DAMOS ops filter therefore supports filtering memory based on the information. Using it, the information can be extracted in the folio granularity. It is precise but expensive. DAMON probe filter is the complementary way for getting the information in region granularity with much cheaper cost. DAMON filter does not support LRU-activeness based filtering, though. Add the support. Define new DAMON filter type, DAMON_FILTER_TYPE_ACTIVE, on core API (patch 1). Add support for it on both vaddr and paddr operation set (patch 2). Extend DAMON filter sysfs ABI to let users configure DAMON filters of the type using a new keyword, "active" (patch 3). Finally, update the DAMON design document to explain the new type (patch 4). Test ==== Confirmed the functionality like below. First, start masim [1] to generate a ~476 MiB hot memory region. $ ./masim.py run --config_file ./configs/stairs-500mb.cfg --repeat 10 Second, start DAMON to monitor data access and active memory ratio of each region using DAMON user-space tool (damo) [2]. $ sudo ./damo start --target_pid $(pidof masim) \ --probe --probe_prep set_pgidle \ --probe_filter allow pgidle_unset \ --probe --probe_filter allow active \ --probe_weight 1 0 Show the monitoring results. $ sudo ./damo report attrs heatmap: 00008[...]82222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222257777789999998888888874444445[...]8 # min/max temperatures: -1,580,000,000, 100,002,000, column size: 62.841 MiB probes - prep: set_pgidle, filter: allow pgidle_unset (weight: 1) - allow active (weight: 0) intervals: sample 5 ms aggr 100 ms (max probe hits 20) # size address age probe_hits 0 253.047 MiB 85.984 TiB 15.800 s 0 0 1 4.000 KiB 127.984 TiB 15.400 s 0 20 2 120.000 KiB 127.984 TiB 15.300 s 0 0 3 1.450 GiB 127.407 TiB 11.300 s 0 0 4 498.738 MiB 127.409 TiB 11.200 s 0 0 5 500.273 MiB 127.409 TiB 11.100 s 0 0 6 502.055 MiB 127.409 TiB 10.900 s 0 0 7 461.926 MiB 127.411 TiB 6.500 s 0 0 8 351.754 MiB 127.410 TiB 1.600 s 0 0 9 497.930 MiB 127.411 TiB 0 ns 1 0 10 8.000 KiB 127.984 TiB 0 ns 6 0 11 476.340 MiB 127.410 TiB 1 s 20 0 memory bw estimate: 0 B per second total size: 4.909 GiB record DAMON intervals: sample 5 ms, aggr 100 ms The second (idx 1) 4 KiB memory region is not accessed for 15 seconds and the page for the region is on an active LRU list.
