With this patch we've completed a progression toward a
standard approach to naming conventions which follows:
* Only functions will begin with that 'procps_' prefix
. ........................................... examples
. procps_vmstat_get ()
. procps_diskstats_select ()
- ----------------------------------------------------
* Exposed structures begin with the module/header name
. ........................................... examples
. struct pids_info
. struct stat_reaped
- ----------------------------------------------------
* Item enumerators begin like structs, but capitalized
. ........................................... examples
. VMSTAT_COMPACT_FAIL
. MEMINFO_DELTA_ACTIVE
[ slabinfo varies slightly due to some item variants ]
. SLABINFO_extra
. SLABS_SIZE_ACTIVE
. SLABNODE_OBJS_PER_SLAB
[ could cure with a prefix of SLABINFO, but too long ]
- ----------------------------------------------------
* Other enumerators work exactly like item enumerators
. ........................................... examples
. PIDS_SORT_ASCEND
. STAT_REAP_CPUS_AND_NODES
- ----------------------------------------------------
* Macros and constants begin just like the enumerators
. ........................................... examples
. #define SLABINFO_GET
. #define DISKSTATS_TYPE_DISK
- ----------------------------------------------------

Whoa, I had never considered an alternative to ncurses
until the issue referenced below was raised. Thus, I'm
surprised to find that 'tparm' was the only impediment
to ultimately utilizing this alternate curses library.
And, while we could have substituted that non-standard
'tiparm' with only 2 arguments, we'll utilize the full
parms compliment in the spirit of that original patch.
Frankly, the task of developing an alternative library
to that ncurses implementation really boggles my mind.
Congratulations to rofl0r, whoever that masked man is.

So as to avoid that potential (and inappropriate) numa
library spew to stderr, plus some resulting corruption
of top's display, top buffered stderr output until the
program ended. However, under our new library, timings
have changed meaning the corruption could occur again.
So this patch just relocates the stderr redirect to an
earlier startup point ahead of the 1st call to <STAT>.

When experimenting with two macro constants for stat.c
(#define STACKS_INCR & #define NEWOLD_INCR), a bug was
revealed in top, only surfacing if both were set to 1.
At those settings an absolute minimum number of stacks
would be allocated for CPUs & numa NODEs. This in turn
led top to overrun the lessor number of nodes since he
used the cpu index when accessing those numa stack(s).
What he should have been accessing was the cpu stacks.

Since the decision was made to also add that Linux-4.5
support (was only in this newlib branch) to our master
branch, a tweak to newlib's top is necessary. In order
to share the rcfile between them, any fields unique to
a branch must appear last in it's list of enumerators.
And the troublesome field in question above is CGNAME.
It doesn't matter if a unique field is on or off, only
that it, as a higher enum/char, appear after all other
shared fields. Otherwise one risks the 'corrupt' error
message from the top without that field or the display
of the wrong column in the top with that unique field.

The includes used to define a lot of things a library include
should not. It was also a bit messy what was exposed in the library
and what was not.
get_pid_digits -> procps_pid_length and exported correctly
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
Beginning with linux-4.5, the following new fields are
being added under that /proc/<pid>/status pseudo file:
. RssAnon - size of resident anonymous memory
. RssFile - size of resident file mappings
. RssShmem - size of resident shared memory
This patch just represents the initial library and top
support, sharing a commit message with 2 more patches.
p.s. locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.

It is documented behavior that when certain other keys
are active, sorts column highlighting will temporarily
be disabled. Among those keys is the 'L' (locate/find)
provision. The equals ('=') key can be used to restore
column highlighting by resetting other keys, except 1.
When a locate/find is active, the '=' key will have no
effect on 'x' column highlighting, which still remains
disabled. Further, when 'L' is active an 'x' keystroke
is processed changing the state of column highlighting
but without any visual clue (since it's yet disabled).
So this commit just extends the '=' key to embrace 'L'
processing resets, just like other highlight disabling
keys while avoiding 'x' state changes if approproiate.

When top was originally adapted to use that <pids> API,
the forest view support was redesigned since the proc_t
pad_3 byte could no longer be employed to hold a task's
nesting level. The redesign required additional arrays.
Now that the dust is settling on those initial efforts,
that PROCPS_PIDS_noop item was used as a substitute for
the old pad_3 along with a return to the former design.
But, while it proved adequate, the invariant nature for
that item required of top an extra initialization step.
So the library was coaxed into adding one more pid_item
(PROCPS_PIDS_extra) which will, unlike that 'noop' guy,
be reset with each reap. Everybody should be happy now.

Craig's recent commit under that newlib branch dealing
with namespace support has prompted me to review top's
handling of those fields. Currently, when such a field

This patch simply allows the potential zero to display
or be suppressed with the already existing '0' toggle.

Since it's possible that euser name is not being shown
or the horizontal position had been scrolled past that
USER column, then part of those headers will be blank.
So it doesn't make sense to try and show the USER that
is associated with a process at all. Thus, this commit
simply removes the 'user' provision from both headers.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
When a user is taking advantage of the scroll features
it is likely a scrolled vertical position is well past
the first displayable task. That is especially true of
top's forest view ('V') mode where those early systemd
attached processes are generally not very interesting.
As such, should the idle mode toggle ('i') be employed
a distorted display is almost guaranteed because tasks
that have used some cpu, and thus should be displayed,
have already been skipped by virtue of their position.
So this patch temporarily nullifies vertical scrolling
during the period when idle tasks are not being shown.

In addition to that text shown below the line which is
common to several commit messages, this patch contains
several minor changes with lessor impact upon the API:
. A call to procps_stat_read_jiffs() has been added to
those jiffs functions carrying the 'fill' nomenclature
to parallel like functions in some of our other files.
. The #include header files are ordered alphabetically
now, with all those <sys/??> types separately grouped.
. Standard copyright boilerplate was added in .c file.
. The header file follows the conventions of indenting
(by 4 spaces) those parameters too lengthy for 1 line.
------------------------------------------------------
. The former 'chains' have now become 'stacks' without
the 'next' pointer in each result struct. The pointers
initially seemed to offer some flexibility with memory
allocations and benefits for the library access logic.
However, user access was always via displacement and a
a statically allocated chain was cumbersome to define.
. An enumerator ending in '_noop' will no longer serve
as a fencepost delimiter. Rather, it has become a much
more important and flexible user oriented tool. Adding
one or more such 'items' in any items list passed into
the library becomes the means of extending the 'stack'
to also include user (not just library) data. Any such
data is guaranteed to never be altered by the library.
. Anticipating PID support, where many different types
must be represented in a result structure, we'll adopt
a common naming standard. And, while not every results
structure currently needs to reflect disparate types a
union will be employed so the same dot qualifier ('.')
can be used consistently when accessing all such data.
