Building on the excellent codetag/alloc_tag infrastructure recently added to Linux, I've got an initial implementation of per-call-site kmalloc cache isolation:

It's sure to give @vbabka nightmares and frustrate shared-cache use-after-free exploits. 😁

We are looking for DAMON recipes that I could share on upcoming OSSummit EU, or (hopefully) DAMON microconf at LPC'25: https://lore.kernel.org/20240724222119.58477-1-sj@kernel.org

DAMON user-space tool, damo, v2.4.3[1] is now available. The version supports showing access pattern, memory footprints, and hotspot functions all at once on live. An animated-gif for that is available[2].

I created a logo for DAMON using DAMON, just for fun.

You could also create some for yourself. For detailed instructions: https://sjp38.github.io/post/damon_heatmap_logo/

ATC'24 also published two DAMON-citing papers at the same time. The first one[1] proposes a way to improve monitoring accuracy of DAMON, while the second one[2] mentions DAMON can be useful for extensible memory management (mm-ext? ;) ).

DAMO v2.4.2 [1] is out. It makes the report more holistic with hotspot functions in addition to the heatmap, wss, and memory footprints. Refer to USAGE[2] for details and an example report.

I just posted DAMON quaterly news letter for 2024-Q2.

Highlights of highlights: DAMON gained a feature for CXL-based tiered memory management. HacKerMaiL (hkml), a simple mailing tool that DAMON maintainer is developing, made an official commitment to support DAMON community.

As the DAMON maintainer and an AWS employee, I _strive_ to be the best employer of DAMON community. Assisting onboarding of new members is an important part of it.

I'm hence marking[1] 'HacKerMaiL' as a mailing tool for DAMON community that the maintainer is committed to support.
