My, how time flies. Here we are finally attending to a
2 year old issue at long last (well, at least top is).
In truth, this change was prompted by that more recent
issue #201 and simply represents my initial picks from
among those available with the new library provisions.
Note: we have to bump that rcfile version whenever new
fields are added. That will mean older top programs no
longer can read this top's rcfile. But that's Ok since
top offers a warning before replacing an older rcfile.
Doubtless, more smaps_rollup fields will be introduced
under top as we get more experience with this feature.
However, any such usage comes with tremendoud costs as
was reported for the previous patch and repeated here:
Here is a small preview of just what you will discover
when using this command line: time top/top -d0 -n1000.

A couple of people have suggested that smaps_rollup be
added to the ps program and/or top program. This patch
is intended to set the stage for just such extensions.
There are currently 20 displayable items in the rollup
file. And newlib sometimes uses sscanf when populating
the target, sometimes hsearch and one customized gperf
approach. None of these fit well with the smaps items.
Thus, an approach using a simple table lookup was used
and, by disabling 1 code line, it could be made immune
from changes to the items order (unlike a sscanf call)
and doesn't carry the greater cost of a hsearch/gperf.
Note: The next patch will allow top to display some of
these new fields. Then, it'll be possible to determine
the colossal costs of accessing the smaps_rollup file.
Here is a small preview of just what you will discover
when using the command 'time top/top -d0 -n1000' while
configured with just two fields: PID + 1 memory field.

Since 2.6.24/33 the kernel knows about guest and guest nice time. That
is the time that is spend in KVM guests. To handle userspace programs
that do not know about this the guest time is also added to user.
Let us provide a guest time column in vmstat that collects both guest
and guest nice into a gu value.
We also subtract that value from the user time as we are now aware of
the guest value.
This commit is different to !113 in several ways:
* newlib already knows about these to values
* vmstat summary already shows these values
* non-wide vmstat squishes the values
So its around the wide vmstat output.

. io accounting added
commit a7afe06e6f
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This is a modification of MR !122 by @renit1609 to fit the new
library.
Problem statement:
The procps library has no PROC_FILLIO flag to
fetch the proc field "/proc/[pid]/io" data
process-wise.
IO Accounting is not included as part of procps.
Requirement:
We have a requirement to fetch process wise
IO utilization which can be used for monitoring.
When looking through the procps library, I see
that IO Accounting (/proc/[pid]/io) is not being
included as part of procps. There is no such
flag like PROC_FILLIO being included in readproc.h .
Solution:
While looking at the implementation done for
other proc fields, I used the spare bits in app code.
I renamed PROC_SPARE_1 as PROC_FILLIO, the spare bit from
PROC_SPARE_* and used it for fetching /proc/[pid]/io
data as part of the procps library similar to other
fields. I moved the PROC_SPARE_* bits each by 1 bit
to retain the spare bits. Meanwhile added the IO fields
in proc_t structure.

This simple two line code change fixes an intermittent
bug whereby %CPU for parent(s) with collapsed children
could be vastly understated from those displayed under
the current 3.3.17 publicly available top & libprocps.
If one started several top instances in the background
using very a small delay interval (zero?), then if the
shell under which they were running was collapsed, you
would see similar %CPU results for both the libraries.
However, when running a demanding 'make' like a kernel
compile (especially if backed by fast processors and a
SSD), then newlib would generally show only 1/3 to 1/2
of the collapsed %CPU values that appeared for 3.3.17.
Of course, now that the bug has been swatted with this
commit the disparities between those results is easily
explained. Since newly created tasks never contributed
tics during the interval where they were created, only
with many short lived tasks would differences surface.

The pgrep code checks to see if the program is run as pkill or pidwait

vmstat -d testsuite will fail if your /proc/diskstats is present
but zero length. While this seems buggy behaviour from lxcfs, its
there and its a simple matter to test for it and skip those tests
if we are run on a zero length /proc/diskstats system.
The ps.1 manpage incorrectly stated that psr field showed the
processor the process was assigned to. However if the assignment
has changed but the process has not run, then the field doesn't
change.
Some digging by @srikard showed it wasn't the processor assigned
but the last one it was run on. The man page now correctly
describes psr in that way.

top: In the bye_bye function, replace fputs with the write interface.
When top calls malloc, if a signal is received, it will
call sig_endpgm to process the signal. In the bye_bye function, if the
-b option is enable, the Batch variable is set, the fputs function
will calls malloc at the same time. The malloc function is not reentrant, so
it will cause the program to crash.

This small change was a result of some experimentation
trading our current 'hsearch' hash scheme for 'gperf'.
I discovered that when the ':' character was a part of
each 'gperf' key, that generated search logic was more
complicated and thus slower. But without a ':', it was
a little cleaner/leaner and therefore slightly faster.
Assuming that the same trailing ':' *might* affect the
current 'hsearch' logic, to be safe we will remove it.
[ while the 'gperf' version will slightly outperform ]
[ an 'hsearch', too many ugly implementation details ]
[ were exposed which complicates future maintenance. ]

This patch will condense some logic in those functions
associated with the file input operations. The changes
will not, for the most part, alter any generated code.
More significantly (though not very) was the change to
two 'strtoul' calls. Since the returned 'endptr' value
isn't exploited, when that parm is set to NULL, we can
save one instruction on each side of such calls (wow).

What to call the new library?
Keep using libprocps wouldn't do, its a very different library from
the programs' point of view. It would also mean we could have some
clashes around the packages (two package names, same library name).
The ancient procps used libproc or libproc-a.b.c where a.b.c was the
package version. Kept the revision numbers down (it was always 0.0.0)
but the name of the library changed.
So if we use libproc-2 is there a clash with an ancient procps?
procps v 2.0.0 was around in 1999 so it was 22 years ago, also the
name of the library would have been libproc-2.0.0.so not libproc-2.so
so we're fine with that.
libproc-2 seems to fit, our second major re-work of the procps
library.

Maybe, the biggest obstacle to successfully exploiting
this new library is after those `stacks' are returned.
Unless a user requests all available `items', there is
always a need to translate an actual enumerator into a
relative position within returned stack(s) of results.
So, this patch attempts to bridge that gap by adding a
brief explanation to the existing discussion in Usage.
