The recommended ways for getting DAMON monitoring results are using
tried_regions sysfs directory for partial snapshot of the results, and
DAMON tracepoint for full record of the results.  However, the
tried_regions sysfs directory usage has not sufficiently updated on some
sections of the DAMON usage document.  Update those.

DAMON user-space tool, damo, has deprecated[1] its old DAMOS schemes
specification format.  However, an example of DAMON documentation is still
using it.  Update the example to use one of the alternative options.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
   testing of our pte state changing.

 - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

 - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

 - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
   selftests/mm code.

 - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
   pages.

 - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

 - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
   per-process and per-cgroup basis.

This adds the general_profit KSM sysfs knob and the process profit metric
knobs to ksm_stat.

1) expose general_profit metric

   The documentation mentions a general profit metric, however this
   metric is not calculated.  In addition the formula depends on the size
   of internal structures, which makes it more difficult for an
   administrator to make the calculation.  Adding the metric for a better
   user experience.

2) document general_profit sysfs knob

3) calculate ksm process profit metric

   The ksm documentation mentions the process profit metric and how to
   calculate it.  This adds the calculation of the metric.

4) mm: expose ksm process profit metric in ksm_stat

   This exposes the ksm process profit metric in /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/ksm_stat.
   The documentation mentions the formula for the ksm process profit
   metric, however it does not calculate it.  In addition the formula
   depends on the size of internal structures.  So it makes sense to
   expose it.

5) document new procfs ksm knobs
