Introduction
============
Memory management decisions can be improved if finer data access information is
available. However, because such finer information usually comes with higher
overhead, most systems including Linux forgives the potential benefit and rely
on only coarse information or some light-weight heuristics. The pseudo-LRU and
the aggressive THP promotions are such examples.
A number of data access pattern awared memory management optimizations (refer
to 'Appendix A' for more details) consistently say the potential benefit is not
small. However, none of those has successfully merged to the mainline Linux
kernel mainly due to the absence of a scalable and efficient data access
monitoring mechanism. Refer to 'Appendix B' to see the limitations of existing
memory monitoring mechanisms.
DAMON is a data access monitoring subsystem for the problem. It is 1) accurate
enough to be used for the DRAM level memory management (a straightforward
DAMON-based optimization achieved up to 2.55x speedup), 2) light-weight enough
to be applied online (compared to a straightforward access monitoring scheme,
DAMON is up to 94,242.42x lighter) and 3) keeps predefined upper-bound overhead
regardless of the size of target workloads (thus scalable). Refer to 'Appendix
C' if you interested in how it is possible, and 'Appendix F' to know how the
numbers collected.
DAMON has mainly designed for the kernel's memory management mechanisms.
However, because it is implemented as a standalone kernel module and provides
several interfaces, it can be used by a wide range of users including kernel
space programs, user space programs, programmers, and administrators. DAMON
is now supporting the monitoring only, but it will also provide simple and
convenient data access pattern awared memory managements by itself. Refer to
'Appendix D' for more detailed expected usages of DAMON.
Boring? Here Are Something Colorful
===================================
For intuitive understanding of DAMON, I made web pages[1-8] showing the
visualized dynamic data access pattern of various realistic workloads in
PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X bechmark suites. The figures are generated using the
user space tool in 10th patch of this patchset.
There are pages showing the heatmap format dynamic access pattern of each
workload for heap area[1], mmap()-ed area[2], and stack[3] area. I splitted
the entire address space to the three area because there are huge unmapped
regions between the areas.
You can also show how the dynamic working set size of each workload is
distributed[4], and how it is chronologically changing[5].
The most important characteristic of DAMON is its promise of the upperbound of
the monitoring overhead. To show whether DAMON keeps the promise well, I
visualized the number of monitoring operations required for each 5
milliseconds, which is configured to not exceed 1000. You can show the
distribution of the numbers[6] and how it changes chronologically[7].

Future Plans
============
This patchset is only for the first stage of DAMON. As soon as this patchset
is merged, official patchsets for below future plans will be posted.
Automate Data Access Pattern-aware Memory Management
----------------------------------------------------
Though DAMON provides the monitoring feature, implementing data access pattern
aware memory management schemes could be difficult to beginners. DAMON will be
able to do most of the work by itself in near future. Users will be required
to only describe what kind of data access monitoring-based operation schemes
they want.
By applying a very simple scheme for THP promotion/demotion with a latest
version of the patchset (not posted yet), DAMON achieved 18x lower memory space
overhead compared to THP while preserving about 50% of the THP performance
benefit with SPLASH-2X benchmark suite.
An RFC patchset for this plan is already available
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/).
Support Various Address Spaces
------------------------------
Currently, DAMON supports virtual memory address spaces using PTE Accessed bits
as its access checking primitive. However, the core design of DAMON is not
dependent to such implementation details. In a future, DAMON will decouple
those and support various address spaces including physical memory. It will
further allow users to configure and even implement the primitives by
themselves for their special usecase. Monitoring of page cache, NUMA nodes,
specific files, or block devices would be examples of such usecases.
An RFC patchset for this plan is already available
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/).
Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Q: Why a new module, instead of extending perf or other tools?
A: First, DAMON aims to be used by other programs including the kernel.
Therefore, having dependency to specific tools like perf is not desirable.
Second, because it need 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. These are the two most biggest reasons why
DAMON is implemented in the kernel space. The idle page tracking subsystem
would be the kernel module that most seems similar to DAMON. However, its own
interface is not compatible with DAMON. Also, the internal implementation of
it has no common part to be reused by DAMON.
Q: Can 'perf mem' or PMUs used instead of DAMON?
A: No. Roughly speaking, DAMON has two seperate layers. The low layer is
access check of pages, and the higher layer is its core mechanisms for overhead
controlling. For the low layer, DAMON is now using the PTE Accessed bits.
Other H/W or S/W features that can be used for the access check of pages, such
as 'perf mem', PMU, or even page idle, could be used instead in the layer.
However, those could not alternate the high layer of DAMON.
Evaluations
===========
We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 25
realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine.
DAMON is lightweight. It consumes only 0.03% more system memory and up to 1%
CPU time. It makes target worloads only 0.7% slower.
DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP removes 63.12% of THP memory
overheads while preserving 49.15% of THP speedup. Another experimental
DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation reduces 85.85% of
residentail sets and 21.98% of system memory footprint while incurring only
2.42% runtime overhead in 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 'Appendix E' for detailed evaluation setup and results.

The web is also available:
https://github.com/sjp38/linux/releases/tag/damon/patches/v11
This patchset contains patches for the stabled main logic of DAMON only. The
latest DAMON development tree is also available at:
https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/master
Sequence Of Patches
===================
The patches are organized in the following sequence. The first two patches are
preparation of DAMON patchset. The 1st patch adds typos found in previous
versions of DAMON patchset to 'scripts/spelling.txt' so that the typos can be
caught by 'checkpatch.pl'. The 2nd patch exports 'lookup_page_ext()' to GPL
modules so that it can be used by DAMON even though it is built as a loadable
module.
Next five patches implement the core of DAMON and it's programming interface.
The 3rd patch introduces DAMON module, it's data structures, and data structure
related common functions. Following four patches (4nd to 7th) implements the
core mechanisms of DAMON, namely regions based sampling (patch 4), adaptive
regions adjustment (patches 5-6), and dynamic memory mapping chage adoption
(patch 7).
Following four patches are for low level users of DAMON. The 8th patch
implements callbacks for each of monitoring steps so that users can do whatever
they want with the access patterns. The 9th one implements recording of access
patterns in DAMON for better convenience and efficiency. Each of next two
patches (10th and 11th) respectively adds a debugfs interface for privileged
people and/or programs in user space, and a tracepoint for other tracepoints
supporting tracers such as perf.
Two patches for high level users of DAMON follows. To provide a minimal
reference to the debugfs interface and for high level use/tests of the DAMON,
the next patch (12th) implements an user space tool. The 13th patch adds a
document for administrators of DAMON.
Next two patches are for tests. The 14th and 15th patches provide unit tests
(based on kunit) and user space tests (based on kselftest), respectively.
Finally, the last patch (16th) updates the MAINTAINERS file.
Patch History
=============
The most biggest change in this version is support of minimal region size,
which defaults to 'PAGE_SIZE'. This change will reduce unnecessary region
splits and thus improve the quality of the output. In a future, we will be

Appendix A: Related Works
=========================
There are a number of researches[1,2,3,4,5,6] optimizing memory management
mechanisms based on the actual memory access patterns that shows impressive
results. However, most of those has no deep consideration about the monitoring
of the accesses itself. Some of those focused on the overhead of the
monitoring, but does not consider the accuracy scalability[6] or has additional
dependencies[7]. Indeed, one recent research[5] about the proactive
reclamation has also proposed[8] to the kernel community but the monitoring
overhead was considered a main problem.

Appendix B: Limitations of Other Access Monitoring Techniques
=============================================================
The memory access instrumentation techniques which are applied to
many tools such as Intel PIN is essential for correctness required cases such
as memory access bug detections or cache level optimizations. However, those
usually incur exceptionally high overhead which is unacceptable.
Periodic access checks based on access counting features (e.g., PTE Accessed
bits or PG_Idle flags) can reduce the overhead. It sacrifies some of the
quality but it's still ok to many of this domain. However, the overhead
arbitrarily increase as the size of the target workload grows. Miniature-like
static region based sampling can set the upperbound of the overhead, but it
will now decrease the quality of the output as the size of the workload grows.
DAMON is another solution that overcomes the limitations. It is 1) accurate
enough for this domain, 2) light-weight so that it can be applied online, and
3) allow users to set the upper-bound of the overhead, regardless of the size
of target workloads. It is implemented as a simple and small kernel module to
support various users in both of the user space and the kernel space. Refer to
'Evaluations' section below for detailed performance of DAMON.
For the goals, DAMON utilizes its two core mechanisms, which allows lightweight
overhead and high quality of output, repectively. To show how DAMON promises
those, refer to 'Mechanisms of DAMON' section below.
Appendix C: Mechanisms of DAMON
===============================
Basic Access Check
------------------
DAMON basically reports what pages are how frequently accessed. The report is
passed to users in binary format via a ``result file`` which users can set it's
path. Note that the frequency is not an absolute number of accesses, but a
relative frequency among the pages of the target workloads.
Users can also control the resolution of the reports by setting two time
intervals, ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``. In detail,
DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval``, aggregates the
results (counts the number of the accesses to each page), and reports the
aggregated results per ``aggregation interval``. For the access check of each
page, DAMON uses the Accessed bits of PTEs.
This is thus similar to the previously mentioned periodic access checks based
mechanisms, which overhead is increasing as the size of the target process
grows.
Region Based Sampling
---------------------
To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups a number of
adjacent pages that assumed to have same access frequencies into a region. As
long as the assumption (pages in a region have 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 and clears
its Accessed bit. After one more ``sampling interval``, DAMON reads the
Accessed bit of the page and increases the access frequency of the region if
the bit has set meanwhile. Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable
by setting the number of regions. DAMON allows users to set the minimal and
maximum number of regions for the trade-off.
Except the assumption, this is almost same with the above-mentioned
miniature-like static region based sampling. In other words, this scheme
cannot preserve the quality of the output if the assumption is not guaranteed.
Adaptive Regions Adjustment
---------------------------
At the beginning of the monitoring, DAMON constructs the initial regions by
evenly splitting the memory mapped address space of the process into the
user-specified minimal number of regions. In this initial state, the
assumption is normally not kept and thus the quality could be low. To keep the
assumption as much as possible, DAMON adaptively merges and splits each region.
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 regions if the total number of regions is smaller
than the half of the user-specified maximum number of regions.
In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead while
keeping the bounds users set for their trade-off.
Applying Dynamic Memory Mappings
--------------------------------
Only a number of small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the
processes is mapped to physical memory and accessed. Thus, tracking the
unmapped address regions is just wasteful. However, tracking every memory
mapping change might incur an overhead. For the reason, DAMON applies the
dynamic memory mapping changes to the tracking regions only for each of an
user-specified time interval (``regions update interval``).
Appendix D: Expected Use-cases
==============================
A straightforward usecase of DAMON would be the program behavior analysis.
With the DAMON output, users can confirm whether the program is running as
intended or not. This will be useful for debuggings and tests of design
points.
The monitored results can also be useful for counting the dynamic working set
size of workloads. For the administration of memory overcommitted systems or
selection of the environments (e.g., containers providing different amount of
memory) for your workloads, this will be useful.
If you are a programmer, you can optimize your program by managing the memory
based on the actual data access pattern. For example, you can identify the
dynamic hotness of your data using DAMON and call ``mlock()`` to keep your hot
data in DRAM, or call ``madvise()`` with ``MADV_PAGEOUT`` to proactively
reclaim cold data. Even though your program is guaranteed to not encounter
memory pressure, you can still improve the performance by applying the DAMON
outputs for call of ``MADV_HUGEPAGE`` and ``MADV_NOHUGEPAGE``. More creative
optimizations would be possible. Our evaluations of DAMON includes a
straightforward optimization using the ``mlock()``. Please refer to the below
Evaluation section for more detail.
As DAMON incurs very low overhead, such optimizations can be applied not only
offline, but also online. Also, there is no reason to limit such optimizations
to the user space. Several parts of the kernel's memory management mechanisms
could be also optimized using DAMON. The reclamation, the THP (de)promotion
decisions, and the compaction would be such a candidates. DAMON will continue
its development to be highly optimized for the online/in-kernel uses. We will
further automate the optimization for many usecases.
Appendix E: Evaluations
=======================
Setup
-----
On my personal QEMU/KVM based virtual machine on an Intel i7 host machine
running Ubuntu 18.04, 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
personally use another wrapper scripts[5] for setup and run of the workloads.
On top of this patchset, we also applied the DAMON-based operation schemes
patchset[6] for this evaluation.
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. You can get stdev, min, and max of the numbers among the
repeated runs in appendix below.
Configurations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The configurations I use are as below.
orig: Linux v5.5 with 'madvise' THP policy
rec: 'orig' plus DAMON running with record feature
thp: same with 'orig', but use 'always' THP policy
ethp: 'orig' plus a DAMON operation scheme[6], 'efficient THP'
prcl: 'orig' plus a DAMON operation scheme, 'proactive reclaim[7]'
I use 'rec' for measurement of DAMON overheads to target workloads and system
memory. The remaining configs including 'thp', 'ethp', and 'prcl' are for
measurement of DAMON monitoring accuracy.
'ethp' and 'prcl' is simple DAMON-based operation schemes developed for
proof of concepts of DAMON. 'ethp' reduces memory space waste of THP by using
DAMON for 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 >2MB shows >5% access rate, use regular
# pages if a region >2MB shows <5% access rate for >1 second
2M null 5 null null null hugepage
2M null null 5 1s null nohugepage
# prcl: If a region >4KB shows <5% access rate for >5 seconds, page out.
4K null null 5 500ms 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 tuned more.

DAMON Overheads
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In total, DAMON recording feature incurs 0.70% runtime overhead and 0.03%
memory space overhead.
For convenience test run of 'rec', I use a Python wrapper. The wrapper
constantly consumes about 10-15MB of memory. This becomes high memory overhead
if the target workload has 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 4.76% speedup but incurs 7.05% memory
overhead. It achieves 37.37% speedup in best case, but 81.79% memory overhead
in 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 2.34% speedup and 2.60% memory overhead. In other words, 'ethp' removes
63.12% of THP memory waste while preserving 49.15% of THP speedup in total. In
case of the 'splash2x/ocean_ncp', 'ethp' removes 62.94% of THP memory waste
while preserving 57.37% of THP speedup.
Proactive Reclamation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As same to the original work, I use 'zram' swap device for this configuration.
In total, our 1 line implementation of Proactive Reclamation, 'prcl', incurred
8.41% runtime overhead in total while achieving 5.83% 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:

Appendix F: Prototype Evaluations
=================================
A prototype of DAMON has evaluated on an Intel Xeon E7-8837 machine using 20
benchmarks that picked from SPEC CPU 2006, NAS, Tensorflow Benchmark,
SPLASH-2X, and PARSEC 3 benchmark suite. Nonethless, this section provides
only summary of the results. For more detail, please refer to the slides used
for the introduction of DAMON at the Linux Plumbers Conference 2019[1] or the
MIDDLEWARE'19 industrial track paper[2].

Quality
-------
We first traced and visualized the data access pattern of each workload. We
were able to confirm that the visualized results are reasonably accurate by
manually comparing those with the source code of the workloads.
To see the usefulness of the monitoring, we optimized 9 memory intensive
workloads among them for memory pressure situations using the DAMON outputs.
In detail, we identified frequently accessed memory regions in each workload
based on the DAMON results and protected them with ``mlock()`` system calls by
manually modifying the source code. The optimized versions consistently show
speedup (2.55x in best case, 1.65x in average) under artificial memory
pressures. We use cgroups for the pressure.
Overhead
--------
We also measured the overhead of DAMON. The upperbound we set was kept as
expected. Besides, it was much lower (0.6 percent of the bound in best case,
13.288 percent of the bound in average). This reduction of the overhead is
mainly resulted from its core mechanism called adaptive regions adjustment.
Refer to 'Appendix D' for more detail about the mechanism. We also compared
the overhead of DAMON with that of a straightforward periodic PTE Accessed bit
checking based monitoring. DAMON's overhead was smaller than it by 94,242.42x
in best case, 3,159.61x in average.
The latest version of DAMON running with its default configuration consumes
only up to 1% of CPU time when applied to realistic workloads in PARSEC3 and
SPLASH-2X and makes no visible slowdown to the target processes.
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
This commit introduces a kernel module named DAMON. Note that this
commit is implementing only the stub for the module load/unload, basic
data structures, and simple manipulation functions of the structures to
keep the size of commit small. The core mechanisms of DAMON will be
implemented one by one by following commits.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
At the beginning of the monitoring, DAMON constructs the initial regions
by evenly splitting the memory mapped address space of the process into
the user-specified minimal number of regions. In this initial state,
the assumption of the regions (pages in same region have similar access
frequencies) is normally not kept and thus the monitoring quality could
be low. To keep the assumption as much as possible, DAMON adaptively
merges and splits each region.
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 regions if the total number
of regions is smaller than the half of the user-specified maximum number
of regions.
In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead
while keeping the bounds users set for their trade-off.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
Only a number of parts in the virtual address space of the processes is
mapped to physical memory and accessed. Thus, tracking the unmapped
address regions is just wasteful. However, tracking every memory
mapping change might incur an overhead. For the reason, DAMON applies
the dynamic memory mapping changes to the tracking regions only for each
of a user-specified time interval (``regions update interval``).

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
This commit implements DAMON's basic access check and region based
sampling mechanisms. This change would seems make no sense, mainly
because it is only a part of the DAMON's logics. Following two commits
will make more sense.
Basic Access Check
------------------
DAMON basically reports what pages are how frequently accessed. Note
that the frequency is not an absolute number of accesses, but a relative
frequency among the pages of the target workloads.
Users can control the resolution of the reports by setting two time
intervals, ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``. In
detail, DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval``,
aggregates the results (counts the number of the accesses to each page),
and reports the aggregated results per ``aggregation interval``. For
the access check of each page, DAMON uses the Accessed bits of PTEs.
This is thus similar to common periodic access checks based access
tracking mechanisms, which overhead is increasing as the size of the
target process grows.
Region Based Sampling
---------------------
To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups a number
of adjacent pages that assumed to have same access frequencies into a
region. As long as the assumption (pages in a region have 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 and clears its Accessed bit. After one more
``sampling interval``, DAMON reads the Accessed bit of the page and
increases the access frequency of the region if the bit has set
meanwhile. Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by
setting the number of regions.
Nonetheless, this scheme cannot preserve the quality of the output if
the assumption is not kept. Following commit will introduce how we can
make the guarantee with best effort.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
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 used widely, this commit implements the
feature in the DAMON, for more convenience and efficiency.

From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
Suppose that there are a very wide and cold region and a hot region, and
both regions are identified by DAMON. And then, the middle small region
inside the very wide and cold region becomes hot. DAMON will not be
able to identify this new region because the adaptive regions adjustment
mechanism splits each region to only two subregions.
This commit modifies the logic to split each region to 3 subregions if
such corner case is detected.

This commit implements callbacks for DAMON. Using this, DAMON users can
install their callbacks for each step of the access monitoring so that
they can do something interesting with the monitored access patterns
online. For example, callbacks can report the monitored patterns to
users or do some access pattern based memory management such as
proactive reclamations or access pattern based THP promotions/demotions
decision makings.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
This commit adds a debugfs interface for DAMON.
DAMON exports four files, ``attrs``, ``pids``, ``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 PIDs
-----------
Users can read and write the pids of current monitoring target processes
by reading from and writing to the ``pids`` file. For example, below
commands set processes having pids 42 and 4242 as the processes to be
monitored and check it again::
# cd <debugfs>/damon
# echo 42 4242 > pids
# cat pids
42 4242
Note that setting the pids 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 > pids
# cat record
4096 /damon.data
Turning On/Off
--------------
You can check current status, start and stop the monitoring by reading
from and writing to the ``monitor_on`` file. Writing ``on`` to the file
starts DAMON to monitor the target processes with the attributes.
Writing ``off`` to the file stops DAMON. DAMON also stops if every
target processes is terminated. Below example commands turn on, off,
and check 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 ``attrs`` and ``pids`` files
while the monitoring is turned on. If you write to the files while
DAMON is running, ``-EINVAL`` will be returned.

From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
This commit adds a tracepoint for DAMON. It traces the monitoring
results of each region for each aggregation interval. Using this, DAMON
will be easily integrated with any tracepoints supporting tools such as
perf.

+==========================
+DAMON: Data Access MONitor
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Memory management decisions can be improved if finer data access information is
+available. However, because such finer information usually comes with higher
+overhead, most systems including Linux forgives the potential benefit and rely
+on only coarse information or some light-weight heuristics.
+
+A number of data access pattern awared memory management optimizations
+consistently say the potential benefit is not small (2.55x speedup). However,
+none of those has successfully adopted into into the Linux kernel mainly due to
+the absence of a scalable and efficient data access monitoring mechanism.
+
+DAMON is a data access monitoring subsystem for the problem. It is 1) accurate
+enough to be used for the DRAM level memory management, 2) light-weight enough
+to be applied online, and 3) keeps predefined upper-bound overhead
+regardless of the size of target workloads (thus scalable).
+
+DAMON is implemented as a standalone kernel module and provides several simple
+interfaces. Owing to that, though it has mainly designed for the kernel's
+memory management mechanisms, it can be also used for a wide range of user
+space programs and people.
+
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+Q: Why not integrated with perf?
+A: From the perspective of perf like profilers, DAMON can be thought of as a
+data source in kernel, like tracepoints, pressure stall information (psi), or
+idle page tracking. Thus, it can be easily integrated with those. However,
+this patchset doesn't provide a fancy perf integration because current step of
+DAMON development is focused on its core logic only. That said, DAMON already
+provides two interfaces for user space programs, which based on debugfs and
+tracepoint, respectively. Using the tracepoint interface, you can use DAMON
+with perf. This patchset also provides the debugfs interface based user space
+tool for DAMON. It can be used to record, visualize, and analyze data access
+pattern of target processes in a convenient way.
+
+Q: Why a new module, instead of extending perf or other tools?
+A: First, DAMON aims to be used by other programs including the kernel.
+Therefore, having dependency to specific tools like perf is not desirable.
+Second, because it need 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. These are the two most biggest reasons why
+DAMON is implemented in the kernel space. The idle page tracking subsystem
+would be the kernel module that most seems similar to DAMON. However, it's own
+interface is not compatible with DAMON. Also, the internal implementation of
+it has no common part to be reused by DAMON.
+
+Q: Can 'perf mem' provide the data required for DAMON?
+A: On the systems supporting 'perf mem', yes. DAMON is using the PTE Accessed
+bits in low level. Other H/W or S/W features that can be used for the purpose
+could be used. However, as explained with above question, DAMON need to be
+implemented in the kernel space.
+
+
+Expected Use-cases
+==================
+
+A straightforward usecase of DAMON would be the program behavior analysis.
+With the DAMON output, users can confirm whether the program is running as
+intended or not. This will be useful for debuggings and tests of design
+points.
+
+The monitored results can also be useful for counting the dynamic working set
+size of workloads. For the administration of memory overcommitted systems or
+selection of the environments (e.g., containers providing different amount of
+memory) for your workloads, this will be useful.
+
+If you are a programmer, you can optimize your program by managing the memory
+based on the actual data access pattern. For example, you can identify the
+dynamic hotness of your data using DAMON and call ``mlock()`` to keep your hot
+data in DRAM, or call ``madvise()`` with ``MADV_PAGEOUT`` to proactively
+reclaim cold data. Even though your program is guaranteed to not encounter
+memory pressure, you can still improve the performance by applying the DAMON
+outputs for call of ``MADV_HUGEPAGE`` and ``MADV_NOHUGEPAGE``. More creative
+optimizations would be possible. Our evaluations of DAMON includes a
+straightforward optimization using the ``mlock()``. Please refer to the below
+Evaluation section for more detail.
+
+As DAMON incurs very low overhead, such optimizations can be applied not only
+offline, but also online. Also, there is no reason to limit such optimizations
+to the user space. Several parts of the kernel's memory management mechanisms
+could be also optimized using DAMON. The reclamation, the THP (de)promotion
+decisions, and the compaction would be such a candidates.
+
+
+Mechanisms of DAMON
+===================
+
+
+Basic Access Check
+------------------
+
+DAMON basically reports what pages are how frequently accessed. The report is
+passed to users in binary format via a ``result file`` which users can set it's
+path. Note that the frequency is not an absolute number of accesses, but a
+relative frequency among the pages of the target workloads.
+
+Users can also control the resolution of the reports by setting two time
+intervals, ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``. In detail,
+DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval``, aggregates the
+results (counts the number of the accesses to each page), and reports the
+aggregated results per ``aggregation interval``. For the access check of each
+page, DAMON uses the Accessed bits of PTEs.
+
+This is thus similar to the previously mentioned periodic access checks based
+mechanisms, which overhead is increasing as the size of the target process
+grows.
+
+
+Region Based Sampling
+---------------------
+
+To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups a number of
+adjacent pages that assumed to have same access frequencies into a region. As
+long as the assumption (pages in a region have 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 and clears
+its Accessed bit. After one more ``sampling interval``, DAMON reads the
+Accessed bit of the page and increases the access frequency of the region if
+the bit has set meanwhile. Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable
+by setting the number of regions. DAMON allows users to set the minimal and
+maximum number of regions for the trade-off.
+
+Except the assumption, this is almost same with the above-mentioned
+miniature-like static region based sampling. In other words, this scheme
+cannot preserve the quality of the output if the assumption is not guaranteed.
+
+
+Adaptive Regions Adjustment
+---------------------------
+
+At the beginning of the monitoring, DAMON constructs the initial regions by
+evenly splitting the memory mapped address space of the process into the
+user-specified minimal number of regions. In this initial state, the
+assumption is normally not kept and thus the quality could be low. To keep the
+assumption as much as possible, DAMON adaptively merges and splits each region.
+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 regions if the total number of regions is smaller
+than the half of the user-specified maximum number of regions.
+
+In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead while
+keeping the bounds users set for their trade-off.
+
+
+Applying Complex and Dynamic Memory Mappings
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Only a number of small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the
+processes is mapped to physical memory and accessed. Thus, tracking the
+unmapped address regions is just wasteful. However, because DAMON can deal
+with some level of noises using the adaptive regions adjustment mechanism,
+tracking every mapping is not strictly required but could even incur a high
+overhead in somce 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, DAMON converts the complex mappings to three distinct regions
+that cover every mapped areas 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 might be the gap between the heap and
+the uppermost mmap()-ed region, and the gap between the lowermost mmap()-ed
+region and the stack will be two biggest unmapped regions. Because these gaps
+are exceptionally huge areas in usual address space, excluding these two
+biggest unmapped regions will be sufficient to make a trade-off.
+
+To further minimize dynamic mapping changes applying overhead, DAMON check 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``).
+
+
+``debugfs`` Interface
+=====================
+
+DAMON exports four files, ``attrs``, ``pids``, ``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 PIDs
+-----------
+
+Users can read and write the pids of current monitoring target processes by
+reading from and writing to the ``pids`` file. For example, below commands set
+processes having pids 42 and 4242 as the processes to be monitored and check it
+again::
+
+ # cd <debugfs>/damon
+ # echo 42 4242 > pids
+ # cat pids
+ 42 4242
+
+Note that setting the pids 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
+--------------
+
+You can check current status, start and stop the monitoring by reading from and
+writing to the ``monitor_on`` file. Writing ``on`` to the file starts DAMON to
+monitor the target processes with the attributes. Writing ``off`` to the file
+stops DAMON. DAMON also stops if every target processes is terminated.
+Below example commands turn on, off, and check 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 ``attrs`` and ``pids`` 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.
+
+
+User Space Tool for DAMON
+=========================
+
+There is a user space tool for DAMON, ``/tools/damon/damo``. It provides
+another user interface which more convenient than the debugfs interface.
+Nevertheless, note that it is only aimed to be used for minimal reference of
+the DAMON's debugfs interfaces and for tests of the DAMON itself. Based on the
+debugfs interface, you can create another cool and more convenient user space
+tools.
+
+The interface of the tool is basically subcommand based. You can almost always
+use ``-h`` option to get help of the use of each subcommand. Currently, it
+supports two subcommands, ``record`` and ``report``.
+
+
+Recording Data Access Pattern
+-----------------------------
+
+The ``record`` subcommand records the data access pattern of target process in
+a file (``./damon.data`` by default) using DAMON. You can specifies the target
+as either pid or a command for an execution of the 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`
+
+You can set more detailed attributes and path to the recorded data file using
+optional arguments to the subcommand. Use the ``-h`` option for more help.
+
+
+Analyzing Data Access Pattern
+-----------------------------
+
+The ``report`` subcommand reads a data access pattern record file (if not
+explicitly specified, reads ``./damon.data`` file if exists) and generates
+reports of various types. You can specify what type of report you want using
+sub-subcommand to ``report`` subcommand. For supported types, pass the ``-h``
+option to ``report`` subcommand.
+
+
+raw
+~~~
+
+``raw`` sub-subcommand simply transforms the record, which is storing the data
+access patterns in binary format to human readable text. For example::
+
+ $ ./damo report raw
+ start_time: 193485829398
+ rel time: 0
+ nr_tasks: 1
+ pid: 1348
+ nr_regions: 4
+ 560189609000-56018abce000( 22827008): 0
+ 7fbdff59a000-7fbdffaf1a00( 5601792): 0
+ 7fbdffaf1a00-7fbdffbb5000( 800256): 1
+ 7ffea0dc0000-7ffea0dfd000( 249856): 0
+
+ rel time: 100000731
+ nr_tasks: 1
+ pid: 1348
+ nr_regions: 6
+ 560189609000-56018abce000( 22827008): 0
+ 7fbdff59a000-7fbdff8ce933( 3361075): 0
+ 7fbdff8ce933-7fbdffaf1a00( 2240717): 1
+ 7fbdffaf1a00-7fbdffb66d99( 480153): 0
+ 7fbdffb66d99-7fbdffbb5000( 320103): 1
+ 7ffea0dc0000-7ffea0dfd000( 249856): 0
+
+The first line shows recording started timestamp (nanosecond). Records of data
+access patterns are following this. Each record is sperated by a blank line.
+Each record first specifies the recorded time (``rel time``), number of
+monitored tasks in this record (``nr_tasks``). Multiple number of records of
+data access pattern for each task continue. Each data access pattern for each
+task shows first it's pid (``pid``) and number of monitored virtual address
+regions in this access pattern (``nr_regions``). After that, each line shows
+start/end address, size, and number of monitored accesses to the region for
+each of the regions.
+
+
+heats
+~~~~~
+
+The ``raw`` type shows detailed information but it is exhaustive to manually
+read and analyzed. For the reason, ``heats`` plots the data in heatmap form,
+using time as x-axis, virtual address as y-axis, and access frequency as
+z-axis. Also, users set the resolution and start/end point of each axis 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 the recorded access pattern of the ``sleep`` command using 3
+data points for each of time axis and address axis. Therefore, it shows 9 data
+points in total.
+
+Users can easily converts this text output into heatmap image or other 3D
+representation using various tools such as 'gnuplot'. ``raw`` sub-subcommand
+also provides '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 ``heatmap.png`` file containing the heatmap image. It supports
+``pdf``, ``png``, ``jpeg``, and ``svg``.
+
+For proper zoom in / zoom out, you need to see the layout of the record. For
+that, use '--guide' option. If the option is given, it will provide useful
+information about the records in the record file. For example::
+
+ $ ./damo report heats --guide
+ pid:1348
+ time: 193485829398-198337863555 (4852034157)
+ region 0: 00000094564599762944-00000094564622589952 (22827008)
+ region 1: 00000140454009610240-00000140454016012288 (6402048)
+ region 2: 00000140731597193216-00000140731597443072 (249856)
+
+The output shows monitored regions (start and end addresses in byte) and
+monitored time duration (start and end time in nanosecond) of each target task.
+Therefore, it would be wise to plot only each region rather than plotting
+entire address space in one heatmap because the gaps between the regions are so
+huge in this case.
+
+
+wss
+~~~
+
+The ``wss`` type shows the distribution or time-varying working set sizes of
+the recorded workload using the records. For example::
+
+ $ ./damo report wss
+ # <percentile> <wss>
+ # pid 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. Basically it shows 0th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentile and
+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 in average.
+
+By setting the sort key of the percentile using '--sortby', you can also see
+how the working set size is chronologically changed. For example::
+
+ $ ./damo report wss --sortby time
+ # <percentile> <wss>
+ # pid 1348
+ # avr: 66228
+ 0 0
+ 25 0
+ 50 0
+ 75 0
+ 100 0
+
+The average is still 66,228. And, because we sorted the working set using
+recorded time and the access is very short, we cannot show when the access
+made.
+
+Users can specify the resolution of the distribution (``--range``). It also
+supports 'gnuplot' based simple visualization (``--plot``) of the distribution.

From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
This commit adds 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.

+ * Test damon_three_regions_in_vmas() function
+ *
+ * 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
+ * unmapped areas. After that, based on the information, it constructs the
+ * three regions and returns. For more detail, refer to the comment of
+ * 'damon_init_regions_of()' function definition in 'mm/damon.c' file.
+ *
+ * For example, suppose virtual address ranges of 10-20, 20-25, 200-210,
+ * 210-220, 300-305, and 307-330 (Other comments represent this mappings in
+ * more short form: 10-20-25, 200-210-220, 300-305, 307-330) of a process are
+ * mapped. To cover every mappings, the three regions should start with 10,
+ * and end with 305. The process also has three unmapped areas, 25-200,
+ * 220-300, and 305-307. Among those, 25-200 and 220-300 are the biggest two
+ * unmapped areas, and thus it should be converted to three regions of 10-25,
+ * 200-220, and 300-330.
