Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives". In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context (struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem will be bigger. To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically searched and selected by the user code. In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what it means and how it would be structed. This patch (of 8): DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood, this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is too late to rename.
