SeongJae Park fabdd1e911 mm/damon/stat: calculate and expose estimated memory bandwidth
The raw form of DAMON's monitoring results captures many details of the
information.  However, not every bit of the information is always required
for understanding practical access patterns.  Especially on real world
production systems of high scale time and size, the raw form is difficult
to be aggregated and compared.

Convert the raw monitoring results into a single number metric, namely
estimated memory bandwidth and expose it to users as a read-only
DAMON_STAT parameter.  The metric represents access intensiveness
(hotness) of the system.  It can easily be aggregated and compared for
high level understanding of the access pattern on large systems.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
