A recent change involving a one cycle stderr redirect,
to handle a libnuma potential transgression, failed to
follow normal global variable naming conventions. This
patch will capitalize the 1st letter of 'Stderr_save'.

Surprisingly the code for the 'st' column was added in the past,
but wasn't enabled. The vmstat manual already contains the 'st'
column and this commit finally enables the feature.
This is a rework of the merge request #5 that unconditionally
forced the output to cross the 80 chars border.
With this commit users can switch to the wide output mode
with the -w option.
The recent addition of namespaces, combined with those
potential suse out-of-memory fields, means that we are
close to the maximum number of fields poor ol' top can
display. Imagine, the really old top was limited to 26
fields (28 with the suse hack) and this top had neared
the version 'g' rcfile limits which were a healthy 55.
This patch adds another 15 fields to the maximum while
making it even easier to increase in the future. Also,
top still silently accommodates older config files all
the way back to the original pre-ng version top-3.2.8!

While 'invisible' thread subdirectories are accessible
under /proc/ with stat/opendir calls, they have always
been treated as non-existent, as is true with readdir.
This patch trades the /proc/#/ns access convention for
the more proper /proc/#/task/#/ns approach when thread
access is desired. In addition some namespace code has
been simplified and made slightly more efficient given
the calloc nature of proc_t acquisition and its reuse.

This patch is inspired by the 'minimize numa overhead'
patch. It trades the use of subscripts for pointers to
avoid gcc repeated subscript offset calculation bloat.
Now, throughout the cpus_refresh function, a subscript
will be resolved just once & this will (dramatically?)
reduce the path-length taken for each and every frame!
For example, a non-optimized compilation could produce
400+ fewer machine instructions through pointer usage.
[ ok, optimized compiles only save 18+ instructions! ]
Lastly, any residual 'symmetry only' crap is now gone!

A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution
has caused me to reevaluate some associated numa logic
for efficiency. Here is a summary of the problems that
exist with current libnuma/user possible interactions:
. Whenever the numa library was present extra overhead
would always be incurred in maintaining the node stats
even when the '2' or '3' commands were not being used.
. As part of such overhead a separate loop was used to
reinitialize each cpu/node structure with each display
cycle so that prior accumulated totals were preserved.
Again, it didn't matter if numa data was really shown.
This commit attempts to refocus on the 'critical path'
costs in a running top by optimizing for the occasions
when numa node data is not being displayed. Under such
conditions, no extra overhead will be incurred whether
or not a distribution has the libnuma library present.
To achieve this goal, some additional overhead will be
incurred, but only when actually displaying numa data.
And all such new costs have been minimized in spite of
the gcc inclination to duplicate subscript resolution.

A recent libnuma potential corruption problem solution
suggests that libnuma could change in the future so as
to not spew to stderr. This then raises a question how
top could exploit any such library change since we are
currently locked into version #1 of the library by way
of our dlopen("libnuma.so.1", RTLD_LAZY) runtime call.
While not an ultimate solution, this commit will first
try for the most recent version of that library during
top's startup before trying the original libnuma.so.1.
We do this via the unqualified library soname symlink.
For this new dlopen() call to succeed, technically the
numa 'devel' package would usually have been required,
but that's not always true with every distro. And when
the libnuma.so symlink isn't present, it can always be
manually added should a newer & better behaved library
arrive & users tire of the stderr warning at top exit.

Confession is supposed to be good for the sole, right?
After a senior moment regarding the 'x' toggle quirks,
and thinking top had somehow regressed, I concluded an
additional explanatory note might well be appropriate.
Those quirks were already documented under the 5d & 5e
topics. But there was no such caution documented under
the 'x' command explanation itself, found in topic 4c.

There is a chance that the libnuma library may corrupt
top's display with some stderr warning messages in the
event something under /sys/devices/system/node/ cannot
be accessed. And, while 2 overridable 'weak' functions
are provided to alter such behavior, we can't use them
since top dynamically links to the library via dlopen.
This commit will redirect stderr to '/dev/null' during
just the first screen display cycle. Thus we can avoid
the corruption which would have remained visible until
the underlining screen row's data had finally changed.
Lastly, this patch should allow such a library warning
to actually appear when one finally exits our program.
[ i think the libnuma folks should consider changing ]
[ the error/warning interfaces to accommodate dlopen ]
[ rather than forcing something like the ugly kludge ]
[ we have employed or libnuma dependency on everyone ]

Library systemd-login offers possibility to display
name of a systemd slice unit for specific pid.
This patch adds output option "slice" which will
show name of systemd slice unit.
To maintain compatibility with non-systemd systems,
procps must be configured with --with-systemd option
to enable this option.
This commit introduces support for special %PPID value that
can be passed to the -o option as a substitution for parent
PID. It also allows users to use two additional separators
for omitted PIDs - colon and semicolon.
To assist the translators, each option is a separate string.
This means if we add/change/delete an option the remaining ones
will just keep working and only the impacted option needs some
translation work on it.
As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
Some Debian pbuilders error out on some of the tests because
they cannot find kill to kill the test processes. Now if we
cannot find kill we skip those lot of tests.
Still need to work out why the S390 doesn't like test_sched

When Other filtering was introduced the nature of what
constituted a displayed row changed. No longer would a
task_show() call guarantee that another line is shown.
Rather, a non-empty string must have also been tested.
Unfortunately, when any task window was being filtered
for 'idle' mode or a particular 'user', the proc index
was incremented twice due to the perils of copy/paste.
Combining such an index increment with the new test of
task_show results works fine if filtering is inactive.
This was a particularly insidious bug which meant that
an adjacent task would be skipped whenever the current
task met 'idle' and/or 'user' filter criteria, and was
not otherwise excluded due to 'Other' filter criteria.
And, since it was the very next task that was ignored,
the bug was very susceptible to a window's sort order.
This could be illustrated when filtering on some user,
while sorting on PID. Then, toggling Forest View could
make otherwise unseen tasks appear and then disappear.
User workarounds are possible via interactive commands
trading the 'i' and 'u'/'U' provisions for the 'o'/'O'
other filtering capability thus avoiding an extra i++.
But that is certainly less than ideal and doesn't help
the 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 distorted command line provisions.

Previously the shared memory column was always zero
for 2.6 series kernels (and later) due to the fact,
that the value was taken from the MemShared entry
that disappeared with 2.6 series kernels.
Later a new Shmem entry appeared in the /proc/meminfo
file and the 'shared' column now displays either
the MemShared or the Shmem value (depending on their
presence - the presence is mutually exclusive).
If none of the two entries is exported by the kernel,
then the column is zero.
An unpleasant thing happened when I comitted the shmem support
for the 'free' tool. We already had a merge request from
Adrian Brzezinski in the queue, doing exactly the same.
As Adrian deserves credits, I'm reverting the change
and re-applying with the next commit in order to make
him a part of the project history.
Normally, the internally tracked 'Screen_cols' can not
exceed the lessor of 512 or actual screen width. There
was one case, however, where that 512 byte upper limit
was no longer properly imposed as it should have been.
When operating in 'Batch' mode the actual screen width
was allowed to be exceeded when the optional -w switch
was also used. But, it should never have exceeded 512.
This patch ensures the upper limit is always observed.

When the final solution for cursor positioning for all
^Z or ^C cases was introduced the revised placement of
message line management introduced with the window mgr
'screen' refactor was retained. Those two commits mean
that a former tgoto was no longer needed when clearing

This patch eliminates the tgoto employed by frame_make

watch would only use an interval of up to 4294 seconds and silently
change to this limit. The 4294 seconds is 2^32/10^6 or how many
microseconds fit into unsigned int.
This change increases the limit to 2^32 seconds which is
approximately 136 years. This should be ok for now. Anything above
the old limit now uses sleep() instead of usleep() which only uses
integers (so 9999.123 seconds will be 9999 seconds)

Stephen Kratzer. The patch was updated to fit the current source.
