[PATCH 0/5] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: implement DAMOS tried total bytes file

[SeongJae Park]

Changes from RFC[1]
- Rebase on latest mm-unstable
- Add base-commit

----

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.
