[PATCH 4/4] mm/damon: Hide kernel pointer from tracepoint event
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Dec 29 2021 - 08:10:44 EST
DAMON's virtual address spaces monitoring primitive uses 'struct pid *'
of the target process as its monitoring target id. The kernel address
is exposed as-is to the user space via the DAMON tracepoint,
'damon_aggregated'. Though primarily only privileged users are allowed
to access that, it would be better to avoid unnecessarily exposing
kernel pointers so. Because the trace result is only required to be
able to distinguish each target, we aren't need to use the pointer
as-is. This commit makes the tracepoint to use the index of the target
in the context's targets list as its id in the tracepoint, to hide the
kernel space address.
