[PATCH v20 10/15] damon/debugfs: Support pidfd target id

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Mon Aug 17 2020 - 06:56:40 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

DAMON programming interface users are safe from pid recycling problem
since it uses 'struct pid *' as target id. However, debugfs interface
users might still get the problem since they should describe the target
ids with pid numbers.

This commit makes the debugfs interface to support pidfd target ids.
Using it, debugfs interface users can also easily be safe from the
races. That said, the pid numbers are stil supported for the simple
command line uses.

The pid numbers target ids usages are same to the old one. Therefore,
old users don't need to change anything. To use pidfd target ids, users
should add a prefix, 'pidfd ' in front of the numbers. Because pidfd is
process private, reading 'target_ids' file again will show pid numbers
of the target processes.
