In that commit referenced below, a new field was added
to the ps program which required adding 2 newlib items

That recent addition of USS to the ps program prompted
this change. Rather than have it (and soon top) add 2
separate items to yield the desired value, we will let
our new library perform the arithmetic when necessary.
Outside of a little extra storage, there is no runtime
costs for such an extension. There is, however, a real
benefit to having such code in the library. Now should
callers choose to sort on this new field, results will
be guaranteed to be what was expected (i.e. accurate).

In the patch referenced below, 2 potential abends were
fixed both of which involved 'alternate display mode'.
The root cause of those abends was a negative value in
the 'begnext' field for other than the current window.
And while that potential is fixed for now the existing
code almost invites such problems again in the future.
So, this patch will remove any temptation to name some
other window in the 'mkVIZrow1' macro. And, since that
macro is not the only source of 'begnext' changes, the
'mkVizrowX' is being added to identify such occasions.
[ and for symmetry i've added a 'mkVIZyes' macro and ]
[ ameliorated an otherwise surreptitious assignment! ]

The library added smaps_rollup fields in the referenced commit.
This commit exploits the new fields to give pss and uss options.
These options were first proposed back in 2015 by Petr Malat
and, with the library update, they are finally made it into ps.
Why use proportional or unique segment size? It is argued that
these give a better idea of the "real" memory usage of a process.

- Fix the base handling for human-readable output. The code used to
calculate *mebibytes* first, then scale that to the required exponent
with the selected base, which is patently wrong.

This commit will address potential abends upon leaving
the windows help or color mapping screens and invoking
alternate display mode ('A'). It only happens if that
current window was changed with multiple 'a'/'w' keys.
So now, rather than leaving a trail of negative values
in the 'begtask' field, compliments of that win_select
function, we'll remove the mkVIZrow1 macro. Henceforth
it will be issued just once per user interaction. Thus
a promise of 'Curwin' only being impacted is restored.

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.

with only PID + RES (statm)

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.

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.
