This commit introduces a reference implementation of the address space
specific low level primitives for the virtual address space, so that
users of DAMON can easily monitor the data accesses on virtual address
spaces of specific processes by simply configuring the implementation to
be used by DAMON.

The low level primitives for the fundamental access monitoring are
defined in two parts:

1. Identification of the monitoring target address range for the address
   space.
2. Access check of specific address range in the target space.

The reference implementation for the virtual address space does the
works as below.

PTE Accessed-bit Based Access Check
-----------------------------------

The implementation uses PTE Accessed-bit for basic access checks.  That
is, it clears the bit for next sampling target page and checks whether
it set again after one sampling period.  This could disturb the reclaim
logic.  DAMON uses ``PG_idle`` and ``PG_young`` page flags to solve the
conflict, as Idle page tracking does.

VMA-based Target Address Range Construction
-------------------------------------------

Only small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of the
processes are mapped to physical memory and accessed.  Thus, tracking
the unmapped address regions is just wasteful.  However, because DAMON
can deal with some level of noise using the adaptive regions adjustment
mechanism, tracking every mapping is not strictly required but could
even incur a high overhead in some cases.  That said, too huge unmapped
areas inside the monitoring target should be removed to not take the
time for the adaptive mechanism.

For the reason, this implementation converts the complex mappings to
three distinct regions that cover every mapped area of the address
space.  Also, the two gaps between the three regions are the two biggest
unmapped areas in the given address space.  The two biggest unmapped
areas would be the gap between the heap and the uppermost mmap()-ed
region, and the gap between the lowermost mmap()-ed region and the stack
in most of the cases.  Because these gaps are exceptionally huge in
usual address spacees, excluding these will be sufficient to make a
reasonable trade-off.  Below shows this in detail::

    <heap>
    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 1>
    <uppermost mmap()-ed region>
    (small mmap()-ed regions and munmap()-ed regions)
    <lowermost mmap()-ed region>
    <BIG UNMAPPED REGION 2>
    <stack>

You need mmu_notifier_test_young() here. Hmm I remember mentioning
this in some previous version as well.

BTW have you tested this on a VM?

The patch looks good overall.

To let DAMON API users (in kernel space) and other primitives developers to use
those.

Your question and my answer was as below:

    > Don't you need mmu_notifier_clear_young() here?

    I think we don't need it here because we only read the Accessed bit and PG_Idle
    if Accessed bit was not set.

I should notice that you mean 'test_young()' but didn't, sorry.  I will add it
in the next version.

> BTW have you tested this on a VM?

Yes.  Indeed, I'm testing this on a QEMU/KVM environment.  You can get more
detail at: https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/latest/vm/damon/eval.html#setup

Thanks.  I will fix above things in the next version.

I should have said mmu_notifier_test_young() instead of
mmu_notifier_clear_young().

Hmm without mmu_notifier_test_young() you should be missing the kvm
mmu access updates. Can you please recheck if your eval is correctly
seeing the memory accesses from the VM?

Seems I didn't clearly answered, sorry.  My test setup installs the
DAMON-enabled kernel in a guest VM and run it for workloads in the guest,
rather than running DAMON in host to monitor accesses of VMs.  The MMU notifier
is for latter case, AFAIU, so my test setup didn't see the problem.

If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Just FYI.  I confirmed the mmu_notifier_test_young() added version works for
the use case.  I tested it by running a program accessing 200MB memory in a
QEMU/KVM guest having 120GB memory and monitoring the qemu process' virtual
address space from the host using DAMON.  The 200MB memory region was clearly
identifiable.
