There is a chance that the libnuma library may corrupt
top's display with some stderr warning messages in the
event something under /sys/devices/system/node/ cannot
be accessed. And, while 2 overridable 'weak' functions
are provided to alter such behavior, we can't use them
since top dynamically links to the library via dlopen.
This commit will redirect stderr to '/dev/null' during
just the first screen display cycle. Thus we can avoid
the corruption which would have remained visible until
the underlining screen row's data had finally changed.
Lastly, this patch should allow such a library warning
to actually appear when one finally exits our program.
[ i think the libnuma folks should consider changing ]
[ the error/warning interfaces to accommodate dlopen ]
[ rather than forcing something like the ugly kludge ]
[ we have employed or libnuma dependency on everyone ]

Library systemd-login offers possibility to display
name of a systemd slice unit for specific pid.
This patch adds output option "slice" which will
show name of systemd slice unit.
To maintain compatibility with non-systemd systems,
procps must be configured with --with-systemd option
to enable this option.
This commit introduces support for special %PPID value that
can be passed to the -o option as a substitution for parent
PID. It also allows users to use two additional separators
for omitted PIDs - colon and semicolon.
To assist the translators, each option is a separate string.
This means if we add/change/delete an option the remaining ones
will just keep working and only the impacted option needs some
translation work on it.
As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
Some Debian pbuilders error out on some of the tests because
they cannot find kill to kill the test processes. Now if we
cannot find kill we skip those lot of tests.
Still need to work out why the S390 doesn't like test_sched

When Other filtering was introduced the nature of what
constituted a displayed row changed. No longer would a
task_show() call guarantee that another line is shown.
Rather, a non-empty string must have also been tested.
Unfortunately, when any task window was being filtered
for 'idle' mode or a particular 'user', the proc index
was incremented twice due to the perils of copy/paste.
Combining such an index increment with the new test of
task_show results works fine if filtering is inactive.
This was a particularly insidious bug which meant that
an adjacent task would be skipped whenever the current
task met 'idle' and/or 'user' filter criteria, and was
not otherwise excluded due to 'Other' filter criteria.
And, since it was the very next task that was ignored,
the bug was very susceptible to a window's sort order.
This could be illustrated when filtering on some user,
while sorting on PID. Then, toggling Forest View could
make otherwise unseen tasks appear and then disappear.
User workarounds are possible via interactive commands
trading the 'i' and 'u'/'U' provisions for the 'o'/'O'
other filtering capability thus avoiding an extra i++.
But that is certainly less than ideal and doesn't help
the 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 distorted command line provisions.

Previously the shared memory column was always zero
for 2.6 series kernels (and later) due to the fact,
that the value was taken from the MemShared entry
that disappeared with 2.6 series kernels.
Later a new Shmem entry appeared in the /proc/meminfo
file and the 'shared' column now displays either
the MemShared or the Shmem value (depending on their
presence - the presence is mutually exclusive).
If none of the two entries is exported by the kernel,
then the column is zero.
An unpleasant thing happened when I comitted the shmem support
for the 'free' tool. We already had a merge request from
Adrian Brzezinski in the queue, doing exactly the same.
As Adrian deserves credits, I'm reverting the change
and re-applying with the next commit in order to make
him a part of the project history.
Normally, the internally tracked 'Screen_cols' can not
exceed the lessor of 512 or actual screen width. There
was one case, however, where that 512 byte upper limit
was no longer properly imposed as it should have been.
When operating in 'Batch' mode the actual screen width
was allowed to be exceeded when the optional -w switch
was also used. But, it should never have exceeded 512.
This patch ensures the upper limit is always observed.

message line management introduced with the window mgr
'screen' refactor was retained. Those two commits mean

watch would only use an interval of up to 4294 seconds and silently
change to this limit. The 4294 seconds is 2^32/10^6 or how many
microseconds fit into unsigned int.
This change increases the limit to 2^32 seconds which is
approximately 136 years. This should be ok for now. Anything above
the old limit now uses sleep() instead of usleep() which only uses
integers (so 9999.123 seconds will be 9999 seconds)

Stephen Kratzer. The patch was updated to fit the current source.

Some more (very obscure) conditions where a suspension
or program end might embed the shell prompt within top
output have been uncovered beyond the 2 already known.
We had already covered some suspend/end contingencies:
1. the users were using the 'fields management' screen
2. the users were prompted for any line oriented input
However, there remained some situations where ^Z or ^C
could still produce a misplaced cursor + shell prompt:
3. the 'g' command while waiting for the window choice
4. the 'W' command if about to overwrite an old rcfile
5. the '=' command when exploiting the Inspect feature
6. the period during which any error message was shown
But, even when all those bases are covered there still
remains a remote possibility that such interrupts will
occur during a top repaint cycle. So rather than throw
yet more code at these self-inflicted problems perhaps
it is better if we just throw in the proverbial towel.
Thus, I'll take the only sane approach and restore the
results expected ever since top's inception and before
scrollback buffers entered the picture. Namely, with a
^Z or ^C the cursor will be placed on the final screen
row. That usually means it will immediately follow the
last output line but it may follow many blank lines if
the user interrupts top when *not* on the main screen.

Previously the libselinux support was present
in the sources, but disabled with a preprocessor
condition (#if 0).
From now the libselinux support can be enabled with
the --enable-libselinux switch available
in the configuration script. That way is more
flexible than local patches modifying the condition
value from 0 to 1.
pwdx rather mysteriously fails with "invalid process id" when run in a
nonexistent locale (e.g. "LC_ALL=foo pwdx $$"). This is because it
fails to obey the documented calling sequence for strtol - that is, set
errno to 0 before the call - and thus the errno from the setlocale
failure bleeds over into its check for whether strtol failed.

A recent patch introduced the ability to recognize the
need to reposition the cursor at suspension or program
end. There remained unmet 1 additional potential need.
This commit extends that ability to embrace line input
so that if a user issues ^Z or ^C while being prompted
the resulting shell output will no longer be embedded.

The title of this commit is actually quite misleading.
Were it more accurate, it would at least mention a tty
emulator's scrollback buffer, which was the cumulation
of a long pursuit to reduce the SIGWINCH overhead when
a window manager carelessly floods an application with
that signal *while* a user is still resizing a window!
Disabling and enabling that scrollback buffer resulted
in the final top display replaced with original screen
contents, a phenomenon acknowledged at the time but it
also represented a user interface change which has now
produced the first request for return to old behavior.
After the SIGWINCH dust settled, another problem arose
regarding behaviors under the 'screen' window manager.
In response, top was refactored a bit to avoid display
corruption. That was before discovering 'screen' could
duplicate the scrollback buffer behavior top expected.
As it turns out, the 'screen' refactoring had probably
made scrollback buffer manipulation unnecessary. Still
one could argue that a window should not be allowed to
scroll while a constantly updating program was active.
The solution represented in this commit returns former
behavior at program end (retaining top's last screen).
And if we ever wish to disable scrollback buffers, the
associated logic was retained but made conditional. It
is not reflected in configure.ac but might be someday.
Lastly, this commit corrects cursor positioning when a
^C is issued under 'Fields Management' at any terminal
that didn't have a scrollback buffer (i.e. a console).

When fileutils with stream error checking was borrowed
from GNU lib, an omission was also propagated where an
errno of EPIPE wouldn't be preserved in close_stream()
making a test for EPIPE in close_stdout() meaningless.
This patch corrects such oversight so that an errno of
EPIPE no longer produces 'write error' at program end.

When the plug-in approach to NUMA support was added, I
carelessly employed the compile-time linker convention
for naming the library. Technically this then required
the 'devel' package for NUMA support to be present for
the unqualified soname symlink to be available. Either
that or one must have manually created such a symlink.
This commit adds the missing major version to dlopen()
of libnuma.so.1 so simply having a more likely package
such as 'numactl' will enable both '2' & '3' commands.
