r351198 allows the kernel to use domain-local memory to back the vm_page

purpose. One consequence of that change is that the vm_page array is no
longer present in minidumps, which only adds pages mapped above
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS.
To avoid the friction caused by having kernel data structures mapped

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

- 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"
and "malloc". The latter was only used for kmem_*() and hard-coded its
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.

Rather than having 4 memory controllers, one per NUMA domain, it has

4 NUMA domains can be populated with physical memory, and the
others are empty.
Add support to FreeBSD for empty NUMA domains by:
- creating empty memory domains when parsing the SRAT table,
rather than failing to parse the table
- not running the pageout deamon threads in empty domains
- adding defensive code to UMA to avoid allocating from empty domains
- adding defensive code to cpuset to avoid binding to an empty domain

Most kernel memory that is allocated after boot does not need to be
executable. There are a few exceptions. For example, kernel modules
do need executable memory, but they don't use UMA or malloc(9). The
BPF JIT compiler also needs executable memory and did use malloc(9)
until r317072.
(Note that a side effect of r316767 was that the "small allocation"
path in UMA on amd64 already returned non-executable memory. This
meant that some calls to malloc(9) or the UMA zone(9) allocator could
return executable memory, while others could return non-executable
memory. This change makes the behavior consistent.)
This change makes malloc(9) return non-executable memory unless the new
M_EXEC flag is specified. After this change, the UMA zone(9) allocator
will always return non-executable memory, and a KASSERT will catch
attempts to use the M_EXEC flag to allocate executable memory using
uma_zalloc() or its variants.
Allocations that do need executable memory have various choices. They
may use the M_EXEC flag to malloc(9), or they may use a different VM
interfact to obtain executable pages.
Now that malloc(9) again allows executable allocations, this change also
reverts most of r317072.

Upon each execve, we allocate a KVA range for use in copying data to the
new image. Pages must be faulted into the range, and when the range is
freed, the backing pages are freed and their mappings are destroyed. This
is a lot of needless overhead, and the exec_map management becomes a
bottleneck when many CPUs are executing execve concurrently. Moreover, the
number of available ranges is fixed at 16, which is insufficient on large
systems and potentially excessive on 32-bit systems.
The new allocator reduces overhead by making exec_map allocations
persistent. When a range is freed, pages backing the range are marked clean
