I rewrote this to
implement DAMOS filtering for anon pages and/or specific memory cgroups

Thanks, SJ
Changes from RFC v2 (https://lore.kernel.org/damon/20221130200937.118005-1-sj@kernel.org/) - Rebased on latest mm-unstable ---- DAMOS let users do system operations in a data access pattern oriented way. The data access pattern, which is extracted by DAMON, is somewhat accurate more than what user space could know in many cases. However, in some situation, users could know something more than the kernel about the pattern or some special requirements for some types of memory or processes. For example, some users would have slow swap devices and knows latency-ciritical processes and therefore want to use DAMON-based proactive reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM) for only non-anonymous pages of non-latency-critical processes. For such restriction, users could exclude the memory regions from the initial monitoring regions and use non-dynamic monitoring regions update monitoring operations set including fvaddr and paddr. They could also adjust the DAMOS target access pattern. For dynamically changing memory layout and access pattern, those would be not enough. To help the case, add an interface, namely DAMOS filters, which can be used to avoid the DAMOS actions be applied to specific types of memory, to DAMON kernel API (damon.h). At the moment, it supports filtering anonymous pages and/or specific memory cgroups in or out for each DAMOS scheme. This patchset adds the support for all DAMOS actions that 'paddr' monitoring operations set supports ('pageout', 'lru_prio', and 'lru_deprio'), and the functionality is exposed via DAMON kernel API (damon.h) the DAMON sysfs interface (/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admins/), and DAMON_RECLAIM module parameters. Patches Sequence ---------------- First patch implements DAMOS filter interface to DAMON kernel API. Second patch makes the physical address space monitoring operations set to support the filters from all supporting DAMOS actions. Third patch adds anonymous pages filter support to DAMON_RECLAIM, and the fourth patch documents the DAMON_RECLAIM's new feature. Fifth to seventh patches implement DAMON sysfs files for support of the filters, and eighth patch connects the file to use DAMOS filters feature. Ninth patch adds simple self test cases for DAMOS filters of the sysfs interface. Finally, following two patches (tenth and eleventh) document the new features and interfaces.
