[RFC v2 7/7] mm/damon/sysfs: support paddr_fault

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Sun Jul 27 2025 - 16:19:31 EST


Extend DAMON sysfs interface to support the page faults based physical
address space access monitoring. Users can use it by writing
paddr_fault to the ops file. For simple testing, the DAMON user-space
tool can be used as below, after applying below hack.
