Some of those bottom windows grow quite large, as with
the firefox environment. If one is navigating the data
using the tab key, it can be very inconvenient when an
element should be reexamined but that focus has moved.
Therefore, this commit will support the 'back_tab' key
which is a standard combination of the shift+tab keys.
Now a user can easily backup up to any missed element,
assuming a terminal emulator honors that terminfo key.

Well darn it, whoever wrote that new library caught me
with my pants down (again?). Shoot, they were not just
down but somehow missing altogether. Here's the story.
Any item from that library supported by dynamic memory
can only be represented in user's stacks exactly once.
Should any string based enumerator be duplicated among
the items array, for any instance beyond the first the
library will return '[ duplicate ENUM ]' for a result.
That's where I lost my pants. While command lines were
given special handling (and never duplicated) I failed
to turn on CGROUPS, SUPGRPS & ENVIRON when testing the
Ctrl-G, Ctrl-U & Ctrl-N keys. If any of those 3 are on
that's when a Ctrl window sees a 'duplicate' notation.
[ and who runs top with such fields displayed anyway ]

quite dramatically & vastly simplified in the process.

To complete the implementation of this new feature, we
must address the problem created by any commands which
offer their own full replacement displays. Should that
'Ctrl' bottom window be active, a return from any such
command leaves that lower portion of a terminal blank.
While we could issue a 'TAGGED_TOSS' macro right after
invoking any of those 4 (currently) affected commands,
it is wrong to make them aware of this 'tagged' stuff.
So, I'll opt for a more generalized solution whereby a
notice regarding a corrupted screen is broadcast. Then
the logic already aware of 'tagging' can deal with it.

I grew tired of inadvertently causing a premature exit

After using this new feature for awhile, I encountered

Well, now it will persist until that same Ctrl key has
been struck a 2nd time or a different Ctrl key used to
target another process after positioning it on row #1.
So now, instead of that former 'moving target' type of
approach, this window is more of a 'snapshot' in time.

When autogroups are active programs such as renice and
nice are basically useless because the nice value will
only affect the target task priority relative to other
processes in the same autogroup. So to accomplish what
we thought of as renice, /proc/<pid>/autogroup must be
changed. Altering a single member in an autogroup will
also affect every other member of that same autogroup.
Since top's renice provision ('r') suffers constraints
like those of the stand alone nice/renice programs, we
will now provide a means to manipulate that nice value
found within some process' /proc/<pid>/autogroup file.

It would appear that openSUSE was the first to release
procps-ng version 4.0.0 (in the tumbleweed distro). As
a result I checked their source rpm and found a couple
of patches I'm porting to newlib for the next release.
This particulate commit was a refactor of the openSUSE
patch 'procps-ng-3.3.8-bnc634840.patch'. Unfortunately
their original patch did not have the intended effect.
That was because the amended signal handling logic was
performed well before the command line parameters were
parsed. So the global 'Batch' flag was in its 0 state.
. what follows is the original openSUSE commit message
------------------------------------------------------
Do not setup SIGHUP signal handler if we are in the batch mode
Top enables a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal (loss of terminal). While
this makes sense for top's default interactive mode, it doesn't make any sense
for batch mode. If you run top in nohup just to collect data over time and
disconnect top finishes which is not what one would expect.

This new integer based version of 'fieldscur' deviated
a bit too much from that character based logic when it
comes to ancient 3.2.8 rcfile support. This results in
an inappropriate extra field shown as the last column.
If we're truly dealing with 20 year old 3.2.8 rcfiles,
it's important the 3.3.9 extension (RCF_PLUS_H) not be
concatenated to what was read. That's because a search
for the special SUSE characters will always find a '\'
in the 26th position (after normal 3.2.8 'fieldscur').

As I speculated in a prior commit, this patch will now
demonstrate how simple it is to extend the upper limit
of supportable fields. With these changes we'll now go
from facing the old limit of 86 to a new limit of 100.
No other changes are needed nor is any logic impacted.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
With each of those references shown below, the maximum
number of fields was increased. However, with a 'char'
based implementation we're nearing the upper limits of
total displayable fields. We currently use 76 of a max
of 86 fields. With extra effort, 94 might be possible.
But 94 is the absolute upper limit of possible fields!
Moreover, the current implementation yields characters
that were unprintable in the rcfile. This could become
an issue with that 'inspect' feature when/if an rcfile
is edited to add entries (as opposed to using 'echo').
So, with this commit the internals of field management
has been completely reimagined. It is now based on the
integer type, not a character. And whereas that former
design used the high order bit to show the 'on' state,
thus yielding an unprintable character, the new design
uses the low order bit for the state. As such, numbers
will be kept small and an even number will be an 'off'
field whereas an odd number will become an 'on' state.
The bottom line is that this new design will afford an
unlimited number of new fields while keeping an rcfile
completely free of that potential unprintable garbage.
And it is embarrassingly easy to extend the maximum of
supportable fields from the currently implemented 100.
Who knows, maybe a future patch will prove this point.

That normalization of the 'scale_tics' function in the
prior commit convinced me that I won't please everyone
with my arbitrary choices for the scaling transitions.
So, this patch will provide the users with a means for
setting their own scaling transition points with a new
toggle. Ctrl-E was chosen since the 'e/E' toggles were
already present as a means of scaling (albeit memory).
[ this toggle will also serve an educational purpose ]
[ by allowing one to see all the scaling conventions ]
The scaling a user establishes is saved in the rcfile.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This patch refactors the 'scale_tics' function to more
closely parallel uptime shown on the first line of the
summary area. The old logic has been preserved through
the header file's new #define SCALE_FORMER provision.
However, the former logic was actually a big disaster.
These are some potential problems with that old logic:
1. With respect to our time fields top no longer deals
solely with cpu time. So, the old limits of '68 weeks'
could possibly be insufficient to reflect those times.
2. Given the widths of top's new time fields, the code
never got beyond scaling to hours. For example, with a
ridiculously large span of 19 years, the scaled result
would then be shown as '167832h'. We never reached the
days ('6993d') or even the weeks ('999w') equivalents.
3. Similarly, with that 'TIME+' field and a large tics
value, results would then appear as 'MMMMMM:SS' rather
than the more meaningful 'HH:MM:SS' or days and hours.
So henceforth we will adopt these scaling conventions:
MMM:SS.hh ... minutes:seconds.hundredths
MMM:SS ...... minutes:seconds
HH,MM ....... hours,minutes
D+H ......... days+hours (with 'd' & 'h' suffixes)
D ........... days (with 'd' suffix)
W+D ......... weeks+days (with 'w' & 'd' suffixes)
W ........... weeks (with 'w' suffix)
Note that, unlike our former scaling logic, that 'MMM'
portion won't be allowed to grow unconditionally. It's
limited (arbitrarily?) to 360 total minutes (6 hours).
Additionally, the 'HH' guy will be limited to 96 hours
(4 days) while that 'D' limit was set at 14 (2 weeks).
Whenever a limit is hit, scaling will advance a level.

Just do not show what would change with every refresh!
If we do not show the seconds portion of a scaled tics
amount then the problem goes away. And this comes with
an additional benefit. The HH,MM (hours,minutes) style
then is readily compared with that system uptime shown
as HH:MM. The only difference is just the comma/colon.

Rather than having those 3 separate background threads

chooses to activate them. That seems more appropriate.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
After the stage had been set in the previous patch, in
this patch we will actually implement those background
updates via 3 separate threads. The design was simple:
. the do-while loops have now been made truly infinite
. 2 semaphores per thread allow needed synchronization
. 1 semaphore will provide for each thread to sem_wait
. 1 semaphore will provide for display o/p to sem_wait
. and all 3 thread's program name was made descriptive
A complication was the potential for a signal directed
to one of our new threads. Rather than having a thread
try to deal with such signals, we pass a mask with all
signals blocked at pthread_create time. Thereafter any
subsequent signals are forwarded to the parent thread.
[ also sigprocmask was exchanged for pthread_sigmask ]
[ since warned about use "in multithreaded process". ]
[ plus we also modified each of those POSIX comments ]
[ about 2004 to agree with current signal-safety(7). ]
Sadly, after all this effort there were no performance
benefits to having separate threads. In fact there was
a measurable performance degradation when running with
ever smaller delay intervals. But even with a delay of
1/10 second the 'real' cost increase is only about 1%.
There is one way whereby any additional costs might be
eliminated (at least seemingly). One could introduce 2
separate sets of contexts for each of those 3 threads.
Then retrieval & display could be overlapped. However,
the resulting display wouldn't represent the real-time
results. Rather it would be stale by 1 delay interval.

commit 59f5a37a24
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
When the '4' toggle is on, and Summary Area %Cpu lines
are shown two abreast, it's not always clear where the
separation is between the two processors. So with this
patch we'll now print a vertical bar separator between
them (looking similar to the existing field headings).
We will also reduce that 'GRAPH_suffix' constant to 1,
reflecting the the trailing ']' bracket only, so as to
maximize top's exploitation of available screen width.
[ plus a superfluous double '+ +' has now been fixed ]
