Author: SJ Park <sj@kernel.org>

mm/damon/core: s/damon_max_nr_accesses()/damon_nr_samples_per_aggr()/

This commit renames damon_max_nr_accesses() to damon_nr_samples_per_aggr()
to better describe that it returns the number of samples DAMON checks for
each region per aggregation interval.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but can this multiplication in
damon_accesses_bp_to_nr_accesses() overflow 32-bit arithmetic?

If the sample interval is configured to a small value and the aggregation
interval to a large value, damon_nr_samples_per_aggr() can return a large
number. Multiplying accesses_bp by this large number wraps around modulo
2^32 since both operands are 32-bit unsigned integers, resulting in an
incorrectly reduced access count.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does the use of mult_frac() in
damon_nr_accesses_to_accesses_bp() also suffer from a 32-bit overflow?

When nr_accesses is sufficiently large, the internal calculation in
mult_frac() overflows 32-bit arithmetic.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this calculation in
damon_lru_sort_apply_parameters() overflow on 32-bit architectures?

Multiplying the sample count by hot_thres_access_freq overflows 32-bit
arithmetic on 32-bit systems when the sample count is large.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but could this calculation in
damon_hot_score() result in a 32-bit overflow?

Multiplying r->nr_accesses by DAMON_MAX_SUBSCORE (which is 100) overflows
32-bit arithmetic if the number of samples is near UINT_MAX. This might
cause hot memory to be incorrectly identified as cold.
