Function vm_reserv_reclaim_contig breaks a reservation with enough
free space to satisfy an allocation request and returns the free space
to the buddy allocator. Change the function to allocate the request
memory from the reservation before breaking it, and return that memory
to the caller. That avoids a second call to the buddy allocator and
guarantees successful allocation after breaking the reservation, where
that success is not currently guaranteed.

We were not properly handling the case where the trylock of the
reservaton fails, in which case we could leak reservation lock.
Introduce a marker reservation to implement precise scanning in
vm_reserv_reclaim_contig(). Before, a race could result in early
termination of the scan in rare situations. Use the marker's lock to
serialize scans of the partpop queue so that a global marker structure
can be used. Modify vm_reserv_reclaim_inactive() to handle the presence
of a marker while minimizing the hold time of domain-global locks.

This allows us to allocate and free from reservations without the free lock
except where a superpage is allocated from the physical layer, which is
roughly 1/512 of the operations on amd64.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

address and use this mechanism when:
1. kmem_alloc_{attr,contig}() can't find suitable free pages in the physical
memory allocator's free page lists. This replaces the long-standing
approach of scanning the inactive and inactive queues, converting clean
pages into PG_CACHED pages and laundering dirty pages. In contrast, the
new mechanism does not use PG_CACHED pages nor does it trigger a large
number of I/O operations.
2. on 32-bit MIPS processors, uma_small_alloc() and the pmap can't find
free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists that are
covered by the direct map. Tested by: adrian
3. ttm_bo_global_init() and ttm_vm_page_alloc_dma32() can't find suitable
free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists.
In the coming months, I expect that this new mechanism will be applied in
other places. For example, balloon drivers should use relocation to
minimize fragmentation of the guest physical address space.
Make vm_phys_alloc_contig() a little smarter (and more efficient in some
cases). Specifically, use vm_phys_segs[] earlier to avoid scanning free
page lists that can't possibly contain suitable pages.

that is allocated by contigmalloc(), kmem_alloc_attr(), and
kmem_alloc_contig() can be promoted to superpages. In fact, even a series
of small contigmalloc() allocations may collectively result in a promoted
superpage.

the rewrite of the physical memory allocator.) The remainder of the
code required for superpages support is machine-dependent and will

Initially, I am only supporting one large page size per architecture.
Moreover, I am only enabling the reservation system on amd64. (In
an emergency, it can be disabled by setting VM_NRESERVLEVELS to 0
in amd64/include/vmparam.h or your kernel configuration file.)
