If SELINUX is enabled but the machine is using another MAC system
(like apparmor), ps will fallback to just parsing
"/proc/%d/attr/current", otherwise the label/context would not
be properly displayed in that case.

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.

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

If the mapping descriptor is longer than 128 chars, the last parsed
character won't be a newline even if the current buffer contains it a
bit further than that. The current code always interprets it as a short
fgets() read instead, and thus keeps calling fgets() until it gets a
newline, dropping valid lines and failing with the following error:
pmap: ERROR: inconsistent detail field in smaps file, line:

In response to Issue #21, the commit referred to below
provided some much needed improvements and corrections
to topic `3a. DESCRIPTIONS of Fields' in the man page.
However, it assumed a reader possessed much background
knowledge that may not, in truth, actually be present.
So without, hopefully, insulting anyone's intelligence
this patch offers an expanded discussion of some terms
and concepts within a separate section under OVERVIEW.

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
Due to quirks in kernel memory management plus limited
information available from /proc/<pid>/status & statm,
some of the top resident memory fields were capable of
exceeding available physical memory. So this commit is
a bit of a band-aid until the kernel has been changed.
Such a change appears to be on the horizon in the form
of three new fields to be added to /proc/<pid>/status.
While not preventing 'resident' memory from apparently
exceeding physical memory, the new fields will help to
clarify any such contingency, if/when we exploit them.

The commit referenced below claims to disable vertical
scrolling when idle tasks weren't being shown. However
it really addresses only a point in time when that 'i'
toggle is keyed. Left untouched were the up/down keys.
So this commit will simply finish the job of disabling
vertical scrolling whenever tasks which have used some
CPU are the only ones which are currently being shown.

Historically LFS mattered only to open/read large files. A few programs
here use open/seek, but not generally on files that are large. However,
LFS also applies to stat which procps does in a bunch of places -- some
filesystems have 64bit inodes and attempts to do a 32bit stat will throw
an error.
Enable transparent LFS everywhere to avoid this.
There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

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.

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
is zero, top displays a dash ('-'). This will mean the
justification toggles ('j/J') will behave incorrectly.
This patch simply allows the potential zero to display
or be suppressed with the already existing '0' toggle.

When reference counts were added to some string fields
the 3 true string vector fields were not duplicated as
were those other fields. Instead they were supposed to
disallow a duplicate stack reference beyond the first.
However, the actual implementation gave NULL for every
true vector field whenever such items were duplicated.
More importantly, such true string vector fields never
considered references to the shared proc_t source root
which would have forced the conversion of such vectors
into a single string form via the '_CVT' library flag.
So this commit restores the intended outcome with true
string vectors. There's only 1 valid reference allowed
and duplicates and converted fields will yield a NULL.

ps previously followed the Unix98 standard when it comes to
user-defined output, sometimes. This meant you could have
user output format with a header that included commas and
equals signs. It was dependent on if ps thought you wanted
sysv or bsd format and THAT was dependent on things in previous
options.
It was very confusing to a user because
ps p $$ -o pid=,comm=
gave you a two-column output but
ps -p $$ -o pid=,comm=
would give you a one column output with the header ",comm="
The -p versus p means (to ps) you want sysv or bsd parsing.
Unix98 standard or not, this is plainly just silly.
The commit removes any of the quirks Unix98 has with user defined
output. If you really wanted a ps header with commas in the output,
today isn't your day.

Ok, here is that rather major internal redesign hinted
at in the three previous commits. Its need was quickly
revealed after adapting top then attempting to display
newly added 'CGNAME' fields and an existing 'CGROUPS'.
That very quickly generated a SEGV. And the reason was
just as quickly recognized. Both fields relied on that
proc_t.cgroup member yet whichever result structure is
first in a stack is the one which assumes ownership of
of the vectored sting by resetting its cgroup to NULL.
So this commit introduces reference counting for a few
of the fields in the proc_t. Specifically there are 17
entries in the Item_table dealing with strings/vectors
where ownership is transferred to newlib. Now whenever
such fields are represented more than once in a stack,
the strings will be duplicated instead of transferred.
In this way we can generally remain optimized avoiding
string copies, yet still accommodate them when needed.
There's an exception to this scheme: those true string
vectors (CGROUP_V, CMDLINE_V and ENVIRON_V). When such
fields are duplicated in a stack the result structures
beyond the first will be set to NULL, which the caller
will (should) already be equipped to deal with anyway.

The ps program was modified to print the control group
names, based on the library provided list of all those
control groups to which a process belongs. But this is
probably something the newlib should be doing for all.
So this commit borrows the ps approach to cg names and
thus will make that available to all future consumers.

w would error out if the window size was smaller than 71 or some
other fields through environment grew too big. The code was a little
convoluted as well. The minimum length for command was 3, which is
pretty useless.
This change does the following:
w doesn't care by default the window size
w will adjust the command length up and down, to a minimum of 7
characters.
if the fields don't fit, w will line-wrap each line.
The idea being its better the line-wrap than it is to error out.
