[PATCH] mm/damon: add damos_node_eligible_mem_bp tracepoint

From: Ravi Jonnalagadda

Date: Sat Oct 03 2026 - 16:27:41 EST


Add a tracepoint for DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_ELIGIBLE_MEM_BP quota goal
evaluation. The tracepoint fires once per quota-score computation when
the goal metric is DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_ELIGIBLE_MEM_BP, exposing
context_idx, scheme_idx, nid, target_value, and current_value.
current_value is reported as the quota tuning sees it, after the goal's
complement setting is applied.

The DAMOS_QUOTA_NODE_ELIGIBLE_MEM_BP metric expresses node memory
occupancy as basis points of eligible bytes. This information is not
exposed through any existing external interface (perf stat, /proc, or
sysfs), so the tracepoint is the only way for userspace to observe the
target and current eligible-memory basis point values at quota-scoring
time.
