vangyzen 6e00d86b09 Save the last callout function executed on each CPU
Save the last callout function pointer (and its argument) executed
on each CPU for inspection by a debugger.  Add a ddb `show callout_last`
command to show these pointers.  Add a kernel module that I used
for testing that command.

Relocate `ce_migration_cpu` to reduce padding and therefore preserve
the size of `struct callout_cpu` (320 bytes on amd64) despite the
added members.

This should help diagnose reference-after-free bugs where the
callout's mutex has already been freed when `softclock_call_cc`
tries to unlock it.

You might hope that the pointer would still be available, but it
isn't.  The argument to that function is on the stack (because
`softclock_call_cc` uses it later), and that might be enough in
some cases, but even then, it's very laborious.  A pointer to the
callout is saved right before these newly added fields, but that
callout might have been freed.  We still have the pointer to its
associated mutex, and the name within might be enough, but it might
also have been freed.

$FreeBSD$

This directory is for standalone test programs.  For the FreeBSD
Test Suite, which uses Kyua, please see /usr/src/tests/

A test program is one that exercises a particular bit of the system
and either tries to break it or measures its performance.

Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file.

auxinfo		Return information on page sizes, CPUs, and OS release date.
devrandom	Programs to test /dev/*random.
hwpmc		Automatically trigger every event in hwpmc(4).
iconv		Character set conversion tests.
malloc		A program to test and benchmark malloc().
net		A set of generic test programs for networking.
netfibs		Programs to test multi-FIB network stacks.
posixshm	A program to test POSIX shared memory.
ppsapi		Test 1 Pulse Per Second (1PPS) input for time control.
pthread_vfork	Check that vfork and pthreads work together.
ptrace		Verify that ptrace works with syscalls, vfork etc.
sort		Tests for the sort command, including a full regression.
testfloat	Programs to test floating-point implementations
upsdl		Test of mmap functionality.
