[RFC v7 08/10] tools/damon/record: Support physical memory monitoring

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 03:28:25 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit allows users to record the data accesses on physical memory
address space by passing 'paddr' as target to 'damo-record'. If the
init regions are given, the regions will be monitored. Else, it will
monitor biggest conitguous 'System RAM' region in '/proc/iomem' and
monitor the region.
