This commit introduces the main logic of DAMON. Because this commit is
for the core logic only, it lacks an external interface to run DAMON.
Following commit will add the interface.
----
DAMON is a kernel module that allows users to monitor the actual memory
access pattern of specific user-space processes. It aims to be 1)
accurate enough to be useful for performance-centric domains, and 2)
sufficiently light-weight so that it can be applied online.
For the goals, DAMON utilizes its two core mechanisms, called
region-based sampling and adaptive regions adjustment. The region-based
sampling allows users to make their own trade-off between the quality
and the overhead of the monitoring and set the upperbound of the
monitoring overhead. Further, the adaptive regions adjustment mechanism
makes DAMON to maximize the quality and minimize the overhead with its
best efforts while preserving the users configured trade-off.
Expected Use-cases
==================
A straightforward usecase of DAMON would be the program behavior
analysis. With the DAMON output, users can confirm whether the program
is running as intended or not. This will be useful for debuggings and
tests of design points.
The monitored results can also be useful for counting the dynamic
working set size of workloads. For the administration of memory
overcommitted systems or selection of the environments (e.g., containers
providing different amount of memory) for your workloads, this will be
useful.
If you are a programmer, you can optimize your program by managing the
memory based on the actual data access pattern. For example, you can
identify the dynamic hotness of your data using DAMON and call
``mlock()`` to keep your hot data in DRAM, or call ``madvise()`` with
``MADV_PAGEOUT`` to proactively reclaim cold data. Even though your
program is guaranteed to not encounter memory pressure, you can still
improve the performance by applying the DAMON outputs for call of
``MADV_HUGEPAGE`` and ``MADV_NOHUGEPAGE``. More creative optimizations
would be possible. Our evaluations of DAMON includes a straightforward
optimization using the ``mlock()``. Please refer to the below
Evaluation section for more detail.
As DAMON incurs very low overhead, such optimizations can be applied not
only offline, but also online. Also, there is no reason to limit such
optimizations to the user space. Several parts of the kernel's memory
management mechanisms could be also optimized using DAMON. The
reclamation, the THP (de)promotion decisions, and the compaction would
be such a candidates. Nevertheless, current version of DAMON is not
highly optimized for the online/in-kernel uses.
Mechanisms of DAMON
===================
Basic Access Check
------------------
DAMON basically reports what pages are how frequently accessed. The
report is passed to users in binary format via a ``result file`` which
users can set it's path. Note that the frequency is not an absolute
number of accesses, but a relative frequency among the pages of the
target workloads.
Users can also control the resolution of the reports by setting two time
intervals, ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``. In
detail, DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval``,
aggregates the results (counts the number of the accesses to each page),
and reports the aggregated results per ``aggregation interval``. For
the access check of each page, DAMON uses the Accessed bits of PTEs.
This is thus similar to the previously mentioned periodic access checks
based mechanisms, which overhead is increasing as the size of the target
process grows.
Region Based Sampling
---------------------
To avoid the unbounded increase of the overhead, DAMON groups a number
of adjacent pages that assumed to have same access frequencies into a
region. As long as the assumption (pages in a region have same access
frequencies) is kept, only one page in the region is required to be
checked. Thus, for each ``sampling interval``, DAMON randomly picks one
page in each region and clears its Accessed bit. After one more
``sampling interval``, DAMON reads the Accessed bit of the page and
increases the access frequency of the region if the bit has set
meanwhile. Therefore, the monitoring overhead is controllable by
setting the number of regions. DAMON allows users to set the minimal
and maximum number of regions for the trade-off.
Except the assumption, this is almost same with the above-mentioned
miniature-like static region based sampling. In other words, this
scheme cannot preserve the quality of the output if the assumption is
not guaranteed.
Adaptive Regions Adjustment
---------------------------
At the beginning of the monitoring, DAMON constructs the initial regions
by evenly splitting the memory mapped address space of the process into
the user-specified minimal number of regions. In this initial state,
the assumption is normally not kept and thus the quality could be low.
To keep the assumption as much as possible, DAMON adaptively merges and
splits each region. For each ``aggregation interval``, it compares the
access frequencies of adjacent regions and merges those if the frequency
difference is small. Then, after it reports and clears the aggregated
access frequency of each region, it splits each region into two regions
if the total number of regions is smaller than the half of the
user-specified maximum number of regions.
In this way, DAMON provides its best-effort quality and minimal overhead
while keeping the bounds users set for their trade-off.
Applying Dynamic Memory Mappings
--------------------------------
Only a number of small parts in the super-huge virtual address space of
the processes is mapped to physical memory and accessed. Thus, tracking
the unmapped address regions is just wasteful. However, tracking every
memory mapping change might incur an overhead. For the reason, DAMON
applies the dynamic memory mapping changes to the tracking regions only
for each of a user-specified time interval (``regions update
interval``).
