Right, it's not integrated with perf.  DAMON provides only its debugfs
interface.  Also I agree that correlating measurments will be helpful.  I do
not integrate DAMON with perf with this patchset for following reasons.

First of all, I think I have no deep understanding of perf, yet.  Partly for
the reason, I couldn't figure out the best way to integrate DAMON with perf.
Especially, I couldn't straightforwardly classify DAMON providing information
into one of the categories of the perf events I know.

Therefore, rather than integrating DAMON with perf in my arguable way and
increasing the complexity of the code, I decided to keep the interface as
simple and flexible as it can be for the first stage.  That said, I believe it
would be not too hard to integrate DAMON with perf in a future.


Thanks,
