Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement DAMOS tried total bytes file". The tried_regions directory of DAMON sysfs interface is useful for retrieving monitoring results snapshot or DAMOS debugging. However, for common use case that need to monitor only the total size of the scheme tried regions (e.g., monitoring working set size), the kernel overhead for directory construction and user overhead for reading the content could be high if the number of monitoring region is not small. This patchset implements DAMON sysfs files for efficient support of the use case. The first patch implements the sysfs file to reduce the user space overhead, and the second patch implements a command for reducing the kernel space overhead. The third patch adds a selftest for the new file, and following two patches update documents. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20230728201817.70602-1-sj@kernel.org/ This patch (of 5): The tried_regions directory can be used for retrieving the monitoring results snapshot for regions of specific access pattern, by setting the scheme's action as 'stat' and the access pattern as required. While the interface provides every detail of the monitoring results, some use cases including working set size monitoring requires only the total size of the regions. For such cases, users should read all the information and calculate the total size of the regions. However, it could incur high overhead if the number of regions is high. Add a file for retrieving only the information, namely 'total_bytes' file. It allows users to get the total size by reading only the file.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
