This commit only eliminates two 'nop' instructions and
one 'jmp' instruction. However, it makes that C source
code look a little bit prettier than it looked before.

This patch eliminates one variable which resulted in a
corresponding elimination of three 'mov' instructions.

vmstat - align wording with proc manpage to clarify ambiguities (rhbz#1796043)
watch - manpage presumes ntp tools are present by default (which they're not on rpm and deb distros, rhbz#1583669)
We won't go as far as the merge request shown below in
increasing buffer size, but we'll reduce substantially
total iterations while growing it to achieve one read.
[ and this seems in line with what was recently done ]
[ to accommodate the massively parallel environments ]
[ thru 2 abreast ('4') and combined cpus ('!') modes ]

This commit is prompted by the preceding change to the

Thanks to Konstantin for discovering 2 problems in the
issue referenced below. That 15+ year old logic went a
little too far overboard wrestling with a utf8 string.
Henceforth, we will not treat 'x9b' as special. And we
also will handle a 'combining acute accent' correctly.

I've grown to hate that man document rendering when it
comes to hyphenation. So this patch will eliminate it.
And we'll also eliminate an unnecessary initialization
in that top program code concerned with combined cpus.

This ensures that a single '4' keystroke will reliably
toggle the new 2 abreast mode ON. Depending on whether
an older configuration file existed or whether top was
configured with '--disable-modern-top', keying the '4'
for a second time might otherwise have been necessary.

The previous PRETEND8CPUS #define was recently changed
to PRETEND48CPU to better exercise the new '4' and '!'
toggles. But, the implementation simply duplicated the
/proc/stat summary line for each cpu. Therefore, every
cpu showed the same graph/detail (depending upon 't').
This patch shows the actual individual cpu information
(duplicated, of course, when total cpus are exceeded).

This patch will address Craig's feedback regarding the
original implementation of top's two new toggles. It's
likely other users would have questioned why they were
not saved also, once they discover these new features.
And, since the minimum terminal width was just lowered
to 80 columns, the default for window #1 is also being
changed to show the individual cpu graphs two abreast.

I'm about to break older top rcfile compatibility when
preserving those two new toggles. And, though this has
happened several times over the years, we never issued
any warnings that such thing was just about to happen.
So, this patch corrects the long standing shortcoming.

For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

This patch simply allows for better testing of our two

When implementing that earlier '4' toggle, in response
to the issue referenced below, I got to thinking about
those environments with massively parallel processors.
Such environments may not benefit from the '4' toggle.
So, I decided to implement a feature that could enable
use of those '1' and/or '4' toggles no matter how many
active processors top may have ultimately encountered.
With the new '!' toggle, adjacent cpus can be combined
to any degree, represented as a single cpu group/line.

In the back of my mind, I've always wanted to enable a
two abreast cpu display. Folks with massively parallel
machines must surely have been frustrated with the '1'
toggle when Off (individual cpus in the Summary Area).
So, I'll use that recently raised issue shown below as
a justification for finally implementing this feature.

Reverted the translation hint as the fields are used for both
normal and wide modes, so need to fit the smaller of the two.
Added NEWS item
References:
commit 01c1b2345e
From http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html:
(22) starttime %llu
The time the process started after system boot. In
kernels before Linux 2.6, this value was expressed
in jiffies. Since Linux 2.6, the value is expressed
in clock ticks (divide by sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)).
The referenced commits enavled both pkill and kill to send an integer to
the killed or signalled process. The test_process now will report on the
integer if sent and the testsuite changes take advantage of this
new feature.
Another process make/destroy set had to be made as using spawn
instead of exec changes both the SID and TTY for the underlying
process, making other tests fail.

@steffhip found that while the translation hint said use 9 characters in
the free headers, it really was only 7.
Currently each line is constructed with the following (in non wide format):
Header + 6 Columns. The header takes 7 characters and each column is 11
characters wide and prefixed with one space. Thus we have
7 + (1 + 11) * 6 = 79 characters for each line
By dropping the leading space for the first column after the header -the
header is already terminated by a colon- one could indeed provide the needed
9 letters for the header and thus have 9 + 11 * 1 + (1 + 11) * 5 = 80 Chars
per line which would fit into one line.
Well, shit! With release 4.0 on March 25th the lxc/lxd
folks have stuck it to us once again. They changed the
cgroup lxc prefix used to identify the container name.

Reimplementation of pidof for procps toolset contains sort of deactivated code and does not return results for processes without task.cmdline entry (usually kernel worker threads). Old pidof and pgrep do that in comparison. Despite all perks provided by using pgrep instead, pidof should show those workers again.
