Patch series "mm/damon: add optional debugging-purpose sanity checks".

DAMON code has a few assumptions that can be critical if violated. 
Validating the assumptions in code can be useful at finding such critical
bugs.  I was actually adding some such additional sanity checks in my
personal tree, and those were useful at finding bugs that I made during
the development of new patches.  We also found [1] sometimes the
assumptions are misunderstood.  The validation can work as good
documentation for such cases.

Add some of such debugging purpose sanity checks.  Because those
additional checks can impose more overhead, make those only optional via
new config, CONFIG_DAMON_DEBUG_SANITY, that is recommended for only
development and test setups.  And as recommended, enable it for DAMON
kunit tests and selftests.

Note that the verification only WARN_ON() for each of the insanity.  The
developer or tester may better to set panic_on_oops together, like
damon-tests/corr did [2].


This patch (of 10):

Add a new build config that will enable additional DAMON sanity checks. 
It is recommended to be enabled on only development and test setups, since
it can impose additional overhead.

Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical
access monitoring", v2.

DAMON-based access monitoring is not simple due to required DAMON control
and results visualizations.  Introduce a static kernel module for making
it simple.  The module can be enabled without manual setup and provides
access pattern metrics that easy to fetch and understand the practical
access pattern information, namely estimated memory bandwidth and memory
idle time percentiles.

Background and Problems
=======================

DAMON can be used for monitoring data access patterns of the system and
workloads.  Specifically, users can start DAMON to monitor access events
on specific address space with fine controls including address ranges to
monitor and time intervals between samplings and aggregations.  The
resulting access information snapshot contains access frequency
(nr_accesses) and how long the frequency was kept (age) for each byte.

The monitoring usage is not simple and practical enough for production
usage.  Users should first start DAMON with a number of parameters, and
wait until DAMON's monitoring results capture a reasonable amount of the
time data (age).  In production, such manual start and wait is impractical
to capture useful information from a high number of machines in a timely
manner.

The monitoring result is also too detailed to be used on production
environments.  The raw results are hard to be aggregated and/or compared
for production environments having a large scale of time, space and
machines fleet.

Users have to implement and use their own automation of DAMON control and
results processing.  It is repetitive and challenging since there is no
good reference or guideline for such automation.

Solution: DAMON_STAT
====================

Implement such automation in kernel space as a static kernel module,
namely DAMON_STAT.  It can be enabled at build, boot, or run time via its
build configuration or module parameter.  It monitors the entire physical
address space with monitoring intervals that auto-tuned for a reasonable
amount of access observations and minimum overhead.  It converts the raw
monitoring results into simpler metrics that can easily be aggregated and
compared, namely estimated memory bandwidth and idle time percentiles.

Understanding of the metrics and the user interface of DAMON_STAT is
essential.  Refer to the commit messages of the second and the third
patches of this patch series for more details about the metrics.  For the
user interface, the standard module parameters system is used.  Refer to
the fourth patch of this patch series for details of the user interface.

Discussions
===========

The module aims to be useful on production environments constructed with a
large number of machines that run a long time.  The auto-tuned monitoring
intervals ensure a reasonable quality of the outputs.  The auto-tuning
also ensures its overhead be reasonable and low enough to be enabled
always on the production.  The simplified monitoring results metrics can
be useful for showing both coldness (idle time percentiles) and hotness
(memory bandwidth) of the system's access pattern.  We expect the
information can be useful for assessing system memory utilization and
inspiring optimizations or investigations on both kernel and user space
memory management logics for large scale fleets.

We hence expect the module is good enough to be just used in most
environments.  For special cases that require a custom access monitoring
automation, users will still benefit by using DAMON_STAT as a reference or
a guideline for their specialized automation.


This patch (of 4):

To use DAMON for monitoring access patterns of the system, users should
manually start DAMON via DAMON sysfs ABI with a number of parameters for
specifying the monitoring target address space, address ranges, and
monitoring intervals.  After that, users should also wait until desired
amount of time data is captured into DAMON's monitoring results.  It is
bothersome and take a long time to be practical for access monitoring on
large fleet level production environments.

For access-aware system operations use cases like proactive cold memory
reclamation, similar problems existed.  We we solved those by introducing
dedicated static kernel modules such as DAMON_RECLAIM.

Implement such static kernel module for access monitoring, namely
DAMON_STAT.  It monitors the entire physical address space with auto-tuned
monitoring intervals.  The auto-tuning is set to capture 4 % of observable
access events in each snapshot while keeping the sampling intervals 5
milliseconds in minimum and 10 seconds in maximum.  From a few production
environments, we confirmed this setup provides high quality monitoring
results with minimum overheads.  The module therefore receives only one
user input, whether to enable or disable it.  It can be set on build or
boot time via build configuration or kernel boot command line.  It can
also be overridden at runtime.

Note that this commit only implements the DAMON control part of the
module.  Users could get the monitoring results via damon:damon_aggregated
tracepoint, but that's of course not the recommended way.  Following
commits will implement convenient and optimized ways for serving the
monitoring results to users.

As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon,
Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON (set
CONFIG_DAMON[1]).  Enabling it by default will save configuration setup
time for the current and future DAMON users.

Build-enabling DAMON does not introduce a real risk since it makes no
behavioral change by default.  It requires explicit user requests to do
anything.  Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel a
little bit larger.  On a production-purpose configuration, it increases
the resulting kernel package size by about 0.1 % of the final package
file.  I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common setups.

Hence, the benefit of enabling CONFIG_DAMON outweighs the potential risk. 
Set CONFIG_DAMON by default.

Patch series "mm/damon: build-enable essential DAMON components by
default".

As of this writing, multiple major distros including Alma, Amazon,
Android, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, and Oracle are build-enabling DAMON (set
CONFIG_DAMON[1]).  Configuring DAMON is not very easy, since it is
disabled by default, and there are multiple essential options that need to
be manually turned on, one by one.  Make it easier, by grouping essential
configurations to be enabled with one selection, and enabling build of the
essential parts of DAMON by default.

Note that build-enabling DAMON does not introduce any real risk, since it
makes no behavioral change by default.  It requires explicit user requests
to do anything.  Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel
a little bit larger.  On a production-purpose configuration, it increases
the resulting kernel package binary size by about 0.1 % of the final
package file.  I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common
setups.

DAMON_{VADDR,PADDR,SYSFS} are de-facto essential parts of DAMON for normal
usages.  Because those need to be enabled one by one, however, and there
are other test-purpose or non-essential configurations, it is easy to be
confused and make mistakes at setup.  Make the essential configurations
default to CONFIG_DAMON, so that those can be enabled by default with a
single change.

makes no behavioral change by default.  It requires explicit user requests
to do anything.  Only one potential risk is making the size of the kernel
a little bit larger.  On a production-purpose configuration, it increases
the resulting kernel package binary size by about 0.1 % of the final
package file.  I believe that's too small to be a real problem in common
setups.

DAMON_{VADDR,PADDR,SYSFS} are de-facto essential parts of DAMON for normal
usages.  Because those need to be enabled one by one, however, and there
are other test-purpose or non-essential configurations, it is easy to be
confused and make mistakes at setup.  Make the essential configurations
default to CONFIG_DAMON, so that those can be enabled by default with a
single change.
