Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] cachestat: implement cachestat syscall

Implement a new syscall that queries cache state of a file and
summarizes the number of cached pages, number of dirty pages, number of
pages marked for writeback, number of (recently) evicted pages, etc. in
a given range.

NAME
    cachestat - query the page cache statistics of a file.

SYNOPSIS
    #include <sys/mman.h>

    struct cachestat {
        __u64 nr_cache;
        __u64 nr_dirty;
        __u64 nr_writeback;
        __u64 nr_evicted;
        __u64 nr_recently_evicted;
    };

    int cachestat(unsigned int fd, off_t off, size_t len,
          size_t cstat_size, struct cachestat *cstat,
          unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION
    cachestat() queries the number of cached pages, number of dirty
    pages, number of pages marked for writeback, number of evicted
    pages, number of recently evicted pages, in the bytes range given by
    `off` and `len`.

    An evicted page is a page that is previously in the page cache but
    has been evicted since. A page is recently evicted if its last
    eviction was recent enough that its reentry to the cache would
    indicate that it is actively being used by the system, and that
    there is memory pressure on the system.

    These values are returned in a cachestat struct, whose address is
    given by the `cstat` argument.

    The `off` and `len` arguments must be non-negative integers. If
    `len` > 0, the queried range is [`off`, `off` + `len`]. If `len` ==
    0, we will query in the range from `off` to the end of the file.

    `cstat_size` allows users to obtain partial results. The syscall
    will copy the first `csstat_size` bytes to the specified userspace
    memory. `cstat_size` must be a non-negative value that is no larger
    than the current size of the cachestat struct.

    The `flags` argument is unused for now, but is included for future
    extensibility. User should pass 0 (i.e no flag specified).

RETURN VALUE
    On success, cachestat returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno
    is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
    EFAULT cstat points to an invalid address.

    EINVAL invalid `cstat_size` or `flags`

    EBADF  invalid file descriptor.
