[RFC v2 3/9] mm/damon: Make monitoring target regions init/update configurable

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Jun 03 2020 - 10:13:32 EST


From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

This commit allows DAMON users to configure their own monitoring target
regions initializer / updater. Using this, users can confine the
monitoring address spaces as they want. For example, users can track
only stack, heap, shared memory area, or specific file-backed area, as
they want.
