Introduction
============
DAMON is a data access monitoring framework 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, several memory management mechanisms such as
reclamation and THP can be optimized to aware real data access patterns.
Experimental access pattern aware memory management optimization works that
incurring high instrumentation overhead will be able to have another try.
Though DAMON is for kernel subsystems, it can be easily exposed to the user
space by writing a DAMON-wrapper kernel subsystem. Then, user space users who
have some special workloads will be able to write personalized tools or
applications for deeper understanding and specialized optimizations of their
systems.
Long-term Plan
--------------
DAMON is a part of a project called Data Access-aware Operating System (DAOS).
As the name implies, I want to improve the performance and efficiency of
systems using fine-grained data access patterns. The optimizations are for
both kernel and user spaces. I will therefore modify or create kernel
subsystems, export some of those to user space and implement user space library
/ tools. Below shows the layers and components for the project.

Evaluations
===========
We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 24
realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine running a kernel that
v24 DAMON patchset is applied.
DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by 0.39% and slows
target workloads down by 1.16%.
DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely 'ethp', removes
76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another
experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl',
reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory footprint while
incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine).
NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are not
for production but 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.

Real-world User Story
=====================
In summary, DAMON has used on production systems and proved its usefulness.
DAMON as a profiler
-------------------
We analyzed characteristics of a large scale production systems of our
customers using DAMON. The systems utilize 70GB DRAM and 36 CPUs. From this,
we were able to find interesting things below.
There were obviously different access pattern under idle workload and active
workload. Under the idle workload, it accessed large memory regions with low
frequency, while the active workload accessed small memory regions with high
freuqnecy.
DAMON found a 7GB memory region that showing obviously high access frequency
under the active workload. We believe this is the performance-effective
working set and need to be protected.
There was a 4KB memory region that showing highest access frequency under not
only active but also idle workloads. We think this must be a hottest code
section like thing that should never be paged out.
For this analysis, DAMON used only 0.3-1% of single CPU time. Because we used
recording-based analysis, it consumed about 3-12 MB of disk space per 20
minutes. This is only small amount of disk space, but we can further reduce
the disk usage by using non-recording-based DAMON features. I'd like to argue
that only DAMON can do such detailed analysis (finding 4KB highest region in
70GB memory) with the light overhead.
DAMON as a system optimization tool
-----------------------------------
We also found below potential performance problems on the systems and made
DAMON-based solutions.
The system doesn't want to make the workload suffer from the page reclamation
and thus it utilizes enough DRAM but no swap device. However, we found the
system is actively reclaiming file-backed pages, because the system has
intensive file IO. The file IO turned out to be not performance critical for
the workload, but the customer wanted to ensure performance critical
file-backed pages like code section to not mistakenly be evicted.
Using direct IO should or `mlock()` would be a straightforward solution, but
modifying the user space code is not easy for the customer. Alternatively, we
could use DAMON-based operation scheme[1]. By using it, we can ask DAMON to
track access frequency of each region and make
'process_madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)[2]' call for regions having specific size and
access frequency for a time interval.
We also found the system is having high number of TLB misses. We tried
'always' THP enabled policy and it greatly reduced TLB misses, but the page
reclamation also been more frequent due to the THP internal fragmentation
caused memory bloat. We could try another DAMON-based operation scheme that
applies 'MADV_HUGEPAGE' to memory regions having >=2MB size and high access
frequency, while applying 'MADV_NOHUGEPAGE' to regions having <2MB size and low
access frequency.
We do not own the systems so we only reported the analysis results and possible
optimization solutions to the customers. The customers satisfied about the
analysis results and promised to try the optimization guides.

Comparison with Idle Page Tracking
==================================
Idle Page Tracking allows users to set and read idleness of pages using a
bitmap file which represents each page with each bit of the file. One
recommended usage of it is working set size detection. Users can do that by
1. find PFN of each page for workloads in interest,
2. set all the pages as idle by doing writes to the bitmap file,
3. wait until the workload accesses its working set, and
4. read the idleness of the pages again and count pages became not idle.
NOTE: While Idle Page Tracking is for user space users, DAMON is primarily
designed for kernel subsystems though it can easily exposed to the user space.
Hence, this section only assumes such user space use of DAMON.
For what use cases Idle Page Tracking would be better?
------------------------------------------------------
1. Flexible usecases other than hotness monitoring.
Because Idle Page Tracking allows users to control the primitive (Page
idleness) by themselves, Idle Page Tracking users can do anything they want.
Meanwhile, DAMON is primarily designed to monitor the hotness of each memory
region. For this, DAMON asks users to provide sampling interval and
aggregation interval. For the reason, there could be some use case that using
Idle Page Tracking is simpler.
2. Physical memory monitoring.
Idle Page Tracking receives PFN range as input, so natively supports physical
memory monitoring.
DAMON is designed to be extensible for multiple address spaces and use cases by
implementing and using primitives for the given use case. Therefore, by
theory, DAMON has no limitation in the type of target address space as long as
primitives for the given address space exists. However, the default primitives
introduced by this patchset supports only virtual address spaces.
Therefore, for physical memory monitoring, you should implement your own
primitives and use it, or simply use Idle Page Tracking.
Nonetheless, RFC patchsets[1] for the physical memory address space primitives
is already available. It also supports user memory same to Idle Page Tracking.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected]/
For what use cases DAMON is better?
-----------------------------------
1. Hotness Monitoring.
Idle Page Tracking let users know only if a page frame is accessed or not. For
hotness check, the user should write more code and use more memory. DAMON do
that by itself.
2. Low Monitoring Overhead
DAMON receives user's monitoring request with one step and then provide the
results. So, roughly speaking, DAMON require only O(1) user/kernel context
switches.
In case of Idle Page Tracking, however, because the interface receives
contiguous page frames, the number of user/kernel context switches increases as
the monitoring target becomes complex and huge. As a result, the context
switch overhead could be not negligible.
Moreover, DAMON is born to handle with the monitoring overhead. Because the
core mechanism is pure logical, Idle Page Tracking users might be able to
implement the mechanism on thier own, but it would be time consuming and the
user/kernel context switching will still more frequent than that of DAMON.
Also, the kernel subsystems cannot use the logic in this case.
3. Page granularity working set size detection.
Until v22 of this patchset, this was categorized as the thing Idle Page
Tracking could do better, because DAMON basically maintains additional metadata
for each of the monitoring target regions. So, in the page granularity working
set size detection use case, DAMON would incur (number of monitoring target
pages * size of metadata) memory overhead. Size of the single metadata item is
about 54 bytes, so assuming 4KB pages, about 1.3% of monitoring target pages
will be additionally used.
All essential metadata for Idle Page Tracking are embedded in 'struct page' and
page table entries. Therefore, in this use case, only one counter variable for
working set size accounting is required if Idle Page Tracking is used.
There are more details to consider, but roughly speaking, this is true in most
cases.
However, the situation changed from v23. Now DAMON supports arbitrary types of
monitoring targets, which don't use the metadata. Using that, DAMON can do the
working set size detection with no additional space overhead but less
user-kernel context switch. A first draft for the implementation of monitoring
primitives for this usage is available in a DAMON development tree[1]. An RFC
patchset for it based on this patchset will also be available soon.
From v24, the arbitrary type support is dropped from this patchset because this
patchset doesn't introduce real use of the type. You can still get it from the
DAMON development tree[2], though.
[1] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/pgidle_hack
[2] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/master
4. More future usecases
While Idle Page Tracking has tight coupling with base primitives (PG_Idle and
page table Accessed bits), DAMON is designed to be extensible for many use
cases and address spaces. If you need some special address type or want to use
special h/w access check primitives, you can write your own primitives for that
and configure DAMON to use those. Therefore, if your use case could be changed
a lot in future, using DAMON could be better.
Can I use both Idle Page Tracking and DAMON?
--------------------------------------------
Yes, though using them concurrently for overlapping memory regions could result
in interference to each other. Nevertheless, such use case would be rare or
makes no sense at all. Even in the case, the noise would bot be really
significant. So, you can choose whatever you want depending on the
characteristics of your use cases.

Long-term Support Trees
-----------------------
For people who want to test DAMON but using LTS kernels, there are another
couple of trees based on two latest LTS kernels respectively and containing the
'damon/master' backports.
- For v5.4.y: https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/for-v5.4.y
- For v5.10.y: https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/for-v5.10.y
Sequence Of Patches
===================
First three patches implement the core logics of DAMON. The 1st patch
introduces basic sampling based hotness monitoring for arbitrary types of
targets. Following two patches implement the core mechanisms for control of
overhead and accuracy, namely regions based sampling (patch 2) and adaptive
regions adjustment (patch 3).
Now the essential parts of DAMON is complete, but it cannot work unless someone
provides monitoring primitives for a specific use case. The following two
patches make it just work for virtual address spaces monitoring. The 4th patch
makes 'PG_idle' can be used by DAMON and the 5th patch implements the virtual
memory address space specific monitoring 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. To let the user space users can use DAMON, following four patches add
interfaces for them. The 6th patch adds a tracepoint for monitoring results.
The 7th patch implements a DAMON application kernel module, namely damon-dbgfs,
that simply wraps DAMON and exposes DAMON interface to the user space via the
debugfs interface. The 8th patch further exports pid of monitoring thread
(kdamond) to user space for easier cpu usage accounting, and the 9th patch
makes the debugfs interface to support multiple contexts.
Three patches for maintainability follows. The 10th patch adds documentations
for both the user space and the kernel space. The 11th patch provides unit
tests (based on the kunit) while the 12th patch adds user space tests (based on
the kselftest).
Finally, the last patch (13th) updates the MAINTAINERS file.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
PG_idle and PG_young allow 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 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 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, the space is limited. Meanwhile, if the new subsystem is
mutually exclusive with IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING or interfering with it is not
a real problem, it would be ok to 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, a new subsystem would be able to reuse
PG_idle without depending on IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING.
In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual
memory address space monitoring primitives will use it.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups adjacent
pages that are 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``,
1. the 'prepare_access_checks' primitive picks one page in each region,
2. waits for one ``sampling interval``,
3. checks whether the page is accessed meanwhile, and
4. increases the access count of the region if so.
Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by adjusting the
number of regions. DAMON allows both the underlying primitives and user
callbacks to adjust regions for the trade-off. In other words, this
commit makes DAMON to use not only time-based sampling but also
space-based sampling.
This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
assumption is not guaranteed. Next commit will address this problem.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
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.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The
core mechanisms of DAMON make it
- accurate (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level
performance-centric memory management; It might be inappropriate for
CPU cache levels, though),
- light-weight (the monitoring overhead is normally 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, hence, we can easily write efficient kernel space
data access monitoring applications. For example, the kernel's memory
management mechanisms can make advanced decisions using this.
Experimental data access aware optimization works that incurring high
access monitoring overhead could again be implemented on top of this.
Due to its simple and flexible interface, providing user space interface
would be also easy. Then, user space users who have some special
workloads can write personalized applications for better understanding
and optimizations of their workloads and systems.
===
Nevertheless, this commit is defining and implementing only basic access
check part without the overhead-accuracy handling core logic. The basic
access check is as below.
The output of DAMON says what memory regions 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 region. 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::
init()
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
if time() % update_interval == 0:
update()
sleep(sampling interval)
The target regions constructed at the beginning of the monitoring and
updated after each ``regions_update_interval``, because the target
regions could be dynamically changed (e.g., mmap() or memory hotplug).
The monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as
the size of the target workload grows.
The basic monitoring primitives for actual access check and dynamic
target regions construction aren't in the core part of DAMON. Instead,
it allows users to implement their own primitives that are optimized for
their use case and configure DAMON to use those. In other words, users
cannot use current version of DAMON without some additional works.
Following commits will implement the core mechanisms for the
overhead-accuracy control and default primitives implementations.

From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
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 does the
works 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 the next sampling target page and checks
whether it is set again after one sampling period. This could disturb
the reclaim logic. DAMON uses ``PG_idle`` and ``PG_young`` page flags
to solve the conflict, 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 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>

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
can easily integrated with tracepoints supporting tools such as perf.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
DAMON is designed to be used by kernel space code such as the memory
management subsystems, and therefore it provides only kernel space API.
That said, letting the user space control DAMON could provide some
benefits to them. For example, it will allow user space to analyze
their specific workloads and make their own special optimizations.
For such cases, this commit implements a simple DAMON application kernel
module, namely 'damon-dbgfs', which merely wraps the DAMON api and
exports those to the user space via the debugfs.
'damon-dbgfs' exports three files, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``, 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.
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.

+ * '__damon_va_three_regions() 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.

From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
For CPU usage accounting, knowing pid of the monitoring thread could be
helpful. For example, users could use cpuaccount cgroups with the pid.
This commit therefore exports the pid of currently running monitoring
thread to the user space via 'kdamond_pid' file in the debugfs
directory.

2.17.1
From: SeongJae Park <[email protected]>
In some use cases, users would want to run multiple monitoring context.
For example, if a user wants a high precision monitoring and dedicating
multiple CPUs for the job is ok, because DAMON creates one monitoring
thread per one context, the user can split the monitoring target regions
into multiple small regions and create one context for each region. Or,
someone might want to simultaneously monitor different address spaces,
e.g., both virtual address space and physical address space.
The DAMON's API allows such usage, but 'damon-dbgfs' does not.
Therefore, only kernel space DAMON users can do multiple contexts
monitoring.
This commit allows the user space DAMON users to use multiple contexts
monitoring by introducing two new 'damon-dbgfs' debugfs files,
'mk_context' and 'rm_context'. Users can create a new monitoring
context by writing the desired name of the new context to 'mk_context'.
Then, a new directory with the name and having the files for setting of
the context ('attrs', 'target_ids' and 'record') will be created under
the debugfs directory. Writing the name of the context to remove to
'rm_context' will remove the related context and directory.

+==================
+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. You can get ``damo`` from
+``tools/damon/`` directory in the DAMON development tree (``damon/master``
+branch of https://github.com/sjp38/linux.git).
+
+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

+===============
+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
+DAMON development kernel source tree (``damon/master`` branch of
+https://github.com/sjp38/linux). 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 describes only the debugfs interface because the user space tool
+is only in the development tree (``damon/master`` branch of
+https://github.com/sjp38/linux) and you could refer to :doc:`/vm/damon/api` for
+the kernel space programming interface.
+
+
+debugfs Interface
+=================
+
+DAMON exports three files, ``attrs``, ``target_ids``, 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.
+
+
+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.
+
+
+Tracepoint for Monitoring Results
+=================================
+
+DAMON provides the monitoring results via a tracepoint,
+``damon:damon_aggregated``. While the monitoring is turned on, you could
+record the tracepoint events and show results using tracepoint supporting tools
+like ``perf``. For example::
+
+ # echo on > monitor_on
+ # perf record damon:damon_aggregated &
+ # sleep 5
+ # kill 9 $(pidof perf)
+ # echo off > monitor_on
+ # perf script

+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 0.39% and slows
+target workloads down by 1.16%.
+
+DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
+experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely 'ethp', removes
+76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another
+experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, namely 'prcl',
+reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory footprint while
+incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine).
+
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+On QEMU/KVM based virtual machines utilizing 130GB of RAM and 36 vCPUs hosted
+by AWS EC2 i3.metal instances that running a kernel that v24 DAMON patchset is
+applied, I measure runtime and consumed system memory while running various
+realistic workloads with several configurations. From each of PARSEC3 [3]_ and
+SPLASH-2X [4]_ benchmark suites I pick 12 workloads, so I use 24 workloads in
+total. 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 v5.10 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. For example, those can be 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 0 access rate for >=7 seconds
+ min max 5 max min max hugepage
+ 2M max min min 7s max nohugepage
+
+ # prcl: If a region >=4KB shows 0 access rate for >=5 seconds, page out.
+ 4K max 0 0 5s max pageout
+
+Note that these examples 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. For automation of such tuning, you can use a user space tool
+called DAMOOS [8]_. For the evaluation, we use 'ethp' as same to above
+example, but we use DAMOOS-tuned 'prcl' for each workload.
+
+The evaluation is done using the tests package for DAMON, ``damon-tests`` [7]_.
+Using it, you can do the evaluation and generate a report on your own.

+DAMON Overheads
+---------------
+
+In total, DAMON virtual memory access recording feature ('rec') incurs 1.16%
+runtime overhead and 0.39% 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 (-0.11% for
+runtime and -1.30% for memory footprint).
+
+For a convenient 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 5.60% speedup but incurs 8.47% memory
+overhead. It achieves 30.69% speedup in the best case, but 80.08% 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 2.87% speedup and 2.02% memory overhead. In other words, 'ethp' removes
+76.15% of THP memory waste while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup in total. In
+the case of the 'splash2x/ocean_ncp', 'ethp' removes 80.30% of THP memory waste
+while preserving 30.79% of THP speedup.
+
+
+Proactive Reclamation
+---------------------
+
+As similar to the original work, I use 4G 'zram' swap device for this
+configuration. Also note that we use DAMOOS-tuned ethp schemes for each
+workload.
+
+In total, our 1 line implementation of Proactive Reclamation, 'prcl', incurred
+7.64% runtime overhead in total while achieving 6.14% system memory footprint
+reduction. Even in the worst case, the runtime overhead was only 16.02%.
+
+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),

Because the monitoring results 'recording' feature removed from this patchset,
related tests and files including '_chk_record.py' and 'debugfs_record.sh'
should be removed from this patch. Similarly, the related tests in kunit tests
also need to be removed. I will do so in the next version.
Thanks,

The 'pte' could be a special mapping which has no associated 'struct page'. In
the case, 'page' would be invalid. Guoju from Alibaba found the problem from
his GPU setup and reported the problem to via Github[1]. I made a fix and
waiting for his test results. I will squash the fix in the next version of
this patch.
