[PATCH v18 07/14] mm/damon: Implement access pattern recording

SeongJae Park
2020-07-13T08:45:00Z

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

This commit implements the recording feature of DAMON. If this feature
is enabled, DAMON writes the monitored access patterns in its binary
format into a file which specified by the user. This is already able to
be implemented by each user using the callbacks. However, as the
recording is expected to be widely used, this commit implements the
feature in the DAMON, for more convenience.
