To update effective size quota of DAMOS schemes on DAMON sysfs file
interface, user should write 'update_schemes_effective_quotas' to the
kdamond 'state' file. But the document is mistakenly saying the input
string as 'update_schemes_effective_bytes'. Fix it (s/bytes/quotas/).

The example usage of DAMOS filter sysfs files, specifically the part of
'matching' file writing for memcg type filter, is wrong. The intention is
to exclude pages of a memcg that already getting enough care from a given
scheme, but the example is setting the filter to apply the scheme to only
the pages of the memcg. Fix it.

Patch series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation
unignorable".
DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated in February 2023, by commit
5445fcbc4c ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs
interface deprecation notice"). Make the fact unable to be easily ignored
by removing an example usage from the document (patch 1), renaming the
config (patch 2), adding a deprecation notice file to the debugfs
directory (patches 3-5), and renaming the debugfs file that essnetial to
be used for real use of DAMON (patches 6-9).
This patch (of 9):
DAMON tracepoints example on the DAMON usage document is using DAMON
debugfs interface, which is deprecated. Use its alternative, DAMON sysfs
interface.

The documentation says DAMOS tried regions update feature of DAMON sysfs
interface is doing the update for one aggregation interval after the
request is made. Since the introduction of the per-scheme apply interval,
that behavior makes no much sense. Hence the implementation has changed
to update the regions for each scheme for only its apply interval.
Further update the document to reflect the real behavior.

DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated after >v5.15 LTS
kernel is released. And v6.1.y has been announced to be an LTS[1].
Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not have
noticed that so far. Also, some users could depend on it and have
problems at movng to the alternative (DAMON sysfs interface).
For such cases, keep the code and documents with warning messages and
contacts to ask helps for the deprecation.

DAMON debugfs interface assumes the users will write all inputs at once.
However, redirecting a string of multiple lines sometimes end up writing
line by line. Therefore, the example usage of 'init_regions' file, which
writes input as a string of multiple lines can fail. Fix it to use a
single line string instead. Also update the description of the usage to
not assume users will write inputs in multiple lines.

linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any negative
reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam R. Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slight more efficient in its own right,
but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAOUHufZabH85CeUN-MEMgL8gJGzJEWUrkiM58JkTbBhh-jew0Q@mail.gmail.com).
This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately timed
vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down to
the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to support
file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and memory-failure
- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure
- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.
- memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

Commit b18402726b ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: document DAMON
sysfs interface") announced the DAMON debugfs interface deprecation plan,
but it is not so aggressively announced. As the deprecation time is
coming, this commit makes the announce more easy to be found by adding the
note at the beginning of the DAMON debugfs interface usage document.

The workflow example code is not working since it got the file names
wrong. So fix this.
