Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a runtime kill switch.

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention.
Compared with the size-based approach, e.g., [1], this time-based
approach has the following advantages:
1) It's easier to configure because it's agnostic to applications and
   memory sizes.
2) It's more reliable because it's directly wired to the OOM killer.

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen for working set estimation and proactive
reclaim. Compared with the page table-based approach and the PFN-based
approach, e.g., mm/damon/[vp]addr.c, this lruvec-based approach has
the following advantages:
1) It offers better choices because it's aware of memcgs, NUMA nodes,
   shared mappings and unmapped page cache.
2) It's more scalable because it's O(nr_hot_evictable_pages), whereas
   the PFN-based approach is O(nr_total_pages).

Add /sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full for debugging.

+=====================
+Multigenerational LRU
+=====================
+
+Quick start
+===========
+Runtime configurations
+----------------------
+:Required: Write ``1`` to ``/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enable`` if the
+ feature wasn't enabled by default.
+
+Recipes
+=======
+Personal computers
+------------------
+:Thrashing prevention: Write ``N`` to
+ ``/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms`` to prevent the working set of
+ ``N`` milliseconds from getting evicted. The OOM killer is invoked if
+ this working set can't be kept in memory. Based on the average human
+ detectable lag (~100ms), ``N=1000`` usually eliminates intolerable
+ lags due to thrashing. Larger values like ``N=3000`` make lags less
+ noticeable at the cost of more OOM kills.
+
+Data centers
+------------
+:Debugfs interface: ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` has the following
+ format:
+ ::
+
+   memcg  memcg_id  memcg_path
+     node  node_id
+       min_gen  birth_time  anon_size  file_size
+       ...
+       max_gen  birth_time  anon_size  file_size
+
+ ``min_gen`` is the oldest generation number and ``max_gen`` is the
+ youngest generation number. ``birth_time`` is in milliseconds.
+ ``anon_size`` and ``file_size`` are in pages.
+
+ This file also accepts commands in the following subsections.
+ Multiple command lines are supported, so does concatenation with
+ delimiters ``,`` and ``;``.
+
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen_full`` contains additional stats for
+ debugging.
+
+:Working set estimation: Write ``+ memcg_id node_id max_gen
+ [can_swap [full_scan]]`` to ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` to trigger
+ the aging. It scans PTEs for accessed pages and promotes them to the
+ youngest generation ``max_gen``. Then it creates a new generation
+ ``max_gen+1``. Set ``can_swap`` to 1 to scan for accessed anon pages
+ when swap is off. Set ``full_scan`` to 0 to reduce the overhead as
+ well as the coverage when scanning PTEs.
+
+:Proactive reclaim: Write ``- memcg_id node_id min_gen [swappiness
+ [nr_to_reclaim]]`` to ``/sys/kernel/debug/lru_gen`` to trigger the
+ eviction. It evicts generations less than or equal to ``min_gen``.
+ ``min_gen`` should be less than ``max_gen-1`` as ``max_gen`` and
+ ``max_gen-1`` aren't fully aged and therefore can't be evicted. Use
+ ``nr_to_reclaim`` to limit the number of pages to evict.
