H A Ddamon.hf23b8eee Tue Sep 07 21:56:32 CDT 2021 SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de> mm/damon/core: implement region-based sampling

To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups adjacent
pages that are assumed to have the same access frequencies into a
region. As long as the assumption (pages in a region have the same
access frequencies) is kept, only one page in the region is required to
be checked. Thus, for each ``sampling interval``,

1. the 'prepare_access_checks' primitive picks one page in each region,
2. waits for one ``sampling interval``,
3. checks whether the page is accessed meanwhile, and
4. increases the access count of the region if so.

Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by adjusting the
number of regions. DAMON allows both the underlying primitives and user
callbacks to adjust regions for the trade-off. In other words, this
commit makes DAMON to use not only time-based sampling but also
space-based sampling.

This scheme, however, cannot preserve the quality of the output if the
assumption is not guaranteed. Next commit will address this problem.
