library: improve/standardize one interface, <STAT> api This commit represents a complete redesign of the stat interface. Gone are the confusing 8 separate accessors along with their 2 additional read functions. In their place we have just 3 accessors, with no read required. That old interface also suffered an inflexibility with respect to structures. Now we deal with an unchanging standard 'result' struct enabling future changes where the binary interface will no longer need to be broken. And gone is that former unnecessary typedef, used when dealing with jiffies. Now the standard C type is used. Our new API also adds some brand new functionality. If a caller plans to employ successive 'select' or 'reap' invocations, then delta values are available (which is actually only what that top program is interested in). At some future point a 'sort' function could be easily introduced to complement the 'reap' function. However, I saw no need for it at present and so it was omitted. There were several design decisions which everyone may not agree with. In support I'll offer these rationals: . The 'get' function returns a signed long long result which means a potential loss of some significance. But I felt the ability to distinguish actual errors (minus values) from true zero results were worth such a risk. . The DELTA item enumerators were also made signed and smaller than their parents. And they are intentionally grouped as last so as to emphasize those distinctions. . The SYS type items were excluded from the new 'reap' function. It would not make sense to duplicate them in each results stack. They're limited to 'get'/'select'. . By the same token, some items (DELTA, etc.) will not be allowed under that 'get' routine. That function was already open to significant internal overhead (through subsequent calls like in vmstat.c). That is why it has been limited via 1 second between reads of /proc/stat. Lastly, when we finally get around to documenting this interface there's a real potential toe stubber when it comes to the numa node portion. The libnuma.so doesn't really provide any means to retrieve the active nodes. Thus, any total reported by <stat> is just the highest node number plus one, as reported by the numa library. Any unused/inactive nodes are identified through these . PROCPS_STAT_TIC_ID shows as PROCPS_STAT_NODE_INVALID By the same token after the STAT_REAP_CPUS_ONLY 'reap' .

The #include header files are ordered alphabetically now, with all those <sys/??> types separately grouped. . Standard copyright boilerplate was added in .c file. . The header file follows the conventions of indenting (by 4 spaces) those parameters too lengthy for 1 line. ------------------------------------------------------ . The former 'chains' have now become 'stacks' without the 'next' pointer in each result struct. The pointers initially seemed to offer some flexibility with memory allocations and benefits for the library access logic. However, user access was always via displacement and a a statically allocated chain was cumbersome to define. . An enumerator ending in '_noop' will no longer serve as a fencepost delimiter. Rather, it has become a much more important and flexible user oriented tool. Adding one or more such 'items' in any items list passed into the library becomes the means of extending the 'stack' to also include user (not just library) data. Any such data is guaranteed to never be altered by the library. . Anticipating PID support, where many different types must be represented in a result structure, we'll adopt a common naming standard. And, while not every results structure currently needs to reflect disparate types a union will be employed so the same dot qualifier ('.') can be used consistently when accessing all such data.

library: readstat redesigned using 'stack' vs. 'chain' In addition to that text shown below the line which is common to several commit messages, this patch contains several minor changes with lessor impact upon the API: . A call to procps_stat_read_jiffs() has been added to those jiffs functions carrying the 'fill' nomenclature to parallel like functions in some of our other files. . The #include header files are ordered alphabetically now, with all those <sys/??> types separately grouped. . Standard copyright boilerplate was added in .c file. . The header file follows the conventions of indenting (by 4 spaces) those parameters too lengthy for 1 line. ------------------------------------------------------ . The former 'chains' have now become 'stacks' without the 'next' pointer in each result struct. The pointers initially seemed to offer some flexibility with memory allocations and benefits for the library access logic. However, user access was always via displacement and a a statically allocated chain was cumbersome to define. . An enumerator ending in '_noop' will no longer serve as a fencepost delimiter. Rather, it has become a much more important and flexible user oriented tool. Adding one or more such 'items' in any items list passed into the library becomes the means of extending the 'stack' to also include user (not just library) data. Any such data is guaranteed to never be altered by the library. . Anticipating PID support, where many different types must be represented in a result structure, we'll adopt a common naming standard. And, while not every results structure currently needs to reflect disparate types a union will be employed so the same dot qualifier ('.') can be used consistently when accessing all such data.

library: improve/standardize one interface, <STAT> api This commit represents a complete redesign of the stat interface. Gone are the confusing 8 separate accessors along with their 2 additional read functions. In their place we have just 3 accessors, with no read required. That old interface also suffered an inflexibility with respect to structures. Now we deal with an unchanging standard 'result' struct enabling future changes where the binary interface will no longer need to be broken. And gone is that former unnecessary typedef, used when dealing with jiffies. Now the standard C type is used. Our new API also adds some brand new functionality. If a caller plans to employ successive 'select' or 'reap' invocations, then delta values are available (which is actually only what that top program is interested in). At some future point a 'sort' function could be easily introduced to complement the 'reap' function. However, I saw no need for it at present and so it was omitted. There were several design decisions which everyone may not agree with. In support I'll offer these rationals: . The 'get' function returns a signed long long result which means a potential loss of some significance. But I felt the ability to distinguish actual errors (minus values) from true zero results were worth such a risk. . The DELTA item enumerators were also made signed and smaller than their parents.
