4f33b6b8c5 top: offer define to allow/suppress excessive SIGWINCH
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!
(actually 0 lines, since the define disables one line)

(everything is perfectly justified plus right margins)
(are completely filled, but of course it must be luck)

dd357e70e7 top: immunize against window manager flood of SIGWINCH
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.

de6df7d736 top: refactor all the low-level i/o logic for SIGWINCH
This commit primarily involves renaming functions plus
reorganizing logic in preparation for the next changes
which will hopefully yield the 'final solution' to the
excessive SIGWINCH signals under most window managers.

In this specific patch, the most significant change is
the introduction of a new 'ioa' function (io avail) to
focus all logic dealing with unsolicited user keyboard
input and exposed to signals and/or optional timeouts.

That new function is where our signal overload will be
ultimately defeated, if it is at all humanly possible.

ba9092ad83 top: preserve current screen when receiving a SIGWINCH
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
position regardless of what screen he/she was viewing.

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
* sigprocmask logic was normailize to the bare minimum
* the POSIX.1-2004 async-signal safe functions used in
` the signal handlers were acknowledged and documented

7060f9ab3a top: circumvent an ncurses version 5.9.20121017 glitch
Some testing under a new distro revealed what appeared
to be a broken top Inspect request. When the selection
was made, the resulting output was scrambled/scrunched
at the bottom of the screen (as if ^J's were missing).

This anomaly surfaced under Fedora-18 which happens to
use the above ncurses version. The bug was not present
in version 5.9.20120714 (available with openSUSE 12.2)
or the more widely available version of: 5.9.20110404.

It has now been confirmed that this problem originated
in version 5.9.20120825. It was then that buffering of
output was changed from stdio to some internal ncurses
scheme so as to avoid problems with its SIGTSTP logic.

Thanks to a very prompt response from Thomas E. Dickey
we also learned that contrary to the documentation the
putp logic does not call putchar internally. Thus, the
single putchar that Inspect was employing was actually
mixing 2 different buffering schemes: ncurses & stdio.

Thus, from now on we'll use putp() exclusively and try
to achieve single char output as efficiently as we can
while meeting that putp() string argument requirement.

d9f7c76114 top: prevent display corruption in Locate highlighting
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.

a93f23e6ef top: place inspect demo buffer on par with read buffer
Both of the 'file' and 'pipe' Inspect read buffers are
always 2048 bytes bigger than is actually needed which
provided for some slightly simplified row paint logic.

However, with no real rcfile inspect entries, and thus
operating in 'demo' mode, the allocated buffer is only
2048 bytes total. This can produce a valgrind warning.

This commit simply puts the inspect 'demo' buffer on a
par with other allocated real buffers (an extra 2048).

2304af908c top: extend command line sort field override provision
In a effort to anticipate a potential future wishlist,
the recent '-o' sort override command line switch will
now support an override of the sort direction as well.

By prepending a '+' or '-' to any valid field name the
user will be able to guarantee a specific desired sort
direction. The '+' forces a high-to-low (normal) order
while a '-' reverses that to yield a low-to-high sort.

Without this addition users would be left to the mercy
of whatever was last specified for Curwin as reflected
in the rcfile or top's default of a high-to-low order.

2e7adced74 top: extend scaled process memory range to include PiB
The recent change to task area memory scaling was just
a little short of optimum in its consistency and upper
limits. In fact, top could only scale memory fields up
to a maximum of 99.9999 TiB (with VIRT a little more).

While that seems like more than enough it was actually
artificially low, due to an unnecessary decimal place.

So, this commit standardizes both precision and widths
to achieve a minimum amount of scaling beyond the user
requested target plus reclaim some horizontal spacing.

. VIRT & DATA are now 7 bytes wide (not eight and six)
. other memory fields are 6 wide (were formerly seven)
. as before, KiB shows whole numbers only (no decimal)
. MiB, for its precision, shows a single decimal place
. all other memory ranges display three decimal places

The net result is a more homogeneous display with less
forced scaling and the recovery of three lost columns.

9f4e72b208 top: do not catch SIGHUP, when operating in batch mode
This commit was adapted from the openSUSE patch, whose
original comments appear between the --- marker below.

It should be noted, however, that the original changes
were ineffective (wasted) because 'Batch' mode had not
yet been set when signals were being checked and their
handlers established. Thus, SIGHUP was never bypassed.

(of course, only our comments are perfectly justified)

------------------------------------------------------
Do not setup SIGHUP signal handler if we are in the batch mode

Top enables a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal (loss of terminal).  While
this makes sense for top's default interactive mode, it doesn't make any sense
for batch mode. If you run top in nohup just to collect data over time and
disconnect top finishes which is not what one would expect.

21e550bc08 top: provide the means to adjust scaled process memory
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.

p.s. and it will be rcfile preserved for any restarts!

bc46f67f9a top: provide the means to adjust scaled summary memory
Earlier this year, the switch from KiB to Mib as shown
in top's summary area was postponed to those occasions
when KiB exceeded 8 digits. In hindsight that may have
moved top in the wrong direction, given the difficulty
of digesting such large numbers of digits at a glance.

This commit adds a new 'E' interactive command used to
cycle the displayed memory amounts ranging from KiB to
TiB. Thus, users can choose the radix they wish shown.

407d1fc8f2 top: provide command line sort field override switches
This commit adds two new command line switches dealing
with the potential need to automate/script the setting
of top's current sort field independent of the rcfile.

The -o (lower case) switch requires a lone valid field
name as an argument, from among the 42 currently used.
Then, it overrides the config file's Curwin->sortindx.

And since field names are now translatable, they could
diverge from those reflected in the documentation. So,
a 2nd switch of -O (upper case) is also provided which
outputs all names as translated and understood by top.

73d83ec1c2 top: add pseudo type to the inspect demo '=' provision
When 'type' was added to the alternate status line for
the '=' key, the need for the demonstration 'type' was
overlooked. This commit avoids the '(null)' potential.

(now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one)
(everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck)

c1f10d11bc Allow core file generation by ps command (rhbz#871825, rhbz#512857)
Since the ps command handles signals with it's own handler, it doesn't create
core files when something wrong happens. The attached patch restores the ps
command ability to create core files by calling the default handler once we
print our custom message. The original RH's workaround masked SIGABRT and
SIGSEGV signals and that would conflict with the original intention of the
custom signal handler and also with the filtering patch I sent in my previous
email. Moreover, this solution generates core for all relevant signals (SIGFPE,
etc.).

cfd0dbd336 ps.test: see truncated user/group names as valid
With ps now truncating the names instead of chaning to UIDs for long
usernames, the check needs to be updated too

eeafd6cfe0 top: highlight all regular search string(s) when found
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.

(everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck)

5a0614e452 top: provide inspect selections with separate searches
This commit extends Inspect provisions for 'find/next'
to each individual selection. Thus a user can maintain
multiple active searches without having to reissue the
locate command whenever the current selection changes.

To emphasize this feature the View screen now displays
the current active locate string or 'N/A' if inactive.
Such a reminder is important when no found matches are
present on the 1st display page, given that they would
otherwise be apparent via the additional highlighting.
