Patch series "support fixed virtual address ranges monitoring".
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overhead
or distractions.
This patchset adds supports for the use case on DAMON's kernel API
(DAMON_OPS_FVADDR) and sysfs interface ('fvaddr' keyword for 'operations'
sysfs file).
This patch (of 3):
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overheads
or distractions.
For such cases, DAMON's API users can simply set the '->init()' and
'->update()' of the DAMON context's '->ops' NULL, and set the target
monitoring regions when creating the context. But, that would be a dirty
hack. Worse yet, the hack is unavailable for DAMON user space interface
users.
To support the use case in a clean way that can easily exported to the
user space, this commit adds another monitoring operations set called
'fvaddr', which is same to 'vaddr' but does not automatically update the
monitoring regions. Instead, it will only respect the virtual address
regions which have explicitly passed at the initial context creation.
Note that this commit leave sysfs interface not supporting the feature
yet. The support will be made in a following commit.
