The stderr message regarding ELF notes appears on some
systems (openSUSE-13.1 for example) but I have not yet
isolated why. Since at startup we go on to determine a
Hertz value the old fashion way, this patch just turns
off the useless message until the cause is understood.

This commit adds support for fallback calculation
of the MemAvailable field if not exported by the
kernel. The MemAvailable field appeared in kernel
3.14, but it's possible to calculate it from other
fields since 2.6.27 (splitLRU changes).
Nowadays the usernames can be 32 characters long
(typically OpenShift usernames use the whole length)
and the old limit was preventing us from processing
them correctly.
The macro change affects the proc_t structure size.
This commit adds a new switch -a/--available that
appends a new column called 'available' to the
output. The column displays an estimation
of how much memory is available for starting
new applications, without swapping. Unlike the data
provided by the 'cached' or 'free' fields, this
field takes into account page cache and also that
not all reclaimable memory slabs will be reclaimed
due to items being in use.
The subtraction was marked as reinforcing the misconception,
that memory in the page cache can be considered free.
The Cached value is not a sum of page cache and tmpfs,
as the tmpfs memory lives in the page cache and therefore
it's an inseparable part of it.
tmpfs has become much more widely used since distributions use it for
/tmp (Fedora 18+). In /proc/meminfo, memory used by tmpfs is accounted
into "Cached" (aka "NR_FILE_PAGES",
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/mm/shmem.c#L301 ).
The tools just pass it on, so what top, free and vmstat report as
"cached" is the sum of page cache and tmpfs.
free has the extremely useful "-/+ buffers/cache" output. However, now
that tmpfs is accounted into "cached", those numbers are way off once
you have big files in /tmp.
Fortunately, kernel 2.6.32 introduces "Shmem", which makes tmpfs memory
usage accessible from userspace (
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=4b02108ac1b3354a22b0d83c684797692efdc395 ).
This patch substracts Shmem from Cached to get the actual page cache
memory. This makes both issues mentioned above disappear. For older
kernels, Shmem is not available (hence zero) and this patch is no-op.
Additionally:
* Update the man pages of free and vmstat to explain what is happening
* Finally drop "MemShared" from the /proc/meminfo parser, it has been
dead for 10+ years and is only causing confusion ( removed in kernel
2.5.54, see
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=fe04e9451e5a159247cf9f03c615a4273ac0c571 )
vmstat -d or vmstat -p would crash mysteriously under different
circumstances. The problem was eventually tracked down to /sys not
being mounted which meant is_disk() always returned false.
The partition would then be attempted to be linked to a non-existent
disk causing a segfault.
vmstat will now not link to a disk if none exists.
The change in testing will skip those tests when /sys/block doesn't
exist.
Many thanks to Daniel Schepler for his analysis and suggestions.

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.

While 'invisible' thread subdirectories are accessible
under /proc/ with stat/opendir calls, they have always
been treated as non-existent, as is true with readdir.
This patch trades the /proc/#/ns access convention for
the more proper /proc/#/task/#/ns approach when thread
access is desired. In addition some namespace code has
been simplified and made slightly more efficient given
the calloc nature of proc_t acquisition and its reuse.

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.

It seems in some cases procs_running field of /proc/stat can contain 0 even if vmstat itself is running. At least this can be reproduced on Linux 3.9.3 compiled with BFS scheduler.
Since getstat() decrements value of procs_running by 1, we get overflow:

Function getbtime() currently makes the assumption that btime==0 equals
btime not being present in /proc/stat. This is not quite accurate, as
timestamp 0 is, in fact, also a valid time (Epoch), and /proc/stat may
report it as such.
We introduce a flag to indicate whether btime was found in /proc/stat.
In this way, btime==0 becomes a valid case, provided /proc/stat
actually reports this as the boot time.
procps can still detect the case of btime actually not being reported
by the kernel.

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.
( gosh, that top program *must be* one fart smeller, )

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.

The control group hierarchies for any particular task

library might impose an arbitrary limit of 1024 bytes
via fill_cgroup_cvt.
Two utility buffers of 128 KiB each were already

trades the smaller 1024 byte stack based buffers for
those much larger existing ones. Thus, truncation
can be avoided with no additional run-time costs.

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
representing either a true comma
delimited list or "-"

I originally implemented this as the up(1) program about 14 years ago.
In 2008 or 2009, I created a patch for procps to add this functionality
to uptime and submitted it to the project. Never heard from the
project and no new releases of procps had been made. Then I found out
about this project and decided to port my patch to it. So here it is.
This is really just for fun. There is no real technical reason to
have this functionality. But even now, 14 years later, I still get
emails asking where the source code for up is. So I thought it would
be nice for the uptime command on Linux to sport the up functionality
by default.

On non-linux systems, uts.version provides the version of that

are on the short name only) used everywhere else.

Previously the version of libproc always tracked the version of procps.
This doesn't work when other non-procps programs link to the library as
they are always playing catch up.
This change makes the library version independent of the procps version.
It will only be incremented when needed.
Commit a5881b5a4e, addressing
command lines with a trailing space, produced an undesirable
side effect in the fill_cgroup_cvt() function.
This patch restores correct cgroup behavior while still
producing command lines with no trailing space.
When PROC_FILLARG was used (invoking file2strvec)
command lines contained no trailing space.
When PROC_EDITCMDLCVT was used (invoking read_unvectored)
command lines contained a trailing space.
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.
There were numerous library memory allocation inconsistencies.
Some were checked for failure and others were not.
All library source modules were modified to utilize the alloc.h
memory rouines which are consistent in dealing with errors.
A callback provision in the form of xalloc_err_handler
(of type message_fn) was added to the alloc module.
This change allowed a program like top, who alters the
termios structure, to override the default fprint(stderr...)
behavior in the event of an error.
The new function xstrdup was also added for symmetry.

This will revert change at Oct 2002 when autotools support was
removed.
Unlike before the package developers are expected to use
./autogen.sh to generate ./configure script, and run make after
that. The build system is also able to create, with make dist, a
tar ball release which compiles correctly, and has files which
seemed to be important to have.
The patch removes few unnecessary files, but no everything. Files
procps.lsm and procps.spec in git repository are useless as is,
but I left them lying around for someone who can make more
justified call about removal of them.
Last, but not least package version number is set 3.3.0 to
distinct this procps from the sourceforge's upstream procps.
Please notice that libproc relese is kept as 3.2.8.

Library Changes
. added PROC_EDITCMDLCVT flag
. added an internal (static) fill_cmdline_cvt function:
- reads and "escapes" /proc/#/cmdline
- returns result as a single string in a single vector
- callers are guaranteed a cmdline (no more NULL)
. added vectorize_this_str function, exploited by
fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt
. generalized read_cmdline function as read_unvectored, now
exploited by fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt, read_cmdline
( cgroup and cmdline no longer need be converted to string )
( vectors before being transformed to final representation )
. fixed bug regarding skipped group numbers (when enabled)
. escape_str made responsible for all single byte translation
with distinction between control chars + other unprintable
. added escaped_copy function for already escaped strings
. reorganized parts of proc_t to restore formatting standards
( displacement changes shouldn't matter with new version # )
. former ZAP_SUSEONLY #define now OOMEM_ENABLE
. added to library.map: escaped_copy; read_cmdline
Top Program Changes
. exploited the new PROC_EDITCMDLCVT provision
. eliminated now obsolete #include "proc/escape.h"
. changed the P_WCH display format if no kernel symbol table
. fixed very old bug in lflgs for out-of-view sort fields
. former ZAP_SUSEONLY #define now OOMEM_ENABLE
Ps Program Changes
. exploited the new PROC_EDITCMDLCVT provision
. exploited the new escaped_copy function
. consolidated pr_args and pr_comm into pr_argcom

This source patchset addresses the following:
Library Extension (readproc)
. added PROC_EDITCGRPCVT flag
. added an internal (static) fill_cgroup_cvt function:
. reads AND parses /proc/#/cgroup
. returns result as a single string in a single vector
. thus no changes to proc_t structure or free memory logic
Program Enhancements (top)
. removed parse_cgroup logic in favor of libproc
. eliminated cgroup sort recurring overhead
. converted WCHAN field to variable width
. generalized variable width field logic in task_show
. real-time notation under P col more distinctive as 'rt'
Program Cosmetic (top)
. CGROUP now known as CGROUPS (plural)
. moved jan's attribution from top.c to 'Notes' in top.h
. numerous comments tweaked
Document Enhancements (top)
. documented CGROUPS field (required renumbering all fields)
. adapted narratives for the 3 current variable width fields
. expanded real-time scheduling notes, 'RT' now shown as 'rt'

Having one constructor depend on another means if the order
is reversed you get a different result.

Read the time of system boot from /proc/stat (entry: btime) instead
of computing it as the difference between the current time and the
uptime. This is the only way to get a consistent result which won't
possibly change from one run to the next.
The problems with the original code were:
* Both the current time and the uptime are rounded down to the second,
but the system doesn't boot on an integer second value so they do not
tick at the same moment. Thus, the rounding errors can cause a one
second difference from one run to the next.
* We can't read the uptime and the current time at the exact same moment
anyway, so the time difference we compute is bound to be inaccurate.
