These xalloc functions are a private function for the library. If using
programs need them, then they should make their own error reporting or
use a common file.
Slackware seems to have this patch, while it is not in use(?) Well,
the upstream procps-ng allows one to disable warnings if that is
wanted. After all having this sort of 'feature' does not cost much,
while lacking it might annoy someone.
A patch from Slackware.

Previously the version of libproc always tracked the version of procps.
This doesn't work when other non-procps programs link to the library as
they are always playing catch up.
This change makes the library version independent of the procps version.
It will only be incremented when needed.
Commit a5881b5a4e, addressing
command lines with a trailing space, produced an undesirable
side effect in the fill_cgroup_cvt() function.
This patch restores correct cgroup behavior while still
producing command lines with no trailing space.
When PROC_FILLARG was used (invoking file2strvec)
command lines contained no trailing space.
When PROC_EDITCMDLCVT was used (invoking read_unvectored)
command lines contained a trailing space.
Now both routes to a cmdline act the same -- no trailing space.
The CodingStyle document suggests programs should allow for
cmdlines of at least 128k. Only the ps program can display
such a cmdline, and only with multiple -w switches.
The library function file2strvec can essentially return
a cmdline of unlimited length. However, the library function
fill_cmdline_cvt used an arbitrary upper limit of 2048 for
buffers automatically allocated on the stack.
This patch raises the fill_cmdline_cvt upper limit to 128k via
dymaically acquired utility buffers ensured by the openproc
function.
It also makes indentation consistent in the openproc function.
There were numerous library memory allocation inconsistencies.
Some were checked for failure and others were not.
All library source modules were modified to utilize the alloc.h
memory rouines which are consistent in dealing with errors.
A callback provision in the form of xalloc_err_handler
(of type message_fn) was added to the alloc module.
This change allowed a program like top, who alters the
termios structure, to override the default fprint(stderr...)
behavior in the event of an error.
The new function xstrdup was also added for symmetry.

For the small number of devices that we cannot get Hertz out of ELF
notes but the cpu numbers make sense (ie not kFreeBSD) there is a hack
by using the CPU numbers. The problem is there was 4 numbers, now there
are 7. This fixes the hack by adding all 7 to get a more correct number.
This is from Debian patch sysinfo_7_numbers
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/460331
FreeBSD has no good way of finding the Hertz value. ELF notes don't
work, you can't find it in a function and even asm/params.h does
not have it. Lucky for us, it is always 100.
Based upon Debian patch patch sysinfo_kfreebsd_hertz by Petr Salinger
Bug-Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/460331
Caution, 460331 has lots of overlapping bugs all around the Hertz
problem across many arches.
Suppresses a message about elf notes not found on non-Linux systems.
kFreeBSD systems, for one, don't have this so the message appears
every time you run a procps program otherwise.

This will revert change at Oct 2002 when autotools support was
removed.
Unlike before the package developers are expected to use
./autogen.sh to generate ./configure script, and run make after
that. The build system is also able to create, with make dist, a
tar ball release which compiles correctly, and has files which
seemed to be important to have.
The patch removes few unnecessary files, but no everything. Files
procps.lsm and procps.spec in git repository are useless as is,
but I left them lying around for someone who can make more
justified call about removal of them.
Last, but not least package version number is set 3.3.0 to
distinct this procps from the sourceforge's upstream procps.
Please notice that libproc relese is kept as 3.2.8.

fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt
. generalized read_cmdline function as read_unvectored, now
exploited by fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt, read_cmdline

with distinction between control chars + other unprintable
. added escaped_copy function for already escaped strings

Read the time of system boot from /proc/stat (entry: btime) instead
of computing it as the difference between the current time and the
uptime. This is the only way to get a consistent result which won't
possibly change from one run to the next.
The problems with the original code were:
* Both the current time and the uptime are rounded down to the second,
but the system doesn't boot on an integer second value so they do not
tick at the same moment. Thus, the rounding errors can cause a one
second difference from one run to the next.
* We can't read the uptime and the current time at the exact same moment
anyway, so the time difference we compute is bound to be inaccurate.
