--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit 4472edf63d6630e6cf65e205b4fc8c3c94d0afe5 ]

DAMON sleeps for sampling interval after each sampling, and check if the aggregation interval and the ops update interval have passed using ktime_get_coarse_ts64() and baseline timestamps for the intervals. That design is for making the operations occur at deterministic timing regardless of the time that spend for each work. However, it turned out it is not that useful, and incur not-that-intuitive results.

After all, timer functions, and especially sleep functions that DAMON uses to wait for specific timing, are not necessarily strictly accurate. It is legal design, so no problem. However, depending on such inaccuracies, the nr_accesses can be larger than aggregation interval divided by sampling interval. For example, with the default setting (5 ms sampling interval and 100 ms aggregation interval) we frequently show regions having nr_accesses larger than 20. Also, if the execution of a DAMOS scheme takes a long time, next aggregation could happen before enough number of samples are collected. This is not what usual users would intuitively expect.

Since access check sampling is the smallest unit work of DAMON, using the number of passed sampling intervals as the DAMON-internal timer can easily avoid these problems. That is, convert aggregation and ops update intervals to numbers of sampling intervals that need to be passed before those operations be executed, count the number of passed sampling intervals, and invoke the operations as soon as the specific amount of sampling intervals passed. Make the change.

Note that this could make a behavioral change to settings that using intervals that not aligned by the sampling interval. For example, if the sampling interval is 5 ms and the aggregation interval is 12 ms, DAMON effectively uses 15 ms as its aggregation interval, because it checks whether the aggregation interval after sleeping the sampling interval. This change will make DAMON to effectively use 10 ms as aggregation interval, since it uses 'aggregation interval / sampling interval * sampling interval' as the effective aggregation interval, and we don't use floating point types. Usual users would have used aligned intervals, so this behavioral change is not expected to make any meaningful impact, so just make this change.
