In each module employing a priming read at 'new' time,
should that read fail, a call to 'unref' will be made.
However, there is a hidden dependency that these calls
must never occur before the context 'refcount' was set
due to the way an 'unref' conditional was constructed.
So this commit just ensures that 'unref' will function
as expected, even if called with a 'refcount' of zero.

The commit (merge) referenced below added some useless
trailing whitespace, and this patch will correct such.
[ this also updates the NEWS file for the buglet fix ]
Gosh, if folks cannot coax their editors into avoiding
such crap they should remove the '.sample' suffix from
their '.git/hooks/pre-commit.sample' file. Thereafter,
git itself will reject changes with whitespace errors.

ps: removed stripping of prefixes off wchan data
Implementation of what was settled on ML discussion: http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/ps-wchanf-option
'ps' does not remove "do_" and "sys_" prefixes from wchan data.

In the commit referenced below, in addition to several
tweaks to comments, 3 fields were no longer assured of
being present in the results stacks. However, 2 of the
3 fields might, in fact, be required even if they were
not currently being displayed in any of the 4 windows.
The PIDS_CMD is used in two separate 'Inspect' headers
('Y' command) and the PIDS_ID_EUID is required if that
'User Filter' ('u' or 'U' command) was being employed.
That latter field's inclusion will be made conditional
but the former field must be unconditionally included.
( for old top, PIDS_CMD would have always been there )

No longer will ps print nwchan as 'ffffff', '-' or '1'
since the proc/PID/stat wchan field didn't represent a
real address anyway. Rather, the field will henceforth
output a dash ('-'), the ps customary 'not available'.
That man document was also tweaked to better represent
actual behavior. An asterisk ('*') was never shown for
threaded tasks and that dash ('-') usually didn't mean
running tasks (sometimes associated with permissions).

Removing the Item_table 'stat' oldflags for WCHAN_ADDR
was wrong since that 'stat' field is not a constant 0.
Rather, it could assume these 3 values: -1, 0, and +1.
I have not been able to pin down a '-1' result, but it
probably means some sort of permission error (-EPERM).
The '1' or '0' values were supposed to distinguish the
tasks that were or were not blocked (whether there was
a wchan address). However, in practice there is little
correlation between those values and availability of a
kernel symbol in /proc/$$/wchan (perhaps due to race).
Anyway, the real point is that a 'stat' wchan does not
now intentionally contain an address. Thus, outputting
'ffffff', '-' or '1' in programs like ps is senseless.
So this patch just eliminates PIDS_WCHAN_ADDR from our
item enumerators leaving only the PIDS_WCHAN_NAME guy.
Now the new library can't be blamed for bad addresses!

It makes no sense to begin our tracked nested level at
'1' then later require a '1' to be subtracted from the
level as artwork and indentation is added for display.
By beginning such tracked levels at zero, we can avoid
the need to adjust it & use it directly in a snprintf.

In some environments, 100 * nr_active_objs is calculated at first,
and the result of lower 32bits is divided by nr_objs. This occurs
even in a 64-bit architecture. So nr_active_objes > 42949672, %use
will be incorrect.
This fix casts type of nr_active_objs to float to calculate
correctly the %use in 32-bit/64-bit architectures.

This reverts commit 99d71ad581.
When nr_active_objs / nr_objs is calculated, the result will be 1
or 0 since the variables are integer. So the commit is wrong.
This patch just parallels some adjustments/corrections
which were also implemented under the 'newlib' branch.

It would have been nice to remove this 'nDRT' guy from
the fields management screen and man document as well.
But, while this version of top could be made to handle
an older rcfile, the reverse would not have been true.
Besides, it's been zero for so long already we'll just
include a 'deprecated' note in top's man page for now.

When this module was upgraded to 3rd generation in the
patch referenced below, numa node support was migrated
from the top program into newlib. The 'guest_nice' and
'guest' tics were overlooked as top did not need them.
So, this commit corrects that oversight and achieves a
proper symmetry between the cpu & numa jiffies counts.

A priming read at 'new' time in that <slabinfo> module
was important so that permission problems are detected
early. Plus, it also had the potential of making delta
values valid when 'get' or 'select' were first called.
It is for that latter reason that such a read was also
incorporated in the <diskstats> module 'new' function.
No other module, however, employed such priming reads.
This patch just brings those potential benefits to all
of our other newlib modules with the exception of that
<pids> guy. That module is, of necessity, sufficiently
different from those others to justify such exclusion.
Not only are there precious few DELTA enums in <pids>,
but the costs of a priming read would be much greater.
[ otherwise, these newly added priming reads have no ]
[ measurable negative impact on performance/timings. ]

The <slabinfo> header provides 3 groups of enumerators
with prefixes of SLABINFO, SLABS & SLABNODE. The first
is strictly user oriented & isn't supported internally
by any structure. The other two, however, have structs
associated with 'em but, unfortunately, 1 is misnamed.
The 'struct slabs_node' is associated with 'nodes' and
supports the enumerators with the SLABNODE prefix. But
the 'struct slabs_hist' was associated with 'hist' yet
supports those enumerators with just the SLABS prefix.
We do not care very much what some structure is called
but we do care about an identifier used manipulate it.
This patch will trade the 'hist' identifier associated
with 'struct slabs_hist' for a more congruous 'slabs'.

If, in fact, numa nodes are dynamic (like that current
total of on-line cpus) the existing logic was lacking.
It included an early return before checking the total.
So, this commit ensures that the nodes total is always
set or updated consistently in only a single function.
There's no need to set it at the time 'new' is called.
[ and since under our existing code this nodes total ]
[ could never possibly have been zero, the erroneous ]
[ test (with the early return) has now been whacked! ]

Since our library is responsible for NUMA support, and
since the top program already accommodates the lack of
NUMA data, there's no reason that #define NUMA_DISABLE
need be explicitly referenced in the top source files.
Ergo, this commit just eliminates all such references.
Now, top will rely only on procps_stat_reap() results.

Still unhappy with a minor memory leak associated with
libnuma, I experimented with omitting the dlclose that
was issued at module's end. For some reason which will
remain a mystery, the valgrind leak then went bye-bye.
So this patch just omits one use of dlclose and relies
on whatever kernel magic is at work to free the memory
when each process ends. We kept, however, the original
code (now commented-out) to serve as a future caution.
There remains one potential (but unlikely) dlclose use
near the original dlopen. But there will be no leak as
that 'numa_node_of_cpu' will not yet have been called.
This seems to be the culprit that triggers such leaks.
None of this libnuma shit would likely have come close
to hitting our fan had the numa developers provided us
with 'new' and 'unref' functions like our newlib does.

Ever since its introduction, the 'x' (extended format)
option has employed strncmp to parse those smaps keys.
Such an approach worked well as long as those prefixes
were guaranteed to be unique. But, with the 4.3 kernel
a new 'SwapPss' field was added to those within smaps.
That triggered a 2nd match for the 'Swap' logic which,
in turn, resulted in a duplicate output line of zeros.
So this patch just trades strncmp for strcmp, avoiding
potential future problems when /proc/$$/smaps evolves.
