RFC v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230509185419.1088297-1-yuanchu@google.com/
For background and interfaces, see the RFC v1 posting.

Changes from v1 -> v2:
- Refactored the patchs into smaller pieces
- Renamed interfaces and functions from wss to wsr (Working Set Reporting)
- Fixed build errors when CONFIG_WSR is not set
- Changed working_set_num_bins to u8 for virtio-balloon
- Added support for per-NUMA node reporting for virtio-balloon

The RFC adds CONFIG_WSR and requires MGLRU to function. T.J. and I aim to support
the active/inactive LRU and working set estimation from the userspace as well.
This series should be build with the following configs:
CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y
CONFIG_LRU_GEN_ENABLED=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_WSR=y

TODO list:
- There's a hack in mm/vmscan.c that calls into the virtio-balloon driver,
  which doesn't work if CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m. T.J. Alumbaugh (talumbau@google.com)
  and I plan on solving this problem with a working set notification mechanism
  that would allow multiple consumers to subscribe for working set changes.
- memory.reaccess.histogram does not consider swapped out pages to be reaccessed.
  I plan to implement this with the shadow entry computed from mm/workingset.c.

T.J. Alumbaugh (1):
  virtio-balloon: Add Working Set reporting

Yuanchu Xie (5):
  mm: aggregate working set information into histograms
  mm: add working set refresh threshold to rate-limit aggregation
  mm: report working set when under memory pressure
  mm: extend working set reporting to memcgs
  mm: add per-memcg reaccess histogram
