[RFC v8 06/10] mm/damon: Implement callbacks for physical memory monitoring

SeongJae Park
2020-08-31T10:50:31Z

This commit implements the four callbacks (->init_target_regions,
->update_target_regions, ->prepare_access_check, and ->check_accesses)
for the basic access monitoring of the physical memory address space.
By setting the callback pointers to point those, users can easily
monitor the accesses to the physical memory.

Internally, it uses the PTE Accessed bit, as similar to that of the
virtual memory support. Also, it supports only user memory pages, as
idle page tracking also does, for the same reason. If the monitoring
target physical memory address range contains non-user memory pages,
access check of the pages will do nothing but simply treat the pages as
not accessed.

Users who want to use other access check primitives and/or monitor the
non-user memory regions could implement and use their own callbacks.
