Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in
assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below:

    7 - SLAB
       page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator
       When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head

Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second
sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below.

    7 - SLAB
    page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When
                                                                       ^
    compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head
    page; SLOB will not flag it at all.

This change makes it more natural and consistent with other parts in the
rendered version.

When the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, I did some test on
monitor_on interface like this.

    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/damon/target_ids
    #
    # echo on > /sys/kernel/debug/damon/monitor_on
    # damon: kdamond (5390) starts

Though the ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, but the kthread_run
still be called, and the kdamond.x thread still be created, this is
meaningless.

So there adds a judgment in 'dbgfs_monitor_on_write', if the
ctx->adaptive_targets list is empty, return -EINVAL.

This implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory regions
using DAMON and reclaims those immediately.  It is intended to be used
as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory pressure.
For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall back to the
traditional page-scanning based reclamation.

It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature.  It utilizes all the DAMOS features
including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks.

It could be enabled and tuned in boot time via the kernel boot
parameter, and in run time via its module parameters
('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/') interface.

DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off.  In
some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off
would depend on the system's situation.  For example, schemes for
proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory
pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free
memory.

For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation,
this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism.  The client can describe
the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system),
watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and
low.  If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare
that to the three watermarks for every check interval.  If the metric is
higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated.  If the
metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is
activated.  If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is
deactivated again.  This is to allow users fall back to traditional
page-granularity mechanisms.

This makes DAMON apply schemes to regions having higher priority first,
if it cannot apply schemes to all regions due to the quotas.

The prioritization function should be implemented in the monitoring
primitives.  Those would commonly calculate the priority of the region
using attributes of regions, namely 'size', 'nr_accesses', and 'age'.
For example, some primitive would calculate the priority of each region
using a weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region.

The optimal weights would depend on give environments, so this makes
those customizable.  Nevertheless, the score calculation functions are
only encouraged to respect the weights, not mandated.

The size quota feature of DAMOS is useful for IO resource-critical
systems, but not so intuitive for CPU time-critical systems.  Systems
using zram or zswap-like swap device would be examples.

To provide another intuitive ways for such systems, this implements
time-based quota for DAMON-based Operation Schemes.  If the quota is
set, DAMOS tries to use only up to the user-defined quota of CPU time
within a given time window.

If DAMOS has stopped applying action in the middle of a group of memory
regions due to its size quota, it starts the work again from the
beginning of the address space in the next charge window.  If there is a
huge memory region at the beginning of the address space and it fulfills
the scheme's target data access pattern always, the action will applied
to only the region.

This mitigates the case by skipping memory regions that charged in
current charge window at the beginning of next charge window.

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

This patchset 1) makes the engine for general data access
pattern-oriented memory management (DAMOS) be more useful for production
environments, and 2) implements a static kernel module for lightweight
proactive reclamation using the engine.

Proactive Reclamation
---------------------

On general memory over-committed systems, proactively reclaiming cold
pages helps saving memory and reducing latency spikes that incurred by
the direct reclaim or the CPU consumption of kswapd, while incurring
only minimal performance degradation[2].

A Free Pages Reporting[8] based memory over-commit virtualization system
would be one more specific use case.  In the system, the guest VMs
reports their free memory to host, and the host reallocates the reported
memory to other guests.  As a result, the system's memory utilization
can be maximized.  However, the guests could be not so memory-frugal,
because some kernel subsystems and user-space applications are designed
to use as much memory as available.  Then, guests would report only
small amount of free memory to host, results in poor memory utilization.
Running the proactive reclamation in such guests could help mitigating
this problem.

Google has also implemented this idea and using it in their data center.
They further proposed upstreaming it in LSFMM'19, and "the general
consensus was that, while this sort of proactive reclaim would be useful
for a number of users, the cost of this particular solution was too high
to consider merging it upstream"[3].  The cost mainly comes from the
coldness tracking.  Roughly speaking, the implementation periodically
scans the 'Accessed' bit of each page.  For the reason, the overhead
linearly increases as the size of the memory and the scanning frequency
grows.  As a result, Google is known to dedicating one CPU for the work.
That's a reasonable option to someone like Google, but it wouldn't be so
to some others.

DAMON and DAMOS: An engine for data access pattern-oriented memory management
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAMON[4] is a framework for general data access monitoring.  Its
adaptive monitoring overhead control feature minimizes its monitoring
overhead.  It also let the upper-bound of the overhead be configurable
by clients, regardless of the size of the monitoring target memory.
While monitoring 70 GiB memory of a production system every 5
milliseconds, it consumes less than 1% single CPU time.  For this, it
could sacrify some of the quality of the monitoring results.
Nevertheless, the lower-bound of the quality is configurable, and it
uses a best-effort algorithm for better quality.  Our test results[5]
show the quality is practical enough.  From the production system
monitoring, we were able to find a 4 KiB region in the 70 GiB memory
that shows highest access frequency.

We normally don't monitor the data access pattern just for fun but to
improve something like memory management.  Proactive reclamation is one
such usage.  For such general cases, DAMON provides a feature called
DAMon-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS)[6].  It makes DAMON an engine for
general data access pattern oriented memory management.  Using this,
clients can ask DAMON to find memory regions of specific data access
pattern and apply some memory management action (e.g., page out, move to
head of the LRU list, use huge page, ...).  We call the request
'scheme'.

Proactive Reclamation on top of DAMON/DAMOS
-------------------------------------------

Therefore, by using DAMON for the cold pages detection, the proactive
reclamation's monitoring overhead issue can be solved.  Actually, we
previously implemented a version of proactive reclamation using DAMOS
and achieved noticeable improvements with our evaluation setup[5].
Nevertheless, it more for a proof-of-concept, rather than production
uses.  It supports only virtual address spaces of processes, and require
additional tuning efforts for given workloads and the hardware.  For the
tuning, we introduced a simple auto-tuning user space tool[8].  Google
is also known to using a ML-based similar approach for their fleets[2].
But, making it just works with intuitive knobs in the kernel would be
helpful for general users.

To this end, this patchset improves DAMOS to be ready for such
production usages, and implements another version of the proactive
reclamation, namely DAMON_RECLAIM, on top of it.

DAMOS Improvements: Aggressiveness Control, Prioritization, and Watermarks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, the current version of DAMOS supports only virtual address
spaces.  This patchset makes it supports the physical address space for
the page out action.

Next major problem of the current version of DAMOS is the lack of the
aggressiveness control, which can results in arbitrary overhead.  For
example, if huge memory regions having the data access pattern of
interest are found, applying the requested action to all of the regions
could incur significant overhead.  It can be controlled by tuning the
target data access pattern with manual or automated approaches[2,7].
But, some people would prefer the kernel to just work with only
intuitive tuning or default values.

For such cases, this patchset implements a safeguard, namely time/size
quota.  Using this, the clients can specify up to how much time can be
used for applying the action, and/or up to how much memory regions the
action can be applied within a user-specified time duration.  A followup
question is, to which memory regions should the action applied within
the limits? We implement a simple regions prioritization mechanism for
each action and make DAMOS to apply the action to high priority regions
first.  It also allows clients tune the prioritization mechanism to use
different weights for size, access frequency, and age of memory regions.
This means we could use not only LRU but also LFU or some fancy
algorithms like CAR[9] with lightweight overhead.

Though DAMON is lightweight, someone would want to remove even the cold
pages monitoring overhead when it is unnecessary.  Currently, it should
manually turned on and off by clients, but some clients would simply
want to turn it on and off based on some metrics like free memory ratio
or memory fragmentation.  For such cases, this patchset implements a
watermarks-based automatic activation feature.  It allows the clients
configure the metric of their interest, and three watermarks of the
metric.  If the metric is higher than the high watermark or lower than
the low watermark, the scheme is deactivated.  If the metric is lower
than the mid watermark but higher than the low watermark, the scheme is
activated.

DAMON-based Reclaim
-------------------

Using the improved version of DAMOS, this patchset implements a static
kernel module called 'damon_reclaim'.  It finds memory regions that
didn't accessed for specific time duration and page out.  Consuming too
much CPU for the paging out operations, or doing pageout too frequently
can be critical for systems configuring their swap devices with
software-defined in-memory block devices like zram/zswap or total number
of writes limited devices like SSDs, respectively.  To avoid the
problems, the time/size quotas can be configured.  Under the quotas, it
pages out memory regions that didn't accessed longer first.  Also, to
remove the monitoring overhead under peaceful situation, and to fall
back to the LRU-list based page granularity reclamation when it doesn't
make progress, the three watermarks based activation mechanism is used,
with the free memory ratio as the watermark metric.

For convenient configurations, it provides several module parameters.
Using these, sysadmins can enable/disable it, and tune its parameters
including the coldness identification time threshold, the time/size
quotas and the three watermarks.

Evaluation
==========

In short, DAMON_RECLAIM with 50ms/s time quota and regions
prioritization on v5.15-rc5 Linux kernel with ZRAM swap device achieves
38.58% memory saving with only 1.94% runtime overhead.  For this,
DAMON_RECLAIM consumes only 4.97% of single CPU time.

Setup
-----

We evaluate DAMON_RECLAIM to show how each of the DAMOS improvements
make effect.  For this, we measure DAMON_RECLAIM's CPU consumption,
entire system memory footprint, total number of major page faults, and
runtime of 24 realistic workloads in PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X benchmark
suites on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine.  The virtual machine runs
on an i3.metal AWS instance, has 130GiB memory, and runs a linux kernel
built on latest -mm tree[1] plus this patchset.  It also utilizes a 4
GiB ZRAM swap device.  We repeats the measurement 5 times and use
averages.

Detailed Results
----------------

The results are summarized in the below table.

With coldness identification threshold of 5 seconds, DAMON_RECLAIM
without the time quota-based speed limit achieves 47.21% memory saving,
but incur 4.59% runtime slowdown to the workloads on average.  For this,
DAMON_RECLAIM consumes about 11.28% single CPU time.

Applying time quotas of 200ms/s, 50ms/s, and 10ms/s without the regions
prioritization reduces the slowdown to 4.89%, 2.65%, and 1.5%,
respectively.  Time quota of 200ms/s (20%) makes no real change compared
to the quota unapplied version, because the quota unapplied version
consumes only 11.28% CPU time.  DAMON_RECLAIM's CPU utilization also
similarly reduced: 11.24%, 5.51%, and 2.01% of single CPU time.  That
is, the overhead is proportional to the speed limit.  Nevertheless, it
also reduces the memory saving because it becomes less aggressive.  In
detail, the three variants show 48.76%, 37.83%, and 7.85% memory saving,
respectively.

Applying the regions prioritization (page out regions that not accessed
longer first within the time quota) further reduces the performance
degradation.  Runtime slowdowns and total number of major page faults
increase has been 4.89%/218,690% -> 4.39%/166,136% (200ms/s),
2.65%/111,886% -> 1.94%/59,053% (50ms/s), and 1.5%/34,973.40% ->
2.08%/8,781.75% (10ms/s).  The runtime under 10ms/s time quota has
increased with prioritization, but apparently that's under the margin of
error.

In some functions, it's unnecessary to declare 'err' and 'ret' variables
at the same time.  This patch mainly to simplify the issue of such
declarations by reusing one variable.

The only usage of these structs is to pass their addresses to
walk_page_range(), which takes a pointer to const mm_walk_ops as
argument.  Make them const to allow the compiler to put them in
read-only memory.

This makes the 'damon-dbgfs' to support the physical memory monitoring,
in addition to the virtual memory monitoring.

Users can do the physical memory monitoring by writing a special
keyword, 'paddr' to the 'target_ids' debugfs file.  Then, DAMON will
check the special keyword and configure the monitoring context to run
with the primitives for the physical address space.

Unlike the virtual memory monitoring, the monitoring target region will
not be automatically set.  Therefore, users should also set the
monitoring target address region using the 'init_regions' debugfs file.

Also, note that the physical memory monitoring will not automatically
terminated.  The user should explicitly turn off the monitoring by
writing 'off' to the 'monitor_on' debugfs file.

This implements the monitoring primitives for the physical memory
address space.  Internally, it uses the PTE Accessed bit, similar to
that of the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives.  It supports
only user memory pages, as idle pages tracking does.  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.

This moves functions in the default virtual address spaces monitoring
primitives that commonly usable from other address spaces like physical
address space into a header file.  Those will be reused by the physical
address space monitoring primitives which will be implemented by the
following commit.

Patch series "DAMON: Support Physical Memory Address Space Monitoring:.

DAMON currently supports only virtual address spaces monitoring.  It can
be easily extended for various use cases and address spaces by
configuring its monitoring primitives layer to use appropriate
primitives implementations, though.  This patchset implements monitoring
primitives for the physical address space monitoring using the
structure.

The first 3 patches allow the user space users manually set the
monitoring regions.  The 1st patch implements the feature in the
'damon-dbgfs'.  Then, patches for adding a unit tests (the 2nd patch)
and updating the documentation (the 3rd patch) follow.

Following 4 patches implement the physical address space monitoring
primitives.  The 4th patch makes some primitive functions for the
virtual address spaces primitives reusable.  The 5th patch implements
the physical address space monitoring primitives.  The 6th patch links
the primitives to the 'damon-dbgfs'.  Finally, 7th patch documents this
new features.

This patch (of 7):

Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire
virtual memory address space.  The program interface users in the kernel
space could use '->before_start()' callback or set the regions inside
the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot.

For that reason, this introduces a new debugfs file called
'init_region'.  'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring
target address regions they want by writing special input to the file.
The input should describe each region in each line in the below form:

    <pid> <start address> <end address>

Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped
regions after a 'regions update interval' is passed.  If you want the
regions to not be updated after the initial setting, you could set the
interval as a very long time, say, a few decades.
