An obscure bug has been discovered where a 'W' with an
old rcfile, warning against overwrite, would display a
cursor that should normally be hidden. This followed a
user's reply. So some logic was rearranged just a bit.

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.
Previously the libselinux support was present
in the sources, but disabled with a preprocessor
condition (#if 0).
From now the libselinux support can be enabled with
the --enable-libselinux switch available
in the configuration script. That way is more
flexible than local patches modifying the condition
value from 0 to 1.
pwdx rather mysteriously fails with "invalid process id" when run in a
nonexistent locale (e.g. "LC_ALL=foo pwdx $$"). This is because it
fails to obey the documented calling sequence for strtol - that is, set
errno to 0 before the call - and thus the errno from the setlocale
failure bleeds over into its check for whether strtol failed.

A recent patch introduced the ability to recognize the
need to reposition the cursor at suspension or program
end. There remained unmet 1 additional potential need.
This commit extends that ability to embrace line input
so that if a user issues ^Z or ^C while being prompted
the resulting shell output will no longer be embedded.

The title of this commit is actually quite misleading.
Were it more accurate, it would at least mention a tty
emulator's scrollback buffer, which was the cumulation
of a long pursuit to reduce the SIGWINCH overhead when
a window manager carelessly floods an application with
that signal *while* a user is still resizing a window!
Disabling and enabling that scrollback buffer resulted
in the final top display replaced with original screen
contents, a phenomenon acknowledged at the time but it
also represented a user interface change which has now
produced the first request for return to old behavior.
After the SIGWINCH dust settled, another problem arose
regarding behaviors under the 'screen' window manager.
In response, top was refactored a bit to avoid display
corruption. That was before discovering 'screen' could
duplicate the scrollback buffer behavior top expected.
As it turns out, the 'screen' refactoring had probably
made scrollback buffer manipulation unnecessary. Still
one could argue that a window should not be allowed to
scroll while a constantly updating program was active.
The solution represented in this commit returns former
behavior at program end (retaining top's last screen).
And if we ever wish to disable scrollback buffers, the
associated logic was retained but made conditional. It
is not reflected in configure.ac but might be someday.
Lastly, this commit corrects cursor positioning when a
^C is issued under 'Fields Management' at any terminal
that didn't have a scrollback buffer (i.e. a console).

When the plug-in approach to NUMA support was added, I
carelessly employed the compile-time linker convention
for naming the library. Technically this then required
the 'devel' package for NUMA support to be present for
the unqualified soname symlink to be available. Either
that or one must have manually created such a symlink.
This commit adds the missing major version to dlopen()
of libnuma.so.1 so simply having a more likely package
such as 'numactl' will enable both '2' & '3' commands.

If top were invoked under the 'screen' window manager,
writing the terminfo string 'exit_ca_mode' at top exit
would not restore the display to the state existing at
the time top was started. That's what occurs normally.
The net result of that failure was a corrupted screen.
However, there is a 'screen' configuration option that
will produce proper 'rmcup' behavior, but it is off by
default. That screencr option is known as 'altscreen'.
I stumbled across this provision by cloning the screen
git repository then searching for references to 'cup'.
If 'altscreen on' had been in either the /etc/screenrc
or the $HOME/.screenrc configuration file, my poor old
top would never have been accused of such corruptions.
Of course, the Programming Gods decree that any simple
solution for our problem must always be revealed last.
So before discovering that rc option, another approach
was taken involving top only. With just a little extra
refactoring of top display logic he was made immune to
any such quirk in the implementation of 'smcup/rmcup'.
I always feel good about any enhancement that actually
reduces the total number of lines of code. Even though
this change involved mostly rearranging some logic, it
yielded one less line (can't judge by diffstat because
of braces & notes). Anyway, rather than requiring some
change to a screenrc file, now we are self-sufficient.

prefer the former widths/precisions for memory fields.

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).

Function getbtime() currently makes the assumption that btime==0 equals
btime not being present in /proc/stat. This is not quite accurate, as
timestamp 0 is, in fact, also a valid time (Epoch), and /proc/stat may
report it as such.
We introduce a flag to indicate whether btime was found in /proc/stat.
In this way, btime==0 becomes a valid case, provided /proc/stat
actually reports this as the boot time.
procps can still detect the case of btime actually not being reported
by the kernel.

Been a while since we ran a re-scan over the autotools files. This
change modernises the configure file. Not a great deal of changes
required to bring us up to date, autoscan doesn't understand our
optional things, which is fine.
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.

Oh that poor ol' build system. With this patch it will
have gone through three separate incarnations in terms
of NUMA/Node support. Those 3 iterations consisted of:
1. A 'porridge too hot' where the top numa support was
enabled if it was built in the presence of libnuma and
the numa.h header. But if the numa library wasn't part
of core packages, that would have broken poor old top.
2. A 'porridge too cold' where numa support was off by
default and must have been explicitly enabled when the
./configure script was run. This could have meant that
distros might not distribute a numa-aware procps, even
though their numa library would have been distributed.
3. And this 'porridge' where the top numa support will
become a 'plug-in' feature activated when the presence
of libnuma.so can be verified at runtime. We'll do our
own loading and symbol resolution (with some help from
dlopen in libdl). Thus maintainers' responsibility for
enabling numa support and then satisfying that library
dependency is now an entirely optional --disable-numa.
As Goldilocks might say about our current configure.ac
"Ummm, I think this porridge tastes just about right".

One recent patch to dynamic buffer management involved
over-allocating the buffer increase to lessen calls to
xrealloc. That was successful, but the actual increase
amount did not attempt to optimize size or alignments.
With this commit, we'll copy an approach recently used
by the top program and round up buffer sizes to 1 KiB.
More importantly, while buffers are quickly reaching a
KiB optimum multiple, no memcpy will ever be employed!
To illustrate just how effective top's algorithm would
be, just change the initial and subsequent allocations
from the current 1024 bytes to just a single byte then
add an fprintf. Those one byte reallocations while on
the way to optimum buffer size will be a one-time cost
and won't represent any recurring performance penalty.

Almost forever, top has been accessing the /proc/stat/
directory one line at a time until either smp_num_cpus
was reached or (more recently) Screen_rows is reached.
When NUMA/Nodes support is enabled screen rows will no
longer serve as a limit because all cpus must be read.
With this commit, the entire /proc/stat/ directory can
be read at once so all statistics will be frozen. Thus
individual cpus will no longer keep "ticing" until top
gets around to accessing them via some separate fgets.
The distortion this commit eliminates was quite easily
seen when comparing old/new tops using: individual cpu
stats vs. cpu summary; a healthy delay interval of 3-5
seconds; manually synchronized update cycles (the hard
part); some system loading (maybe another top at -d0).
Additionally, this patch eliminates some long standing
unnecessary initialization made possible because of an
allocation via calloc. If some parts are never touched
by sscanf due to a kernel version, it's unnecessary to
repeatedly re-initialize those portions to zero again.
