When the compute is malfunctioning or performance drops, the system admin
will use SMI (System Management Interface) tool to monitor/diagnostic what
went wrong. This patch provides an event watch interface for the user
space to register devices and subscribe events they are interested. After
registered, the user can use annoymous file descriptor's poll function
with wait-time specified and wait for events to happen. Once an event
happens, the user can use read() to retrieve information related to the
event.
VM fault event is done in this patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
