DAMON is a Linux kernel subsystem that provides a framework for data access
monitoring and the monitoring results based system operations. The core

For easier development of such systems, DAMON provides a feature called DAMOS
(DAMon-based Operation Schemes) in addition to the monitoring. Using the
feature, DAMON users in both kernel and user spaces can do access-aware system
operations with no code but simple configurations.
