[PATCH v19 07/15] mm/damon: Implement access pattern recording

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Tue Aug 04 2020 - 05:17:32 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

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 widely used, this commit implements the
feature in the DAMON, for more convenience.
