- Change vm_page_reclaim_contig[_domain] to return an errno instead
of a boolean. 0 indicates a successful reclaim, ENOMEM indicates
lack of available memory to reclaim, with any other error (currently
only ERANGE) indicating that reclamation is impossible for the
specified address range. Change all callers to only follow
up with vm_page_wait* in the ENOMEM case.
- Introduce vm_domainset_iter_ignore(), which marks the specified
domain as unavailable for further use by the iterator. Use this
function to ignore domains that can't possibly satisfy a physical
allocation request. Since WAITOK allocations run the iterators
repeatedly, this avoids the possibility of infinitely spinning
in domain iteration if no available domain can satisfy the
allocation request.

Booting an amd64 kernel on Firecracker with 1 CPU and 128 MB of RAM,
SYSINIT cpu takes roughly 2770 us:
* 2280 us in vm_ksubmap_init
* 535 us in kmem_malloc
* 450 us in pmap_zero_page
* 1720 us in pmap_growkernel
* 1620 us in pmap_zero_page
* 80 us in bufinit
* 480 us in cpu_setregs
* 430 us in cpu_setregs calling load_cr0
Much of this is hypervisor overhead: load_cr0 is slow because it traps
to the hypervisor, and 99% of the time in pmap_zero_page is spent when
we first touch the page, presumably due to the host Linux kernel
faulting in backing pages one by one.

The functions pbuf_init, kva_alloc, and keg_alloc_slab are significant
contributors to the kernel boot time when FreeBSD boots inside the
Firecracker VMM. Instrument them so they show up on flamecharts.
We added _NORECLAIM to request that kmem_alloc_contig_pages() not spend
time scanning physical memory for candidates to reclaim. In some
situations the scanning can induce large amounts of undesirable latency,
and it's less important that the request be satisfied than it is that we
not spend many milliseconds scanning.
The problem extends to vm_reserv_reclaim_contig(), which unlike
vm_reserv_reclaim() may have to scan the entire list of partially
populated reservations. Use VM_ALLOC_NORECLAIM to request that this
scan not be executed.[1]
As a side effect, this fixes a regression in 02fb0585e7 ("vm_page:

If a M_WAITOK contig alloc fails, the VM subsystem will try to
reclaim contiguous memory twice before actually failing the
request. On a system with 64GB of RAM I've observed this take
400-500ms before it finally gives up, and I believe that this
will only be worse on systems with even more memory.
In certain contexts this delay is extremely harmful, so add a flag
that will skip reclaim for allocation requests to allow those
paths to opt-out of doing an expensive reclaim.

On platforms without a direct map (i.e., platforms without
UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC defined), the boundary tag allocator reserves a
number of tags for use when allocating a new slab of boundary tags,
as such platforms require free boundary tags in order to allocate
boundary tags. r327899 increased the number of boundary tags required
for a KVA allocation in the worst case, and the aforementioned
reservation was not updated accordingly. In some cases, this could
lead to a system hang. Fix the problem by increasing this reservation.
Also reduce KVA_QUANTUM on systems lacking superpage support.
The previous import quantum (4MB with a 4KB page size) was quite large
for systems with limited KVA, and fragmentation in kernel_arena could
cause kernel memory allocation failures even with a substantial amount
of free KVA.

Remove malloc_domain(9) and most other _domain KPIs added in r327900.
The new functions allow the caller to specify a general NUMA domain
selection policy, rather than specifically requesting an allocation from
a specific domain. The latter policy tends to interact poorly with
M_WAITOK, resulting in situations where a caller is blocked indefinitely
because the specified domain is depleted. Most existing consumers of
the _domain KPIs are converted to instead use a DOMAINSET_PREF() policy,
in which we fall back to other domains to satisfy the allocation
request.
This change also defines a set of DOMAINSET_FIXED() policies, which

- In uma_prealloc(), we need to check for an empty domain before the
first allocation attempt, not after. Fix this by switching
uma_prealloc() to use a vm_domainset iterator, which addresses the
secondary issue of using a signed domain identifier in round-robin
iteration.
- Don't automatically create a page daemon for domain 0.
- In domainset_empty_vm(), recompute ds_cnt and ds_order after
excluding empty domains; otherwise we may frequently specify an empty
domain when calling in to the page allocator, wasting CPU time.
Convert DOMAINSET_PREF() policies for empty domains to round-robin.
- When freeing bootstrap pages, don't count them towards the per-domain
total page counts for now: some vm_phys segments are created before
the SRAT is parsed and are thus always identified as being in domain 0
even when they are not. Then, when bootstrap pages are freed, they
are added to a domain that we had previously thought was empty. Until
this is corrected, we simply exclude them from the per-domain page
count.

Before this change we had two flavours of vm_domainset iterators: "page"

behaviour based on kernel_object's policy. Moreover, its use contained
a race similar to that fixed by r338755 since the kernel_object's
iterator was being run without the object lock.
In some cases it is useful to be able to explicitly specify a policy
(domainset) or policy+iterator (domainset_ref) when performing memory
allocations. To that end, refactor the vm_dominset_* KPI to permit
this, and get rid of the "malloc" domainset_iter KPI in the process.

- not running the pageout deamon threads in empty domains
- adding defensive code to UMA to avoid allocating from empty domains
