2 makes error handling easier.
Following seven patches (patches 3-9) refactor code for better readability
and easier reuse of code fragments that will be useful for online tuning
support.
Patch 10 introduces DAMON callback based user request handling structure
for DAMON sysfs interface, and patch 11 enables DAMON online tuning via
DAMON sysfs interface. Documentation patch (patch 12) for usage of it
follows.
Patch 13 enables online tuning of DAMON_RECLAIM and finally patch 14
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM online tuning usage.
This patch (of 14):
For updating input parameters for running DAMON contexts, DAMON kernel API
users can use the contexts' callbacks, as it is the safe place for context
internal data accesses. When the context has DAMON-based operation
schemes and all schemes are deactivated due to their watermarks, however,
DAMON does nothing but only watermarks checks. As a result, no callbacks
will be called back, and therefore the kernel API users cannot update the
input parameters including monitoring attributes, DAMON-based operation
schemes, and watermarks.
To let users easily update such DAMON input parameters in such a case,
this commit adds a new callback, 'after_wmarks_check()'. It will be
called after each watermarks check. Users can do the online input
parameters update in the callback even under the schemes deactivated case.

Patch series "support fixed virtual address ranges monitoring".
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overhead
or distractions.
This patchset adds supports for the use case on DAMON's kernel API
(DAMON_OPS_FVADDR) and sysfs interface ('fvaddr' keyword for 'operations'
sysfs file).
This patch (of 3):
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overheads
or distractions.
For such cases, DAMON's API users can simply set the '->init()' and
'->update()' of the DAMON context's '->ops' NULL, and set the target
monitoring regions when creating the context. But, that would be a dirty
hack. Worse yet, the hack is unavailable for DAMON user space interface
users.
To support the use case in a clean way that can easily exported to the
user space, this commit adds another monitoring operations set called
'fvaddr', which is same to 'vaddr' but does not automatically update the
monitoring regions. Instead, it will only respect the virtual address
regions which have explicitly passed at the initial context creation.
Note that this commit leave sysfs interface not supporting the feature
yet. The support will be made in a following commit.

for listing available monitoring ops. Reading the file will list each

Patch series "mm/damon: allow users know which monitoring ops are available".
DAMON users can configure it for vaious address spaces including virtual
address spaces and the physical address space by setting its monitoring
operations set with appropriate one for their purpose. However, there is
no celan and simple way to know exactly which monitoring operations sets
are available on the currently running kernel.
This patchset adds functions for the purpose on DAMON's kernel API
('damon_is_registered_ops()') and sysfs interface ('avail_operations' file
under each context directory).
This patch (of 4):
To know if a specific 'damon_operations' is registered, users need to
check the kernel config or try 'damon_select_ops()' with the ops of the
question, and then see if it successes. In the latter case, the user
should also revert the change. To make the process simple and convenient,
this commit adds a function for checking if a specific 'damon_operations'
is registered or not.

In the DAMON, the minimum wait time of the schemes decides whether the
kernel wakes up 'kdamon_fn()'. But since the minimum wait time is
initialized to zero, there are corner cases against the original
objective.
For example, if we have several schemes for one target, and if the wait
time of the first scheme is zero, the minimum wait time will set zero,
which means 'kdamond_fn()' should wake up to apply this scheme.
However, in the following scheme, wait time can be set to non-zero.
Thus, the mininum wait time will be set to non-zero, which can cause
sleeping this interval for 'kdamon_fn()' due to one deactivated last
scheme.
This commit prevents making DAMON monitoring inactive state due to other
deactivated schemes.

This commit links the DAMON sysfs interface to DAMON so that users can
control DAMON via the interface. In detail, this commit makes writing
'on' to 'state' file constructs DAMON contexts based on values that users
have written to relevant sysfs files and start the context. It supports
only virtual address spaces monitoring at the moment, though.
The files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface after this commit is shown
below. In the below figure, parents-children relations are represented
with indentations, each directory is having ``/`` suffix, and files in
each directory are separated by comma (",").

The usage is straightforward. Writing a number ('N') to each 'nr_*' file
makes directories named '0' to 'N-1'. Users can construct DAMON contexts
by writing proper values to the files in the straightforward manner and
start each kdamond by writing 'on' to 'kdamonds/<N>/state'.

DAMON's debugfs-based user interface served very well, so far. However,
it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not aimed to be used
for only debugging. Also, the interface receives multiple values via one
file. For example, schemes file receives 18 values separated by white
spaces. As a result, it is ineffient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate the debugfs
interface in long term.
To this end, this commit implements a stub of a part of the new user
interface of DAMON using sysfs. Specifically, this commit implements the
sysfs control parts for virtual address space monitoring.
More specifically, the idea of the new interface is, using directory
hierarchies and making one file for one value. The hierarchy that this
commit is introducing is as below. In the below figure, parents-children
relations are represented with indentations, each directory is having
``/`` suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma (",").
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
│ │ 0/state,pid
│ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts
│ │ │ │ 0/operations
│ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/
│ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us
│ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max
│ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets
│ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target
│ │ │ │ │ │ ...
│ │ │ │ ...
│ │ ...
Writing a number <N> to each 'nr' file makes directories of name <0> to
<N-1> in the directory of the 'nr' file. That's all this commit does.
Writing proper values to relevant files will construct the DAMON contexts,
and writing a special keyword, 'on', to 'state' files for each kdamond
will ask DAMON to start the constructed contexts.
For a short example, using below commands for monitoring virtual address
spaces of a given workload is imaginable:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
Please note that this commit is implementing only the sysfs part stub as
abovely mentioned. This commit doesn't implement the special keywords for
'state' files. Following commits will do that.

Patch series "Introduce DAMON sysfs interface", v3.
Introduction
============
DAMON's debugfs-based user interface (DAMON_DBGFS) served very well, so
far. However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not
aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives
multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18
values. As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long
term.
For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface
of DAMON. The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies
and having one dedicated file for each value. For a short example, users
can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
A brief representation of the files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface is
as below. Childs are represented with indentation, directories are having
'/' suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma.

Main Difference Between DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS
---------------------------------------------------
At the moment, DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS provides same features. One
important difference between them is their exclusiveness. DAMON_DBGFS
works in an exclusive manner, so that no DAMON worker thread (kdamond) in
the system can run concurrently and interfere somehow. For the reason,
DAMON_DBGFS asks users to construct all monitoring contexts and start them
at once. It's not a big problem but makes the operation a little bit
complex and unflexible.
For more flexible usage, DAMON_SYSFS moves the responsibility of
preventing any possible interference to the admins and work in a
non-exclusive manner. That is, users can configure and start contexts one
by one. Note that DAMON respects both exclusive groups and non-exclusive
groups of contexts, in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks.
That is, if any exclusive monitoring contexts (e.g., contexts that started
via DAMON_DBGFS) are running, DAMON_SYSFS does not start new contexts, and
vice versa.
Future Plan of DAMON_DBGFS Deprecation
======================================
Once this patchset is merged, DAMON_DBGFS development will be frozen.
That is, we will maintain it to work as is now so that no users will be
break. But, it will not be extended to provide any new feature of DAMON.
The support will be continued only until next LTS release. After that, we
will drop DAMON_DBGFS.
User-space Tooling Compatibility
--------------------------------
As DAMON_SYSFS provides all features of DAMON_DBGFS, all user space
tooling can move to DAMON_SYSFS. As we will continue supporting
DAMON_DBGFS until next LTS kernel release, user space tools would have
enough time to move to DAMON_SYSFS.
The official user space tool, damo[1], is already supporting both
DAMON_SYSFS and DAMON_DBGFS. Both correctness tests[2] and performance
tests[3] of DAMON using DAMON_SYSFS also passed.

Sequence of Patches
===================
First two patches (patches 1-2) make core changes for DAMON_SYSFS. The
first one (patch 1) allows non-exclusive DAMON contexts so that
DAMON_SYSFS can work in non-exclusive mode, while the second one (patch 2)
adds size of DAMON enum types so that DAMON API users can safely iterate
the enums.
Third patch (patch 3) implements basic sysfs stub for virtual address
spaces monitoring. Note that this implements only sysfs files and DAMON
is not linked. Fourth patch (patch 4) links the DAMON_SYSFS to DAMON so
that users can control DAMON using the sysfs files.
Following six patches (patches 5-10) implements other DAMON features that
DAMON_DBGFS supports one by one (physical address space monitoring,
DAMON-based operation schemes, schemes quotas, schemes prioritization
weights, schemes watermarks, and schemes stats).
Following patch (patch 11) adds a simple selftest for DAMON_SYSFS, and the
final one (patch 12) documents DAMON_SYSFS.
This patch (of 13):
To avoid interference between DAMON contexts monitoring overlapping memory
regions, damon_start() works in an exclusive manner. That is,
damon_start() does nothing bug fails if any context that started by
another instance of the function is still running. This makes its usage a
little bit restrictive. However, admins could aware each DAMON usage and
address such interferences on their own in some cases.
This commit hence implements non-exclusive mode of the function and allows
the callers to select the mode. Note that the exclusive groups and
non-exclusive groups of contexts will respect each other in a manner
similar to that of reader-writer locks. Therefore, this commit will not
cause any behavioral change to the exclusive groups.

DAMON debugfs interface depends on monitoring operations for virtual
address spaces because it knows if the target has pid or not by seeing if
the context is configured to use one of the virtual address space
monitoring operation functions. We can replace that check with 'enum
damon_ops_id' now, to make it independent. This commit makes the change.

In-kernel DAMON user code like DAMON debugfs interface should set 'struct
damon_operations' of its 'struct damon_ctx' on its own. Therefore, the
client code should depend on all supporting monitoring operations
implementations that it could use. For example, DAMON debugfs interface
depends on both vaddr and paddr, while some of the users are not always
interested in both.
To minimize such unnecessary dependencies, this commit makes the
monitoring operations can be registered by implementing code and then
dynamically selected by the user code without build-time dependency.

Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
(struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
will be bigger.
To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
searched and selected by the user code.
In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
it means and how it would be structed.
This patch (of 8):
DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not
so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood,
this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
too late to rename.

DAMON asks each monitoring target ('struct damon_target') to have one
'unsigned long' integer called 'id', which should be unique among the
targets of same monitoring context. Meaning of it is, however, totally up
to the monitoring primitives that registered to the monitoring context.
For example, the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives treats the
id as a 'struct pid' pointer.
This makes the code flexible, but ugly, not well-documented, and
type-unsafe[1]. Also, identification of each target can be done via its
index. For the reason, this commit removes the concept and uses clear
type definition. For now, only 'struct pid' pointer is used for the
virtual address spaces monitoring. If DAMON is extended in future so that
we need to put another identifier field in the struct, we will use a union
for such primitives-dependent fields and document which primitives are
using which type.

damon_set_targets() function is defined in the core for general use cases,
but called from only dbgfs. Also, because the function is for general use
cases, dbgfs does additional handling of pid type target id case. To make
the situation simpler, this commit moves the function into dbgfs and makes
it to do the pid type case handling on its own.

This patch (of 4):
Target id is a 'unsigned long' data, which can be interpreted differently
by each monitoring primitives. For example, it means 'struct pid *' for
the virtual address spaces monitoring, while it means nothing but an
integer to be displayed to debugfs interface users for the physical
address space monitoring. It's flexible but makes code ugly and
type-unsafe[1].
To be prepared for eventual removal of the concept, this commit removes a
use case of the concept in 'init_regions' debugfs file handling. In
detail, this commit replaces use of the id with the index of each target
in the context's targets list.
