[PATCH v17 05/15] mm/damon: Track dynamic monitoring target regions update

[SeongJae Park]

From: SeongJae Park <sjpark@xxxxxxxxx>

The monitoring target address range can be dynamically changed.  For
example, virtual memory could be dynamically mapped and unmapped.
Physical memory could be hot-plugged.

As the changes could be quite frequent in some cases, DAMON checks the
dynamic memory mapping changes and applies it to the abstracted target
area only for each of a user-specified time interval, ``regions update
interval``.
