When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the memory field widths were widened
slightly so unscaled KiB values could be provided more
consistently and scaled values (beyond MiB) could show
3 decimal places of precision. However, some users may
prefer the former widths/precisions for memory fields.
This commit will provide a build time configure option
to return top to those former defaults as a compliment
to a new %CPU & %MEM field precision configure option.

When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the percentage columns were expanded
to provide 3 decimal places of precision. In hindsight
that may have been overkill, making those columns more
of a distraction than useful, with just too much info.
This patch will revert those columns to the former one
decimal place. And as was true, that decimal point may
be sacrificed depending on the number of cpus present.
And, in case anyone might prefer additional precision,
a build option can provide it (--enable-wide-percent).

The NUMA/Nodes support in top has gone through several
evolutions (primarily dealing with build-sys options).
With this commit the library dependency issues are now
moot and the responsibilities for run-time loading and
dynamic linking are assumed by the top program itself.
Henceforth, if top is executed in an environment where
libnuma.so is present, top will offer such extensions.
Even more importantly, when a missing libnuma is later
installed, top will offer numa support auto-magically.
All NUMA/Node build-sys dependencies are thus removed.
The former NUMA_ENABLED define has become NUMA_DISABLE
should anyone wish to test user interface implications
in an environment that *does* have libnuma. It is also
represented as the ./configure option: --disable-numa.
Lastly, the 't' (View_STATES) toggle will be forced on
for sanity whenever the '1', '2' or '3' keys are used.

This commit extends the top Summary Area cpu states to
include information on Non-Uniform Memory Architecture
nodes. It is based upon changes originally proposed by
Lance Shelton who was instrumental in the final patch.
With this change, the user will have new commands that
will provide alternatives to the individual cpu stats:
. '2' toggles between cpu & numa node summary displays
. '3' provides node summary and related cpu statistics
These extensions required some minimal system support.
Typically, the numactl package (and maybe libnuma-dev)
are all that's needed to show a single node which owns
all the processors. Failing that, or for slightly more
variety, top also offers a #define named PRETEND_NUMA.

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
if top is suspended while on the 2nd level help screen
the <Enter> key is no longer honored. Thus, users must
use <Esc> to exit help and return to the main display.
Also, line input that was only partially complete when
suspended would still require one additional keystroke
before the read was aborted and the display refreshed.
Lastly, some user interactions might require two input
lines before an operation can be considered completed.
Thus the 2nd line offers another opportunity for users
to suspend top. Resumption would require an extra key.
These issues stem from 2 recent enhancements: preserve
the user context when signaled; complete input editing
with cursor movement keys, insert/overtype modes, etc.
With this patch, the <Enter> key is once again honored
on help screen #2 and partial reads are now completed.

With this commit, that has been changed so any matched

No top #define is enabled and that constitutes default
behavior. So whenever a default behavior should change
the define must be changed too if it is to remain off.
This commit simply changes top's default behavior with
respect to allowing/suppressing any potential flood of
SIGWINCH during resize operations, if running under X.
Formerly top would block those signals to reduce costs
of repeated refreshes. That yields a requirement where
the user would have to provide another keystroke for a
final display update. That keystroke may not always be
needed now, but it ultimately depends on some terminal
emulator's scrollback buffer. In any case, the cost of
re-sizing may go up a bit, under most window managers.

After carefully working our way to the point where the
excessive SIGWINCH interrupts are now throttled, along
comes a commit which reverses all those prior efforts.
Actually it doesn't. It simply allows one to choose if
all those efforts should be reversed or remain active.
Why in the world would you even want to consider that?
Quite simply, to opt for responsiveness over overhead.
Oh, and depending on the terminal emulator used for X,
by enabling this OFF_SIGWINCH #define you will be able
to avoid the need for an extra keystroke after resize.
Besides it was an interesting programming challenge to
see just how few lines of code would be needed to make
it possible. Bottom line? Only 1 source line required!

Whew, it was nip-and-tuck there for awhile but finally
we solved the SIGWINCH overload problem one finds with
most X window managers. Now if a window manager should
try to inundate ol' top with repeated SIGWINCH signals
they won't even be received so can't impact us at all.
And we achieve this miracle having never even issued a
sigprocmask, so all the top code executes with signals
totally unblocked. Intuition suggests it probably rubs
even more salt in the wound, but au contraire mon ami!
The key to our success was simply trading the 'select'
call for its cousin 'pselect'. Not only does that call
provide nanosecond granularity (vs. the former's usec)
but it takes a sigset_t parm which can then atomically
block the troublesome SIGWINCH guy until user input or
optional timeout. Net result? No more signal overload!
Now, if only we could just coax all terminal emulators
into one identical standard buffering scheme plus find
some way to emulate the most recent SIGWINCH, it would
be perfect. We would then obviate the user requirement
of typing yet 1 more key before seeing proper results.

Prior to this commit, top has always taken the easiest
(safest?) approach when dealing with those troublesome
SIGWINCH interrupts. Whenever the user was on a screen
other than the main display, any signal received would
force an immediate exit, returning to the main screen.
With these changes, top will retain the user's current

In support the following additional changes were made:
* the initial help screen requires an explicit end key
` not 'any other key' formerly used to request an exit
* the colors mapping screen instructions were improved
* ^Z response was made immediate, eliminating the flag
* the sigaction's SA_RESTART flag had to be eliminated

There existed a small chance that the display could be
corrupted when a search string was found within a row.
For that to happen, conditions like these were needed:
. a very short Locate string was active in some window
. the string matched part of a terminfo <esc> sequence
. that sequence was used in highlighting running tasks
. the 'x' toggle was active (sort column highlighting)
One solution to this potential problem was to manually
turn off sort column highlighting before using Locate.
But rather than rely on a user remedy, we'll automate.
Since other top provisions were already being enforced
when Locate was in use (off 'i' and/or 'u'/'U'), we'll
now also force column highlighting off when the search
string in a given window is not empty. However, unlike
idle tasks and user filtering, when that search string
*is* emptied, we restore highlighting for that window.

This commit is an unrequested outgrowth of the earlier
change dealing with summary area memory field scaling.
That user selectable scaling provision is now extended
to include 6 (at present) task oriented memory fields.
The new companion 'e' (lower case) interactive command
has been added and, like the 'E' command, it can cycle
each of the currently displayed memory columns between
KiB through TiB. There are, however, some differences.
Where '+' indicates summary area truncation at a given
radix, task memory fields are automatically scaled for
their column. Thus, not all rows use the same scaling.
And, while summary area field widths were not changed,
the task memory columns were widened in order to offer
more meaningful data when the radix was increased. The
precision is automatically increased in step with each
radix: MiB displays 2 decimal places, GiB 3 and TiB 4.
To compliment that additional precision, both the %CPU
and %MEM fields were widened by 1 column and now offer
precision up to 3 decimal places. But, unique to %CPU,
widening could already have occurred due to the number
of processors in some massively parallel boxes. At any
rate, total extra width for both memory and percentage
fields could amount to twenty (precious) columns more.
So for both the memory and % fields the original width
(along with loss of precision) can be restored via new
compiler conditionals which this commit also provides.

With the recent inspect search highlight provisions in
place, the lack of highlighting in task based searches
has grown from being only irritating to a real defect.
Thus, this commit introduces parallel functionality to
those searches initiated within a visible task window.
And just as separate inspect searches are possible for
each selection, per window task searches are provided.
However, it should be noted that there are differences
between task based searches and inspect type searches:
* There is no concept of out-of-view data when dealing
. with task rows -- if the data can't bee seen, it has
. not, in fact, been constructed from a proc_t struct.
* While inspect data is output at the character level,
. up to now all task display data was only potentially
. output and it was always based on a complete string.
* With task search highlighting, rows now containing a
. match must be output in pieces and, therefore, can't
. be optimized away like other rows which haven't been
. been altered. This is because top cannot predict the
. the contents of a search string or, how many matches
. might occur in a given row. Short search strings and
. many matches would raise buffer needs geometrically.

to each individual selection. Thus a user can maintain

Such a reminder is important when no found matches are

However, top won't emulate every 'less' behavior since
the following are seen as flaws in the user interface.
* when viewing true binary data, less makes no attempt
. to smooth the right margin by truncating unprintable
. symbols, thus creatng ragged unappealing right edges
* when viewing true binary data, less will always fail
. search requests regardless of surrounding characters
* less refuses to bring out-of-view found matches into

Previously top would warn users if an older version of
an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming
that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however,
other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended.
For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had
overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry
was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f')
then top would silently accept it but look no further.
With this commit top will try to process every inspect
entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all
other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to
the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given.

This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability. Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.
It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.
A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display. Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view. And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.
Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.
There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile. And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.
Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data. Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.
The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.
Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries. Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.

The 'refactor and enhance column width management'
recent redesign produced many subsequent benefits,
the latest of which is automatically sized fixed-width
non-scalable columns.
As expected, there was a cost associated with these
many enhancements. That cost has now been identified
as a 1-4% performance degradation, depending on which
fields are being displayed.
This increased cost arises principally from current
drawing related function calls, whereas top-3.3.3 did
most of its drawing via macros effectively inlining
those duties.
This commit inlines the equivalent drawing functions,
thus eliminating the function call penalty, and places
this top on a par with top-3.3.3. The trade off is a
modest additional 4k in executable size.

The recent introduction of a column widths override
(the 'X' command) provided for a user input amount
to be added to default field size which ranged from
5 to 10 bytes.
While that approach could prevent truncated data, the
different default sizes would almost certainly mean
some precious screen real estate was waisted.
This commit introduces the concept of dynamic widths
where top will add only enough to a field default to
prevent truncation for that specific field.
Now users have a choice between their explicit width
override or a width chosen by top to exactly match
display needs. The former is immediate but likely
wastes some horizontal space while the latter is
iterative but will be sized precisely.

There are no restrictions on the amount added to

The TREE_RESCANS #define (formerly TREE_ONEPASS) has
been eliminated and the approach to forest view mode
redesigned. The chance of dangling children has been
eliminated and overhead reduced.
We now order processes on start_time (non-display)
and are therefore immune to any pid, ppid or tgid
anomalies when pid values wrap.
The new algorithm also accommodates any distortions
caused by the 3.3 kernel 'hidepid' provisions --
something guaranteed to produce dangling children
under the former approach.

The recent introduction of scrollable variable width
columns makes a process 'environment' a potentially
useful addition to top's displayable fields.
This commit exploits the following new library flag:
PROC_EDITENVRCVT

In an effort to avoid dangling children when in forest
view mode, top defaulted to a complete rescan of every
proc_t for each child encountered.
That expense was never really cost justified and now
with the 3.3 kernel 'hidepid' provisions it no longer
can offer such protection.
With this commit, the TREE_ONEPASS define is changed
to TREE_RESCANS so as to reverse the default scan
behavior.

This commit represents mostly spelling corrections
in comments. It also includes a few very minor logic
changes/relocations.

With the introduction of intra-column scrolling, the
scroll coordinates message was enhanced to give some
hint of positioning within a scrolled column.
Rather than rebuild this somewhat costly string from
scratch with each frame, we'll now do the bulk of the
work only when column headers are constructed.
The only remaining per frame costs will then be the
addition of a few terminfo escapes and the current
Frame_maxtask count.

This commit introduces horizontal scrolling within any
variable width column. Thus, an entire command line,
complete list of control groups, etc. can now be
viewed -- not just a screen width's portion.
It is activated when any variable width column:
. is (via field selection) or
. has become (via the right arrow key)
the only displayed field.
Then, the right and left arrow keys can be used in the
normal way to continue scrolling within that column.
The amount scrolled with each key press is currently
set as the normal tab stop increment of 8 characters.
