Changes from Previous Version
=============================

- Drop loadable module support (Mike Rapoport)
- Select PAGE_EXTENSION if !64BIT for 'set_page_young()'
- Take care of the MMU notification subscribers (Shakeel Butt)
- Substitute 'struct damon_task' with 'struct damon_target' for better abstract
- Use 'struct pid' instead of 'pid_t' as the target (Shakeel Butt)
- Support pidfd from the debugfs interface (Shakeel Butt)
- Fix typos (Greg Thelen)
- Properly isolate DAMON from other pmd/pte Accessed bit users (Greg Thelen)
- Rebase on v5.8

Introduction
============

DAMON is a data access monitoring framework subsystem for the Linux kernel.
The core mechanisms of DAMON called 'region based sampling' and 'adaptive
regions adjustment' (refer to 'mechanisms.rst' in the 11th patch of this
patchset for the detail) make it

 - accurate (The monitored information is useful for DRAM level memory
   management. It might not appropriate for Cache-level accuracy, though.),
 - light-weight (The monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied online
   while making no impact on the performance of the target workloads.), and
 - scalable (the upper-bound of the instrumentation overhead is controllable
   regardless of the size of target workloads.).

Using this framework, therefore, the kernel's core memory management mechanisms
such as reclamation and THP can be optimized for better memory management.  The
experimental memory management optimization works that incurring high
instrumentation overhead will be able to have another try.  In user space,
meanwhile, users who have some special workloads will be able to write
personalized tools or applications for deeper understanding and specialized
optimizations of their systems.

Evaluations
===========

We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 25
realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine running a kernel that
v16 DAMON patchset is applied.

DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by only -0.25% and
consumes less than 1% CPU time in most case. It slows target workloads down by
only 0.94%.

DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, 'ethp', removes 31.29% of
THP memory overheads while preserving 60.64% of THP speedup. Another
experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl',
reduces 87.95% of residential sets and 29.52% of system memory footprint while
incurring only 2.15% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine).

NOTE that the experimentail THP optimization and proactive reclamation are not
for production, just only for proof of concepts.

Please refer to the official document[1] or "Documentation/admin-guide/mm: Add
a document for DAMON" patch in this patchset for detailed evaluation setup and
results.

More Information
================

We prepared a showcase web site[1] that you can get more information.  There
are

- the official documentations[2],
- the heatmap format dynamic access pattern of various realistic workloads for
  heap area[3], mmap()-ed area[4], and stack[5] area,
- the dynamic working set size distribution[6] and chronological working set
  size changes[7], and
- the latest performance test results[8].

Baseline and Complete Git Trees
===============================

The patches are based on the v5.8.  You can also clone the complete git
tree:

    $ git clone git://github.com/sjp38/linux -b damon/patches/v19

The web is also available:
https://github.com/sjp38/linux/releases/tag/damon/patches/v19

There are a couple of trees for entire DAMON patchset series.  It includes
future features.  The first one[1] contains the changes for latest release,
while the other one[2] contains the changes for next release.

Sequence Of Patches
===================

First four patches implement the target address space independent core logics
of DAMON and it's programming interface.  The 1st patch introduces DAMON
subsystem, it's data structures, and the data structure related basic
manipulation functions.  Following three patches (2nd to 4th) implements the
core mechanisms of DAMON, namely regions based sampling (patch 2), adaptive
regions adjustment (patch 3), and dynamic memory mapping change adoption (patch
4).

Now the essential parts of DAMON is complete but require low level primitives
to be implemented and configured with DAMON to just work.  The following two
patches makes it just work for virtual address spaces monitoring.  The 5th
patch makes 'PG_idle' could be used by DAMON and the 6th patch implements the
virtual memory address space specific low primitives using page table Accessed
bits and the 'PG_idle' page flag.

Now DAMON just works for virtual address space monitoring via the kernel space
api.  Following six patches adds interfaces for the users in the user space.
The 7th patch implements recording of access patterns in DAMON.  Each of next
two patches (8th and 9th) respectively adds a tracepoint for other tracepoints
supporting tracers such as perf, and a debugfs interface for privileged people
and/or programs in user space.  10th patch makes the debugfs interface further
support pidfd.  And, the 11th patch implements an user space tool to provide a
minimal reference to the debugfs interface and for high level use/tests of the
DAMON.

Three patches for maintainability follows.  The 12th patch adds documentations
for both the user space and the kernel space.  The 13th patch provides unit
tests (based on the kunit) while the 14th patch adds user space tests (based on
the kselftest).

Finally, the last patch (15th) updates the MAINTAINERS file.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

DAMON is a data access monitoring framework subsystem for the Linux
kernel.  The core mechanisms of DAMON make it

 - accurate (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level
   memory management; It might not appropriate for CPU Cache levels,
   though),
 - light-weight (the monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied
   online), and
 - scalable (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range
   regardless of the size of target workloads).

Using this framework, therefore, the kernel's memory management
mechanisms can make advanced decisions.  Experimental memory management
optimization works that incurring high data accesses monitoring overhead
could implemented again.  In user space, meanwhile, users who have some
special workloads can write personalized applications for better
understanding and optimizations of their workloads and systems.

This commit is implementing only the stub for the initialization, basic
data structures, and simple manipulation functions of the structures.
The core mechanisms of DAMON will be implemented by following commits.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

DAMON separates its monitoring target address space independent high
level logics from the target space dependent low level primitives for
flexible support of various address spaces.

This commit implements DAMON's target address space independent high
level logics for basic access check and region based sampling.  Hence,
without the target address space specific parts implementations, this
doesn't work alone.  A reference implementation of those will be
provided by a later commit.

Basic Access Check
==================

The output of DAMON says what pages are how frequently accessed for a
given duration.  The resolution of the access frequency is controlled by
setting ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``.  In detail,
DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval`` and
aggregates the results.  In other words, counts the number of the
accesses to each page.  After each ``aggregation interval`` passes,
DAMON calls callback functions that previously registered by users so
that users can read the aggregated results and then clears the results.
This can be described in below simple pseudo-code::

    while monitoring_on:
        for page in monitoring_target:
            if accessed(page):
                nr_accesses[page] += 1
        if time() % aggregation_interval == 0:
            for callback in user_registered_callbacks:
                callback(monitoring_target, nr_accesses)
            for page in monitoring_target:
                nr_accesses[page] = 0
        sleep(sampling interval)

The monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as
the size of the target workload grows.

Region Based Sampling
=====================

To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups adjacent
pages that assumed to have the same access frequencies into a region.
As long as the assumption (pages in a region have the same access
frequencies) is kept, only one page in the region is required to be
checked.  Thus, for each ``sampling interval``, DAMON randomly picks one
page in each region, waits for one ``sampling interval``, checks whether
the page is accessed meanwhile, and increases the access frequency of
the region if so.  Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by
setting the number of regions.  DAMON allows users to set the minimum
and the maximum number of regions for the trade-off.

This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
assumption is not guaranteed.  Next commit will address this problem.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

Even somehow the initial monitoring target regions are well constructed
to fulfill the assumption (pages in same region have similar access
frequencies), the data access pattern can be dynamically changed.  This
will result in low monitoring quality.  To keep the assumption as much
as possible, DAMON adaptively merges and splits each region based on
their access frequency.

For each ``aggregation interval``, it compares the access frequencies of
adjacent regions and merges those if the frequency difference is small.
Then, after it reports and clears the aggregated access frequency of
each region, it splits each region into two or three regions if the
total number of regions will not exceed the user-specified maximum
number of regions after the split.

In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead
while keeping the upper-bound overhead that users set.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

The monitoring target address range can be dynamically changed.  For
example, virtual memory could be dynamically mapped and unmapped.
Physical memory could be hot-plugged.

As the changes could be quite frequent in some cases, DAMON checks the
dynamic memory mapping changes and applies it to the abstracted target
area only for each of a user-specified time interval, ``regions update
interval``.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

PG_idle and PG_young allows the two PTE Accessed bit users,
IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and the reclaim logic concurrently work while don't
interfere each other.  That is, when they need to clear the Accessed
bit, they set PG_young and PG_idle to represent the previous state of
the bit, respectively.  And when they need to read the bit, if the bit
is cleared, they further read the PG_young and PG_idle, respectively, to
know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile or not.

We could add another page flag and extend the mechanism to use the flag
if we need to add another concurrent PTE Accessed bit user subsystem.
However, it would be only waste the space.  Instead, if the new
subsystem is mutually exclusive with IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING, it could simply
reuse the PG_idle flag.  However, it's impossible because the flags are
dependent on IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING.

To allow such reuse of the flags, this commit separates the PG_young and
PG_idle flag logic from IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and introduces new kernel
config, 'PAGE_IDLE_FLAG'.  Hence, if !IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and
IDLE_PAGE_FLAG, a new subsystem would be able to reuse PG_idle.

In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual
memory address space monitoring primitives will use it.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

This commit introduces a reference implementation of the address space
specific low level primitives for the virtual address space, so that
users of DAMON can easily monitor the data accesses on virtual address
spaces of specific processes by simply configuring the implementation to
be used by DAMON.

The low level primitives for the fundamental access monitoring are
defined in two parts:
1. Identification of the monitoring target address range for the address
space.
2. Access check of specific address range in the target space.

The reference implementation for the virtual address space provided by
this commit is designed as below.

PTE Accessed-bit Based Access Check
-----------------------------------

The implementation uses PTE Accessed-bit for basic access checks.  That
is, it clears the bit for next sampling target page and checks whether
it set again after one sampling period.  This could disturb other kernel
subsystems using the Accessed bits, namely Idle page tracking and the
reclaim logic.  To avoid such disturbances, DAMON makes it mutually
exclusive with Idle page tracking and uses ``PG_idle`` and ``PG_young``
page flags to solve the conflict with the reclaim logics, as Idle page
tracking does.

VMA-based Target Address Range Construction
-------------------------------------------

Only small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the
processes are mapped to physical memory and accessed.  Thus, tracking
the unmapped address regions is just wasteful.  However, because DAMON
can deal with some level of noise using the adaptive regions adjustment
mechanism, tracking every mapping is not strictly required but could
even incur a high overhead in some cases.  That said, too huge unmapped
areas inside the monitoring target should be removed to not take the
time for the adaptive mechanism.

For the reason, this implementation converts the complex mappings to
three distinct regions that cover every mapped area of the address
space.  Also, the two gaps between the three regions are the two biggest
unmapped areas in the given address space.  The two biggest unmapped
areas would be the gap between the heap and the uppermost mmap()-ed
region, and the gap between the lowermost mmap()-ed region and the stack
in most of the cases.  Because these gaps are exceptionally huge in
usual address spacees, excluding these will be sufficient to make a
reasonable trade-off.  Below shows this in detail::

    <heap>
    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 1>
    <uppermost mmap()-ed region>
    (small mmap()-ed regions and munmap()-ed regions)
    <lowermost mmap()-ed region>
    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 2>
    <stack>

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.

This commit adds a tracepoint for DAMON.  It traces the monitoring
results of each region for each aggregation interval.  Using this, DAMON
can easily integrated with tracepoints supporting tools such as perf.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

This commit implements a debugfs interface for DAMON.  It works for the
virtual address spaces monitoring.

DAMON exports four files, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``, ``record``, and
``monitor_on`` under its debugfs directory, ``<debugfs>/damon/``.

Attributes
----------

Users can read and write the ``sampling interval``, ``aggregation
interval``, ``regions update interval``, and min/max number of
monitoring target regions by reading from and writing to the ``attrs``
file.  For example, below commands set those values to 5 ms, 100 ms,
1,000 ms, 10, 1000 and check it again::

    # cd <debugfs>/damon
    # echo 5000 100000 1000000 10 1000 > attrs
    # cat attrs
    5000 100000 1000000 10 1000

Target IDs
----------

Some types of address spaces supports multiple monitoring target.  For
example, the virtual memory address spaces monitoring can have multiple
processes as the monitoring targets.  Users can set the targets by
writing relevant id values of the targets to, and get the ids of the
current targets by reading from the ``target_ids`` file.  In case of the
virtual address spaces monitoring, the values should be pids of the
monitoring target processes.  For example, below commands set processes
having pids 42 and 4242 as the monitoring targets and check it again::

    # cd <debugfs>/damon
    # echo 42 4242 > target_ids
    # cat target_ids
    42 4242

Note that setting the target ids doesn't start the monitoring.

Record
------

DAMON supports direct monitoring result record feature.  The recorded
results are first written to a buffer and flushed to a file in batch.
Users can set the size of the buffer and the path to the result file by
reading from and writing to the ``record`` file.  For example, below
commands set the buffer to be 4 KiB and the result to be saved in
'/damon.data'.

    # cd <debugfs>/damon
    # echo 4096 /damon.data > record
    # cat record
    4096 /damon.data

Turning On/Off
--------------

Setting the files as described above doesn't incur effect unless you
explicitly start the monitoring.  You can start, stop, and check the
current status of the monitoring by writing to and reading from the
``monitor_on`` file.  Writing ``on`` to the file starts the monitoring
of the targets with the attributes.  Writing ``off`` to the file stops
those.  DAMON also stops if every targets are invalidated (in case of
the virtual memory monitoring, target processes are invalidated when
terminated).  Below example commands turn on, off, and check the status
of DAMON::

    # cd <debugfs>/damon
    # echo on > monitor_on
    # echo off > monitor_on
    # cat monitor_on
    off

Please note that you cannot write to the above-mentioned debugfs files
while the monitoring is turned on.  If you write to the files while
DAMON is running, an error code such as ``-EBUSY`` will be returned.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

DAMON programming interface users are safe from pid recycling problem
since it uses 'struct pid *' as target id.  However, debugfs interface
users might still get the problem since they should describe the target
ids with pid numbers.

This commit makes the debugfs interface to support pidfd target ids.
Using it, debugfs interface users can also easily be safe from the
races.  That said, the pid numbers are stil supported for the simple
command line uses.

The pid numbers target ids usages are same to the old one.  Therefore,
old users don't need to change anything.  To use pidfd target ids, users
should add a prefix, 'pidfd ' in front of the numbers.  Because pidfd is
process private, reading 'target_ids' file again will show pid numbers
of the target processes.

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

This commit imtroduces a shallow wrapper python script,
``/tools/damon/damo`` that provides more convenient interface.  Note
that it is only aimed to be used for minimal reference of the DAMON's
debugfs interfaces and for debugging of the DAMON itself.

+==================
+Optimization Guide
+==================
+
+This document helps you estimating the amount of benefit that you could get
+from DAMON-based optimizations, and describes how you could achieve it.  You
+are assumed to already read :doc:`start`.
+
+
+Check The Signs
+===============
+
+No optimization can provide same extent of benefit to every case.  Therefore
+you should first guess how much improvements you could get using DAMON.  If
+some of below conditions match your situation, you could consider using DAMON.
+
+- *Low IPC and High Cache Miss Ratios.*  Low IPC means most of the CPU time is
+  spent waiting for the completion of time-consuming operations such as memory
+  access, while high cache miss ratios mean the caches don't help it well.
+  DAMON is not for cache level optimization, but DRAM level.  However,
+  improving DRAM management will also help this case by reducing the memory
+  operation latency.
+- *Memory Over-commitment and Unknown Users.*  If you are doing memory
+  overcommitment and you cannot control every user of your system, a memory
+  bank run could happen at any time.  You can estimate when it will happen
+  based on DAMON's monitoring results and act earlier to avoid or deal better
+  with the crisis.
+- *Frequent Memory Pressure.*  Frequent memory pressure means your system has
+  wrong configurations or memory hogs.  DAMON will help you find the right
+  configuration and/or the criminals.
+- *Heterogeneous Memory System.*  If your system is utilizing memory devices
+  that placed between DRAM and traditional hard disks, such as non-volatile
+  memory or fast SSDs, DAMON could help you utilizing the devices more
+  efficiently.
+
+
+Profile
+=======
+
+If you found some positive signals, you could start by profiling your workloads
+using DAMON.  Find major workloads on your systems and analyze their data
+access pattern to find something wrong or can be improved.  The DAMON user
+space tool (``damo``) will be useful for this.
+
+We recommend you to start from working set size distribution check using ``damo
+report wss``.  If the distribution is ununiform or quite different from what
+you estimated, you could consider `Memory Configuration`_ optimization.
+
+Then, review the overall access pattern in heatmap form using ``damo report
+heats``.  If it shows a simple pattern consists of a small number of memory
+regions having high contrast of access temperature, you could consider manual
+`Program Modification`_.
+
+If you still want to absorb more benefits, you should develop `Personalized
+DAMON Application`_ for your special case.
+
+You don't need to take only one approach among the above plans, but you could
+use multiple of the above approaches to maximize the benefit.
+
+
+Optimize
+========
+
+If the profiling result also says it's worth trying some optimization, you
+could consider below approaches.  Note that some of the below approaches assume
+that your systems are configured with swap devices or other types of auxiliary
+memory so that you don't strictly required to accommodate the whole working set
+in the main memory.  Most of the detailed optimization should be made on your
+concrete understanding of your memory devices.
+
+
+Memory Configuration
+--------------------
+
+No more no less, DRAM should be large enough to accommodate only important
+working sets, because DRAM is highly performance critical but expensive and
+heavily consumes the power.  However, knowing the size of the real important
+working sets is difficult.  As a consequence, people usually equips
+unnecessarily large or too small DRAM.  Many problems stem from such wrong
+configurations.
+
+Using the working set size distribution report provided by ``damo report wss``,
+you can know the appropriate DRAM size for you.  For example, roughly speaking,
+if you worry about only 95 percentile latency, you don't need to equip DRAM of
+a size larger than 95 percentile working set size.
+
+Let's see a real example.  This `page
+<https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/v17/admin-guide/mm/damon/guide.html#memory-configuration>`_
+shows the heatmap and the working set size distributions/changes of
+``freqmine`` workload in PARSEC3 benchmark suite.  The working set size spikes
+up to 180 MiB, but keeps smaller than 50 MiB for more than 95% of the time.
+Even though you give only 50 MiB of memory space to the workload, it will work
+well for 95% of the time.  Meanwhile, you can save the 130 MiB of memory space.
+
+
+Program Modification
+--------------------
+
+If the data access pattern heatmap plotted by ``damo report heats`` is quite
+simple so that you can understand how the things are going in the workload with
+your human eye, you could manually optimize the memory management.
+
+For example, suppose that the workload has two big memory object but only one
+object is frequently accessed while the other one is only occasionally
+accessed.  Then, you could modify the program source code to keep the hot
+object in the main memory by invoking ``mlock()`` or ``madvise()`` with
+``MADV_WILLNEED``.  Or, you could proactively evict the cold object using
+``madvise()`` with ``MADV_COLD`` or ``MADV_PAGEOUT``.  Using both together
+would be also worthy.
+
+A research work [1]_ using the ``mlock()`` achieved up to 2.55x performance
+speedup.
+
+Let's see another realistic example access pattern for this kind of
+optimizations.  This `page
+<https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/v17/admin-guide/mm/damon/guide.html#program-modification>`_
+shows the visualized access patterns of streamcluster workload in PARSEC3
+benchmark suite.  We can easily identify the 100 MiB sized hot object.
+
+
+Personalized DAMON Application
+------------------------------
+
+Above approaches will work well for many general cases, but would not enough
+for some special cases.
+
+If this is the case, it might be the time to forget the comfortable use of the
+user space tool and dive into the debugfs interface (refer to :doc:`usage` for
+the detail) of DAMON.  Using the interface, you can control the DAMON more
+flexibly.  Therefore, you can write your personalized DAMON application that
+controls the monitoring via the debugfs interface, analyzes the result, and
+applies complex optimizations itself.  Using this, you can make more creative
+and wise optimizations.
+
+If you are a kernel space programmer, writing kernel space DAMON applications
+using the API (refer to the :doc:`/vm/damon/api` for more detail) would be an
+option.
+
+
+Reference Practices
+===================
+
+Referencing previously done successful practices could help you getting the
+sense for this kind of optimizations.  There is an academic paper [1]_
+reporting the visualized access pattern and manual `Program
+Modification`_ results for a number of realistic workloads.  You can also get
+the visualized access patterns [3]_ [4]_ [5]_ and automated DAMON-based memory
+operations results for other realistic workloads that collected with latest
+version of DAMON [2]_ .

+Future Plans
+============
+
+DAMON is still on its first stage.  Below plans are still under development.
+
+
+Automate Data Access Monitoring-based Memory Operation Schemes Execution
+========================================================================
+
+The ultimate goal of DAMON is to be used as a building block for the data
+access pattern aware kernel memory management optimization.  It will make
+system just works efficiently.  However, some users having very special
+workloads will want to further do their own optimization.  DAMON will automate
+most of the tasks for such manual optimizations in near future.  Users will be
+required to only describe what kind of data access pattern-based operation
+schemes they want in a simple form.
+
+By applying a very simple scheme for THP promotion/demotion with a prototype
+implementation, DAMON reduced 60% of THP memory footprint overhead while
+preserving 50% of the THP performance benefit.  The detailed results can be
+seen on an external web page [1]_.
+
+Several RFC patchsets for this plan are available [2]_.

+===============
+Getting Started
+===============
+
+This document briefly describes how you can use DAMON by demonstrating its
+default user space tool.  Please note that this document describes only a part
+of its features for brevity.  Please refer to :doc:`usage` for more details.
+
+
+TL; DR
+======
+
+Follow below 5 commands to monitor and visualize the access pattern of your
+workload. ::
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/sjp38/linux -b damon/master
+    /* build the kernel with CONFIG_DAMON=y, install, reboot */
+    $ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
+    $ cd linux/tools/damon
+    $ ./damo record $(pidof <your workload>)
+    $ ./damo report heats --heatmap access_pattern.png
+
+
+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Kernel
+------
+
+You should first ensure your system is running on a kernel built with
+``CONFIG_DAMON=y``.
+
+
+User Space Tool
+---------------
+
+For the demonstration, we will use the default user space tool for DAMON,
+called DAMON Operator (DAMO).  It is located at ``tools/damon/damo`` of the
+kernel source tree.  For brevity, below examples assume you set ``$PATH`` to
+point it.  It's not mandatory, though.
+
+Because DAMO is using the debugfs interface (refer to :doc:`usage` for the
+detail) of DAMON, you should ensure debugfs is mounted.  Mount it manually as
+below::
+
+    # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
+
+or append below line to your ``/etc/fstab`` file so that your system can
+automatically mount debugfs from next booting::
+
+    debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs defaults 0 0
+
+
+Recording Data Access Patterns
+==============================
+
+Below commands record memory access pattern of a program and save the
+monitoring results in a file. ::
+
+    $ git clone https://github.com/sjp38/masim
+    $ cd masim; make; ./masim ./configs/zigzag.cfg &
+    $ sudo damo record -o damon.data $(pidof masim)
+
+The first two lines of the commands get an artificial memory access generator
+program and runs it in the background.  It will repeatedly access two 100 MiB
+sized memory regions one by one.  You can substitute this with your real
+workload.  The last line asks ``damo`` to record the access pattern in
+``damon.data`` file.
+
+
+Visualizing Recorded Patterns
+=============================
+
+Below three commands visualize the recorded access patterns into three
+image files. ::
+
+    $ damo report heats --heatmap access_pattern_heatmap.png
+    $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --plot wss_dist.png
+    $ damo report wss --range 0 101 1 --sortby time --plot wss_chron_change.png
+
+- ``access_pattern_heatmap.png`` will show the data access pattern in a
+  heatmap, which shows when (x-axis) what memory region (y-axis) is how
+  frequently accessed (color).
+- ``wss_dist.png`` will show the distribution of the working set size.
+- ``wss_chron_change.png`` will show how the working set size has
+  chronologically changed.
+
+You can show the images in a web page [1]_ .  Those made with other realistic
+workloads are also available [2]_ [3]_ [4]_.

+Detailed Usages
+===============
+
+DAMON provides below three interfaces for different users.
+
+- *DAMON user space tool.*
+  This is for privileged people such as system administrators who want a
+  just-working human-friendly interface.  Using this, users can use the DAMON’s
+  major features in a human-friendly way.  It may not be highly tuned for
+  special cases, though.  It supports only virtual address spaces monitoring.
+- *debugfs interface.*
+  This is for privileged user space programmers who want more optimized use of
+  DAMON.  Using this, users can use DAMON’s major features by reading
+  from and writing to special debugfs files.  Therefore, you can write and use
+  your personalized DAMON debugfs wrapper programs that reads/writes the
+  debugfs files instead of you.  The DAMON user space tool is also a reference
+  implementation of such programs.  It supports only virtual address spaces
+  monitoring.
+- *Kernel Space Programming Interface.*
+  This is for kernel space programmers.  Using this, users can utilize every
+  feature of DAMON most flexibly and efficiently by writing kernel space
+  DAMON application programs for you.  You can even extend DAMON for various
+  address spaces.
+
+This document does not describe the kernel space programming interface in
+detail.  For that, please refer to the :doc:`/vm/damon/api`.
+
+
+DAMON User Space Tool
+=====================
+
+A reference implementation of the DAMON user space tools which provides a
+convenient user interface is in the kernel source tree.  It is located at
+``tools/damon/damo`` of the tree.
+
+The tool provides a subcommands based interface.  Every subcommand provides
+``-h`` option, which provides the minimal usage of it.  Currently, the tool
+supports two subcommands, ``record`` and ``report``.
+
+Below example commands assume you set ``$PATH`` to point ``tools/damon/`` for
+brevity.  It is not mandatory for use of ``damo``, though.
+
+
+Recording Data Access Pattern
+-----------------------------
+
+The ``record`` subcommand records the data access pattern of target workloads
+in a file (``./damon.data`` by default).  You can specify the target with 1)
+the command for execution of the monitoring target process, or 2) pid of
+running target process.  Below example shows a command target usage::
+
+    # cd <kernel>/tools/damon/
+    # damo record "sleep 5"
+
+The tool will execute ``sleep 5`` by itself and record the data access patterns
+of the process.  Below example shows a pid target usage::
+
+    # sleep 5 &
+    # damo record `pidof sleep`
+
+The location of the recorded file can be explicitly set using ``-o`` option.
+You can further tune this by setting the monitoring attributes.  To know about
+the monitoring attributes in detail, please refer to the
+:doc:`/vm/damon/design`.
+
+
+Analyzing Data Access Pattern
+-----------------------------
+
+The ``report`` subcommand reads a data access pattern record file (if not
+explicitly specified using ``-i`` option, reads ``./damon.data`` file by
+default) and generates human-readable reports.  You can specify what type of
+report you want using a sub-subcommand to ``report`` subcommand.  ``raw``,
+``heats``, and ``wss`` report types are supported for now.
+
+
+raw
+~~~
+
+``raw`` sub-subcommand simply transforms the binary record into a
+human-readable text.  For example::
+
+    $ damo report raw
+    start_time:  193485829398
+    rel time:                0

+The first line shows the recording started timestamp (nanosecond).  Records of
+data access patterns follows.  Each record is separated by a blank line.  Each
+record first specifies the recorded time (``rel time``) in relative to the
+start time, the number of monitored tasks in this record (``nr_tasks``).
+Recorded data access patterns of each task follow.  Each data access pattern
+for each task shows the target's pid (``target_id``) and a number of monitored
+address regions in this access pattern (``nr_regions``) first.  After that,
+each line shows the start/end address, size, and the number of observed
+accesses of each region.
+
+
+heats
+~~~~~
+
+The ``raw`` output is very detailed but hard to manually read.  ``heats``
+sub-subcommand plots the data in 3-dimensional form, which represents the time
+in x-axis, address of regions in y-axis, and the access frequency in z-axis.
+Users can set the resolution of the map (``--tres`` and ``--ares``) and
+start/end point of each axis (``--tmin``, ``--tmax``, ``--amin``, and
+``--amax``) via optional arguments.  For example::
+
+    $ damo report heats --tres 3 --ares 3
+    0               0               0.0
+    0               7609002         0.0
+    0               15218004        0.0
+    66112620851     0               0.0
+    66112620851     7609002         0.0
+    66112620851     15218004        0.0
+    132225241702    0               0.0
+    132225241702    7609002         0.0
+    132225241702    15218004        0.0
+
+This command shows a recorded access pattern in heatmap of 3x3 resolution.
+Therefore it shows 9 data points in total.  Each line shows each of the data
+points.  The three numbers in each line represent time in nanosecond, address,
+and the observed access frequency.
+
+Users will be able to convert this text output into a heatmap image (represents
+z-axis values with colors) or other 3D representations using various tools such
+as 'gnuplot'.  For more convenience, ``heats`` sub-subcommand provides the
+'gnuplot' based heatmap image creation.  For this, you can use ``--heatmap``
+option.  Also, note that because it uses 'gnuplot' internally, it will fail if
+'gnuplot' is not installed on your system.  For example::
+
+    $ ./damo report heats --heatmap heatmap.png
+
+Creates the heatmap image in ``heatmap.png`` file.  It supports ``pdf``,
+``png``, ``jpeg``, and ``svg``.
+
+If the target address space is virtual memory address space and you plot the
+entire address space, the huge unmapped regions will make the picture looks
+only black.  Therefore you should do proper zoom in / zoom out using the
+resolution and axis boundary-setting arguments.  To make this effort minimal,
+you can use ``--guide`` option as below::
+
+    $ ./damo report heats --guide
+    target_id:1348
+    time: 193485829398-198337863555 (4852034157)
+    region   0: 00000094564599762944-00000094564622589952 (22827008)
+    region   1: 00000140454009610240-00000140454016012288 (6402048)
+    region   2: 00000140731597193216-00000140731597443072 (249856)
+
+The output shows unions of monitored regions (start and end addresses in byte)
+and the union of monitored time duration (start and end time in nanoseconds) of
+each target task.  Therefore, it would be wise to plot the data points in each
+union.  If no axis boundary option is given, it will automatically find the
+biggest union in ``--guide`` output and set the boundary in it.
+
+
+wss
+~~~
+
+The ``wss`` type extracts the distribution and chronological working set size
+changes from the records.  For example::
+
+    $ ./damo report wss
+    # <percentile> <wss>
+    # target_id   1348
+    # avr:  66228
+    0       0
+    25      0
+    50      0
+    75      0
+    100     1920615
+
+Without any option, it shows the distribution of the working set sizes as
+above.  It shows 0th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentile and the average of
+the measured working set sizes in the access pattern records.  In this case,
+the working set size was zero for 75th percentile but 1,920,615 bytes in max
+and 66,228 bytes on average.
+
+By setting the sort key of the percentile using '--sortby', you can show how
+the working set size has chronologically changed.  For example::
+
+    $ ./damo report wss --sortby time
+    # <percentile> <wss>
+    # target_id   1348
+    # avr:  66228
+    0       0
+    25      0
+    50      0
+    75      0
+    100     0
+
+The average is still 66,228.  And, because the access was spiked in very short
+duration and this command plots only 4 data points, we cannot show when the
+access spikes made.  Users can specify the resolution of the distribution
+(``--range``).  By giving more fine resolution, the short duration spikes could
+be found.
+
+Similar to that of ``heats --heatmap``, it also supports 'gnuplot' based simple
+visualization of the distribution via ``--plot`` option.
+
+
+debugfs Interface
+=================
+
+DAMON exports four files, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``, ``record``, and
+``monitor_on`` under its debugfs directory, ``<debugfs>/damon/``.
+
+
+Attributes
+----------
+
+Users can get and set the ``sampling interval``, ``aggregation interval``,
+``regions update interval``, and min/max number of monitoring target regions by
+reading from and writing to the ``attrs`` file.  To know about the monitoring
+attributes in detail, please refer to the :doc:`/vm/damon/design`.  For
+example, below commands set those values to 5 ms, 100 ms, 1,000 ms, 10 and
+1000, and then check it again::
+
+    # cd <debugfs>/damon
+    # echo 5000 100000 1000000 10 1000 > attrs
+    # cat attrs
+    5000 100000 1000000 10 1000
+
+
+Target IDs
+----------
+
+Some types of address spaces supports multiple monitoring target.  For example,
+the virtual memory address spaces monitoring can have multiple processes as the
+monitoring targets.  Users can set the targets by writing relevant id values of
+the targets to, and get the ids of the current targets by reading from the
+``target_ids`` file.  In case of the virtual address spaces monitoring, the
+values should be pids of the monitoring target processes.  For example, below
+commands set processes having pids 42 and 4242 as the monitoring targets and
+check it again::
+
+    # cd <debugfs>/damon
+    # echo 42 4242 > target_ids
+    # cat target_ids
+    42 4242
+
+Note that setting the target ids doesn't start the monitoring.
+
+
+Record
+------
+
+This debugfs file allows you to record monitored access patterns in a regular
+binary file.  The recorded results are first written in an in-memory buffer and
+flushed to a file in batch.  Users can get and set the size of the buffer and
+the path to the result file by reading from and writing to the ``record`` file.
+For example, below commands set the buffer to be 4 KiB and the result to be
+saved in ``/damon.data``. ::
+
+    # cd <debugfs>/damon
+    # echo "4096 /damon.data" > record
+    # cat record
+    4096 /damon.data
+
+The recording can be disabled by setting the buffer size zero.
+
+
+Turning On/Off
+--------------
+
+Setting the files as described above doesn't incur effect unless you explicitly
+start the monitoring.  You can start, stop, and check the current status of the
+monitoring by writing to and reading from the ``monitor_on`` file.  Writing
+``on`` to the file starts the monitoring of the targets with the attributes.
+Writing ``off`` to the file stops those.  DAMON also stops if every target
+process is terminated.  Below example commands turn on, off, and check the
+status of DAMON::
+
+    # cd <debugfs>/damon
+    # echo on > monitor_on
+    # echo off > monitor_on
+    # cat monitor_on
+    off
+
+Please note that you cannot write to the above-mentioned debugfs files while
+the monitoring is turned on.  If you write to the files while DAMON is running,
+an error code such as ``-EBUSY`` will be returned.

+Design
+======
+
+Configurable Layers
+===================
+
+DAMON provides data access monitoring functionality while making the accuracy
+and the overhead controllable.  The fundamental access monitorings require
+primitives that dependent on and optimized for the target address space.  On
+the other hand, the accuracy and overhead tradeoff mechanism, which is the core
+of DAMON, is in the pure logic space.  DAMON separates the two parts in
+different layers and defines its interface to allow various low level
+primitives implementations configurable with the core logic.
+
+Due to this separated design and the configurable interface, users can extend
+DAMON for any address space by configuring the core logics with appropriate low
+level primitive implementations.  If appropriate one is not provided, users can
+implement the primitives on their own.
+
+For example, physical memory, virtual memory, swap space, those for specific
+processes, NUMA nodes, files, and backing memory devices would be supportable.
+Also, if some architectures or devices support special optimized access check
+primitives, those will be easily configurable.
+
+
+Reference Implementations of Address Space Specific Primitives
+==============================================================
+
+The low level primitives for the fundamental access monitoring are defined in
+two parts:
+
+1. Identification of the monitoring target address range for the address space.
+2. Access check of specific address range in the target space.
+
+DAMON currently provides the implementation of the primitives for only the
+virtual address spaces. Below two subsections describe how it works.
+
+
+PTE Accessed-bit Based Access Check
+-----------------------------------
+
+The implementation for the virtual address space uses PTE Accessed-bit for
+basic access checks.  It finds the relevant PTE Accessed bit from the address
+by walking the page table for the target task of the address.  In this way, the
+implementation finds and clears the bit for next sampling target address and
+checks whether the bit set again after one sampling period.  This could disturb
+other kernel subsystems using the Accessed bits, namely Idle page tracking and
+the reclaim logic.  To avoid such disturbances, DAMON makes it mutually
+exclusive with Idle page tracking and uses ``PG_idle`` and ``PG_young`` page
+flags to solve the conflict with the reclaim logic, as Idle page tracking does.
+
+
+VMA-based Target Address Range Construction
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Only small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the processes are
+mapped to the physical memory and accessed.  Thus, tracking the unmapped
+address regions is just wasteful.  However, because DAMON can deal with some
+level of noise using the adaptive regions adjustment mechanism, tracking every
+mapping is not strictly required but could even incur a high overhead in some
+cases.  That said, too huge unmapped areas inside the monitoring target should
+be removed to not take the time for the adaptive mechanism.
+
+For the reason, this implementation converts the complex mappings to three
+distinct regions that cover every mapped area of the address space.  The two
+gaps between the three regions are the two biggest unmapped areas in the given
+address space.  The two biggest unmapped areas would be the gap between the
+heap and the uppermost mmap()-ed region, and the gap between the lowermost
+mmap()-ed region and the stack in most of the cases.  Because these gaps are
+exceptionally huge in usual address spaces, excluding these will be sufficient
+to make a reasonable trade-off.  Below shows this in detail::
+
+    <heap>
+    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 1>
+    <uppermost mmap()-ed region>
+    (small mmap()-ed regions and munmap()-ed regions)
+    <lowermost mmap()-ed region>
+    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 2>
+    <stack>
+
+
+Address Space Independent Core Mechanisms
+=========================================
+
+Below four sections describe each of the DAMON core mechanisms and the five
+monitoring attributes, ``sampling interval``, ``aggregation interval``,
+``regions update interval``, ``minimum number of regions``, and ``maximum
+number of regions``.
+
+
+Access Frequency Monitoring
+---------------------------
+
+The output of DAMON says what pages are how frequently accessed for a given
+duration.  The resolution of the access frequency is controlled by setting
+``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``.  In detail, DAMON checks
+access to each page per ``sampling interval`` and aggregates the results.  In
+other words, counts the number of the accesses to each page.  After each
+``aggregation interval`` passes, DAMON calls callback functions that previously
+registered by users so that users can read the aggregated results and then
+clears the results.  This can be described in below simple pseudo-code::
+
+    while monitoring_on:
+        for page in monitoring_target:
+            if accessed(page):
+                nr_accesses[page] += 1
+        if time() % aggregation_interval == 0:
+            for callback in user_registered_callbacks:
+                callback(monitoring_target, nr_accesses)
+            for page in monitoring_target:
+                nr_accesses[page] = 0
+        sleep(sampling interval)
+
+The monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as the
+size of the target workload grows.
+
+
+Region Based Sampling
+---------------------
+
+To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups adjacent pages
+that assumed to have the same access frequencies into a region.  As long as the
+assumption (pages in a region have the same access frequencies) is kept, only
+one page in the region is required to be checked.  Thus, for each ``sampling
+interval``, DAMON randomly picks one page in each region, waits for one
+``sampling interval``, checks whether the page is accessed meanwhile, and
+increases the access frequency of the region if so.  Therefore, the monitoring
+overhead is controllable by setting the number of regions.  DAMON allows users
+to set the minimum and the maximum number of regions for the trade-off.
+
+This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
+assumption is not guaranteed.
+
+
+Adaptive Regions Adjustment
+---------------------------
+
+Even somehow the initial monitoring target regions are well constructed to
+fulfill the assumption (pages in same region have similar access frequencies),
+the data access pattern can be dynamically changed.  This will result in low
+monitoring quality.  To keep the assumption as much as possible, DAMON
+adaptively merges and splits each region based on their access frequency.
+
+For each ``aggregation interval``, it compares the access frequencies of
+adjacent regions and merges those if the frequency difference is small.  Then,
+after it reports and clears the aggregated access frequency of each region, it
+splits each region into two or three regions if the total number of regions
+will not exceed the user-specified maximum number of regions after the split.
+
+In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead while
+keeping the bounds users set for their trade-off.
+
+
+Dynamic Target Space Updates Handling
+-------------------------------------
+
+The monitoring target address range could dynamically changed.  For example,
+virtual memory could be dynamically mapped and unmapped.  Physical memory could
+be hot-plugged.
+
+As the changes could be quite frequent in some cases, DAMON checks the dynamic
+memory mapping changes and applies it to the abstracted target area only for
+each of a user-specified time interval (``regions update interval``).

+==========
+Evaluation
+==========
+
+DAMON is lightweight.  It increases system memory usage by only -0.25% and
+consumes less than 1% CPU time in most case.  It slows target workloads down by
+only 0.94%.
+
+DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations.  An
+experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, 'ethp', removes 31.29% of
+THP memory overheads while preserving 60.64% of THP speedup.  Another
+experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl',
+reduces 87.95% of residential sets and 29.52% of system memory footprint while
+incurring only 2.15% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine).
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+On a QEMU/KVM based virtual machine utilizing 20GB of RAM and hosted by an
+Intel i7 machine that running a kernel that v16 DAMON patchset is applied, I
+measure runtime and consumed system memory while running various realistic
+workloads with several configurations.  I use 13 and 12 workloads in PARSEC3
+[3]_ and SPLASH-2X [4]_ benchmark suites, respectively.  I use another wrapper
+scripts [5]_ for convenient setup and run of the workloads.
+
+Measurement
+-----------
+
+For the measurement of the amount of consumed memory in system global scope, I
+drop caches before starting each of the workloads and monitor 'MemFree' in the
+'/proc/meminfo' file.  To make results more stable, I repeat the runs 5 times
+and average results.
+
+Configurations
+--------------
+
+The configurations I use are as below.
+
+- orig: Linux v5.7 with 'madvise' THP policy
+- rec: 'orig' plus DAMON running with virtual memory access recording
+- prec: 'orig' plus DAMON running with physical memory access recording
+- thp: same with 'orig', but use 'always' THP policy
+- ethp: 'orig' plus a DAMON operation scheme, 'efficient THP'
+- prcl: 'orig' plus a DAMON operation scheme, 'proactive reclaim [6]_'
+
+I use 'rec' for measurement of DAMON overheads to target workloads and system
+memory.  'prec' is for physical memory monitroing and recording.  It monitors
+17GB sized 'System RAM' region.  The remaining configs including 'thp', 'ethp',
+and 'prcl' are for measurement of DAMON monitoring accuracy.
+
+'ethp' and 'prcl' are simple DAMON-based operation schemes developed for
+proof of concepts of DAMON.  'ethp' reduces memory space waste of THP by using
+DAMON for the decision of promotions and demotion for huge pages, while 'prcl'
+is as similar as the original work.  Those are implemented as below::
+
+    # format: <min/max size> <min/max frequency (0-100)> <min/max age> <action>
+    # ethp: Use huge pages if a region shows >=5% access rate, use regular
+    # pages if a region >=2MB shows <5% access rate for >=13 seconds
+    null    null    5       null    null    null    hugepage
+    2M      null    null    null    13s     null    nohugepage
+
+    # prcl: If a region >=4KB shows <=5% access rate for >=7 seconds, page out.
+    4K null    null 5    7s null      pageout
+
+Note that both 'ethp' and 'prcl' are designed with my only straightforward
+intuition because those are for only proof of concepts and monitoring accuracy
+of DAMON.  In other words, those are not for production.  For production use,
+those should be more tuned.

+DAMON Overheads
+---------------
+
+In total, DAMON virtual memory access recording feature ('rec') incurs 0.94%
+runtime overhead and -0.25% memory space overhead.  Even though the size of the
+monitoring target region becomes much larger with the physical memory access
+recording ('prec'), it still shows only modest amount of overhead (1.10% for
+runtime and -3.09% for memory footprint).
+
+For a convenience test run of 'rec' and 'prec', I use a Python wrapper.  The
+wrapper constantly consumes about 10-15MB of memory.  This becomes a high
+memory overhead if the target workload has a small memory footprint.
+Nonetheless, the overheads are not from DAMON, but from the wrapper, and thus
+should be ignored.  This fake memory overhead continues in 'ethp' and 'prcl',
+as those configurations are also using the Python wrapper.
+
+
+Efficient THP
+-------------
+
+THP 'always' enabled policy achieves 6.20% speedup but incurs 6.04% memory
+overhead.  It achieves 44.76% speedup in the best case, but 81.15% memory
+overhead in the worst case.  Interestingly, both the best and worst-case are
+with 'splash2x/ocean_ncp').
+
+The 2-lines implementation of data access monitoring based THP version ('ethp')
+shows 3.76% speedup and 4.15% memory overhead.  In other words, 'ethp' removes
+31.29% of THP memory waste while preserving 60.64% of THP speedup in total.  In
+the case of the 'splash2x/ocean_ncp', 'ethp' removes 82.66% of THP memory waste
+while preserving 52.85% of THP speedup.
+
+
+Proactive Reclamation
+---------------------
+
+As similar to the original work, I use 4G 'zram' swap device for this
+configuration.
+
+In total, our 1 line implementation of Proactive Reclamation, 'prcl', incurred
+6.48% runtime overhead in total while achieving 5.12% system memory usage
+reduction.
+
+Nonetheless, as the memory usage is calculated with 'MemFree' in
+'/proc/meminfo', it contains the SwapCached pages.  As the swapcached pages can
+be easily evicted, I also measured the residential set size of the workloads::

+==========================
+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+Why a new subsystem, instead of extending perf or other user space tools?
+=========================================================================
+
+First, because it needs to be lightweight as much as possible so that it can be
+used online, any unnecessary overhead such as kernel - user space context
+switching cost should be avoided.  Second, DAMON aims to be used by other
+programs including the kernel.  Therefore, having a dependency on specific
+tools like perf is not desirable.  These are the two biggest reasons why DAMON
+is implemented in the kernel space.
+
+
+Can 'idle pages tracking' or 'perf mem' substitute DAMON?
+=========================================================
+
+Idle page tracking is a low level primitive for access check of the physical
+address space.  'perf mem' is similar, though it can use sampling to minimize
+the overhead.  On the other hand, DAMON is a higher-level framework for the
+monitoring of various address spaces.  It is focused on memory management
+optimization and provides sophisticated accuracy/overhead handling mechanisms.
+Therefore, 'idle pages tracking' and 'perf mem' could provide a subset of
+DAMON's output, but cannot substitute DAMON.
+
+
+How can I optimize my system's memory management using DAMON?
+=============================================================
+
+Because there are several ways for the DAMON-based optimizations, we wrote a
+separate document, :doc:`/admin-guide/mm/damon/guide`.  Please refer to that.
+
+
+Does DAMON support virtual memory only?
+=======================================
+
+No.  The core of the DAMON is address space independent.  The address space
+specific low level primitive parts including monitoring target regions
+constructions and actual access checks can be implemented and configured on the
+DAMON core by the users.  In this way, DAMON users can monitor any address
+space with any access check technique.
+
+Nonetheless, DAMON provides vma tracking and PTE Accessed bit check based
+implementations of the address space dependent functions for the virtual memory
+by default, for a reference and convenient use.  In near future, we will
+provide those for physical memory address space.
+
+
+Can I simply monitor page granularity?
+======================================
+
+Yes.  You can do so by setting the ``min_nr_regions`` attribute higher than the
+working set size divided by the page size.  Because the monitoring target
+regions size is forced to be ``>=page size``, the region split will make no
+effect.

+==========================
+DAMON: Data Access MONitor
+==========================
+
+DAMON is a data access monitoring framework subsystem for the Linux kernel.
+The core mechanisms of DAMON (refer to :doc:`design` for the detail) make it
+
+ - *accurate* (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level memory
+   management; It might not appropriate for CPU Cache levels, though),
+ - *light-weight* (the monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied online),
+   and
+ - *scalable* (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range regardless
+   of the size of target workloads).
+
+Using this framework, therefore, the kernel's memory management mechanisms can
+make advanced decisions.  Experimental memory management optimization works
+that incurring high data accesses monitoring overhead could implemented again.
+In user space, meanwhile, users who have some special workloads can write
+personalized applications for better understanding and optimizations of their
+workloads and systems.

+ * Test damon_three_regions_in_vmas() function
+ *
+ * In case of virtual memory address spaces monitoring, DAMON converts the
+ * complex and dynamic memory mappings of each target task to three
+ * discontiguous regions which cover every mapped areas.  However, the three
+ * regions should not include the two biggest unmapped areas in the original
+ * mapping, because the two biggest areas are normally the areas between 1)
+ * heap and the mmap()-ed regions, and 2) the mmap()-ed regions and stack.
+ * Because these two unmapped areas are very huge but obviously never accessed,
+ * covering the region is just a waste.
+ *
+ * 'damon_three_regions_in_vmas() receives an address space of a process.  It
+ * first identifies the start of mappings, end of mappings, and the two biggest

If non-pid target ids were set before by the kernel API, this will cause a
problem.  Therefore, the DAMON users should cleanup there target ids properly.
However, I found that this could be easily missed.  Indeed, my new test code
missed the cleanup.  Moreover, it would be hard to do that when concurrent
DAMON users exist.

One straightforward fix would be making 'damon_set_targets()' to remember last
target id type and do 'put_pid()' if the last target id type was pid, instead
of here.  This will work, but make the address space independent part to be
coupled with the dependent part.

Or, we could add another callback for cleanup and let debugfs code to register
a function doing 'put_pid()' and remove of the targets as the callback.  This
approach will allow the address space independent part to be remain
independent.

I will fix this problem with the second approach in the next spin.

This means that multiple monitoring threads can concurrently run.  This is an
intended design to let users utilize multiple CPUs.  For example, let's suppose
the user need super high accuracy of the monitoring results which require
multiple CPU power.  If use of the multiple CPUs are allowed, the user can
split the monitoring target regions into multiple contexts and call
'damon_start()' for each of the context.

If multiple monitoring threads has conflicting target regions, they will
interfere each other.  Currently, avoidance of such conflict should be done by
'damon_start()' users.  The synchronization would be complicated.

To make the situation simple, I will make the 'damon_start()' receive a group
of 'damon_ctx' objects and creates a group of monitoring threads for the
objects at once.  This will only reduce number of 'damon_start()' calls
required to run multiple monitoring threads.  In addition to this, the groups
of monitoring threads will be mutual exclusive.  In other words,
'damon_start()' will fail if a group of monitoring threads that started by
other 'damon_start()' call is currently running.

This still ask the users to protect each monitoring threads by taking care in
their requests.  But, because the requests are made by the user on its own,
avoiding the conflict will be quite easy.  Further, intentional conflict is
also possible, though I'm unsure how the intentional conflict can be required.

The change will be made in the next spin.
