While that old master branch library may utilize those
memory allocation functions found in the alloc module,
it was inappropriate for this newlib branch to subject
callers to a stderr message followed by an early exit.
Of course, the old libprocps offered a message handler
override provision (xalloc_err_handler) but that, too,
would seem to be inappropriate for our modern library.
[ remember the battles fought with that damn libnuma ]
So, this commit will tweak those old inherited sources
setting the stage for standardized return values/errno
settings in connection with a memory allocation error.
------------------------------------------------------
Along the way, we'll address the following miscellany:
. Completely eliminate usage of anything from alloc.h.
This, of course, entails our own error checking of the
alternative allocation calls from stdlib.h & string.h.
. Eliminate use of the strdup function where possible,
as with 'procps_uptime' and 'procps_loadavg' routines.
. Whack some obsolete code (getslabinfo) in sysinfo.c.

Awhile back, that former QUICK_THREADS #define evolved
into the development (only) FALSE_THREADS which can be
used to ensure a 'duplicate ENUM' convention is output
when certain string fields can't be easily duplicated.
Unfortunately, that original implementation was marred
with zeros being displayed for /proc/$$/meminfo fields
in all the child threads for a multi-threaded process.
So this commit corrects that zero memory field buglet.

That #define QUICK_THREADS was impossible to implement
under the new <pids> interface. Plus it was also found
to distort some thread information (referenced below).
So, it's always been inactive under the newlib branch.
However, it will (with small changes) still serve some
useful purpose in our library. Now, when the redefined
FALSE_THREADS is active, those special strings showing
"[ duplicate ENUM ]" will appear for any child thread.
Note: the real reason for such strings appearing isn't
being exercised, only their mechanics. In actual usage
they are substituted when a user duplicates such items
in a results stack & only the 1st instance can own it.
With this patch, we are simply fooling the <pids> code
into thinking an item was duplicated via a NULL value.

Unlike other cached string fields (such as USER name),
that lxcname field was defined as 'const char *'. This
required a custom 'set' function using a cast in order
to avoid a compiler warning regarding that assignment.
So this commit brings lxcname into line with all those
other cached string fields. And while we're at it, the
reason some string fields have no 'freefunc' will also
be explained with some new comments in the Item_table.

In that reference below a specific systemd problem was
fixed in the commit shown. However lurking deep within
the <pids> interface was yet one final case where NULL
could be returned, involving 'strv' and the following:
. a user requested both a single string vector (always
returned as a normal string) & the vectorized version,
as with PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE and PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V.
. a user simply duplicated some vectorized enum items.
The root of that NULL problem is the fact those single
string vectors shared the same proc_t field with their
true vectorized version. So while multiple occurrences
for most strings could be satisfied with strdup versus
the normal ownership usurpation, those true vectorized
fields could not be quite so easily copied/duplicated.
Thus newlib chose to return a NULL result.strv pointer
under either of the above scenarios (which perhaps was
just a user boo-boo in the first place). In any event,
the NULL was a potential for true string vectors only.
Now, since newlib is the sole caller into the readproc
module, separate fields have been created for what are
just normal strings (never vectorized) and those which
remain the true vectorized versions. And, former flags
which only worked if combined, now act as stand alone.
Thus, both PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE & PROCPS_PIDS_CMDLINE_V
can be used simultaneously (as they should have been).
Also with this patch, items which a user duplicates in
the stack (beyond the first such item) will return the
the string "[ duplicate ENUM_ID ]". This practice will
apply to both single strings and true vectorized ones.
In addition to informing users of their error, it will
also mean potential NULLs need now never be a concern.

In taking these first baby steps, a few anomalies were
found. There'll no doubt be many more yet to discover.
. the _FLT_ (fault) fields were already signed long in
the proc_t (even though their sscanf format used %lu).
. although strtoul will alway return an unsigned long,

read_cmdline() - copy,renamed and made generic - remove original
freeproc() - not used - removed
get_proc_status - not used - removed, however there should be
a new function created that does this. Given a PID return data

Left as internal-to-library only functions:
readproc(), readeither(), look_up_our_self(), openproc(), closeproc()
Updated libprocps.sym to export only what we use.
Now that the conditional OOMEM_ENABLE has been removed
and, after reviewing current library support, it turns
out we've been using a deprecated /proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
What we should use instead is that more recent tunable
/proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj. This new field will provide

MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long
HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.
likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.
Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h
Multiple scanf()s use the GNU-permitted %Lu. This is not supported in
other libraries and isn't to the POSIX specification. The L modifier
is only used for floats in POSIX.
Replacing %Lu with %llu is the same for GNU libc (scanf(3) says as much)
but means other libraries will work fine.

Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.
While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.
This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.
The patch below is where most proc_t fixed size arrays
became simple pointers to char. In that commit changes
to the above function were made so that dynamic memory
was freed which included the program name (cmd) field.
That change was prompted by a valgrind reported memory
leak during development that no longer seems to exist.
However, by keeping the look_up_our_self() changes the
ps command without args then fails to report anything.
So this patch just restores the expected old behavior.

A few minor changes are being made to position the old

These changes will not impact current users beyond the
the need to recompile such code. Hopefully this should
be very last version change to the deprecated library.
. most char arrays were replaced via char * to dynamic
memory. this was done so that newlib could just assume
ownership of such strings without using a strdup call.
. former user and group name arrays also became char *
but here the reason was because pwcache already cached
those names. so, copying to an array never made sense.
. the concept of QUICK_THREADS used to avoid duplicate
overhead for string data was disabled. it could not be
integrated with the newlib design, at least initially.
. any #define which influenced the size of that proc_t
was disable in the header. it was probably a poor idea
to approach optional features in such a manner anyway.

This commit adds a lxc container name to every proc_t.
If a process is not running in a container, then a '-'
will be provided, making such a field always sortable.
Unlike other proc_t character pointers, lxc containers
will find many duplicate shared values. So rather than
strdup 'em (with a later free required upon reuse), we
try to keep track of those already seen and share that
address among all tasks running within each container.
We rely on the lines in the task's cgroup subdirectory
which may initially seem somewhat unsophisticated. But
the lxc library itself uses a similar approach when it
is called to list active containers. In that case, the
/proc/net/unix directory is parsed for the '/lxc' eye-
catcher, with potential complications from hashed path
and names that are too long (something we don't face).
[ too bad docker abandoned lxc - our commit won't do ]

Under some circumstances the ksh shell doesn't fork new processes
when executing scripts and the script is interpreted by the
parent process. That makes the execution faster, but it means
ksh needs to reuse the /proc/PID/cmdline for the new script name
and arguments while the file length needs to stay untouched.
The fork is skipped only when the new cmdline is shorter than
the parent's cmdline and the rest of the file is filled
with '\0'. This is perfectly ok until we try to read the cmdline
of such process. As the read_unvectored() function replaces
all zeros with chosen separator, these trailing zeros are replaced
with spaces in case of the ps tool. Consequently it appends
multiple spaces at the end of the arguments string even when these
zeros do not represent any separators and therefore shouldn't
be replaced.
With this commit the read_unvectored() function skips the
replacement of trailing zeros and separates valid content only.

One recent patch to dynamic buffer management involved
over-allocating the buffer increase to lessen calls to
xrealloc. That was successful, but the actual increase
amount did not attempt to optimize size or alignments.
With this commit, we'll copy an approach recently used
by the top program and round up buffer sizes to 1 KiB.
More importantly, while buffers are quickly reaching a
KiB optimum multiple, no memcpy will ever be employed!
To illustrate just how effective top's algorithm would
be, just change the initial and subsequent allocations
from the current 1024 bytes to just a single byte then
add an fprintf. Those one byte reallocations while on
the way to optimum buffer size will be a one-time cost
and won't represent any recurring performance penalty.

A recent Debian bug report, dealing with release 3.2.8
and its even more restrictive buffer sizes (1024) used
in stat, statm and status reads via file2str calls, is
a reminder of what could yet happen to procps-ng. Size
needs are determined by kernel evolution and/or config
options so that bug could resurface even though buffer
size is currently 4 times the old procps-3.2.8 limits.
Those sizes were raised from 1024 to 4096 bytes in the
patch submitted by Eric Dumazet, and referenced below.
This patch makes libprocps immune to future changes in
the amount of stuff that is ultimately found in a proc
'stat', 'statm' or 'status' subdirectory. We now trade
the former static buffer of 4096 bytes for dynamically
allocated buffers whose size can be increased by need.
Even though this change is solely an internal one, and
in no way directly affects the API or the ABI, libtool
suggests that the LIBprocps_REVISION be raised. I hope
Craig remembers to do that just before a next release.
We don't want a repeat of the procps-ng-3.3.4 boo-boo,
but with no API/ABI impact that probably can't happen.

Some inconsistencies have emerged during development
of support for these relatively new proc_t fields.
For example, a PROC_FILLCGROUP flag (via file2strvec)
could return NULL in cgroup whereas PROC_EDITCGRPCVT
(via fill_cgroup_cvt) *almost* guaranteed a return
address (as is true for PROC_EDITCMDLCVT and cmdline).
But even PROC_EDITCGRPCVT could return NULL if the
kernel version was less than 2.6.24. Then with NULL
ps would display a "-" while top would show "n/a".
And while unlikely, with the PROC_FILLSTATUS flag (via
status2proc) a NULL supgid address was theoretically
possible and both ps and top would then show "n/a".
This commit standardizes the following usage:
. PROC_FILLSTATUS (via status2proc)
guarantees a valid supgid address
representing either a true comma
delimited list or "-"
. PROC_FILLCGROUP plus
PROC_EDITCGRPCVT (via fill_cgroup_cvt)
guarantees a cgroup single vector
representing either a true control
group hierarchy or "-"
And as was true before, the following remains true:
PROC_FILLCOM or
PROC_FILLARG (via file2strvec)
may return a NULL cmdline pointer
. PROC_FILLCGROUP (via file2strvec)
may return a NULL cgroup pointer
. PROC_FILLCOM or
PROC_FILLARG plus
PROC_EDITCMDLCVT (via fill_cmdline_cvt)
guarantees a cmdline single vector
representing either a true command
line or a bracketed program name
. PROC_FILLSTATUS plus
PROC_FILLSUPGRP (via supgrps_from_supgids)
guarantees a valid supgrp address

Now both routes to a cmdline act the same -- no trailing space.
The CodingStyle document suggests programs should allow for
cmdlines of at least 128k. Only the ps program can display
such a cmdline, and only with multiple -w switches.
The library function file2strvec can essentially return
a cmdline of unlimited length. However, the library function
fill_cmdline_cvt used an arbitrary upper limit of 2048 for
buffers automatically allocated on the stack.
This patch raises the fill_cmdline_cvt upper limit to 128k via
dymaically acquired utility buffers ensured by the openproc
function.
It also makes indentation consistent in the openproc function.
