5321868929 library: Removed unused methods.
As part of the push to remove the old API, 3 more old calls were
deleted from the library. Now all someone needs to do is fix ps
and we're largely done.

a61f78d6e0 library: rework namespace calls
Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.

While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.

This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.

7e6a371d8a library: implement task/thread support via the new api
This commit is the culmination of efforts to modernize
the library api. It should be treated as a first blush
attempt, especially since I have absolutely no library
design experience. But I did have a very strong desire
to lessen the new library's impact on the top program.

Under this new api, a 'stack' is the equivalent of the
old proc_t. It can be seen as a variable length record
whose contents & order is under complete user control.

That initial stack/record configuration is established
at procps_pids_new() time and will probably serve most
program needs. But, a dynamic & demanding program like
top will later change a stack via procps_pids_reset().

For programs like top & ps, procps_pids_reap() will be
the function that will retrieve all tasks and threads.

Any program that needs to filter / select only certain
processes or users have available other functions that
can be used: procps_pids_stacks_alloc, fill & dealloc.

This implementation attempts to maximize that existing
proven libprocps code base. As we gain more experience
such actual code can be migrated into the pids.c file.

02b25a2eec library: vmstat redesign now 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:

. Standard copyright boilerplate was added in .c file.

. The #include header files are ordered alphabetically
now, with all those <sys/??> types separately grouped.

. 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.

5c3542c4e1 library: revised sort + new allocate APIs for slabinfo
With this patch, we will be close to an implementation
which will be needed when accommodating tasks/threads.
The following explanation was from an earlier message:

The slabtop requirements are similar to those of PIDs.
One must accommodate the variable number of slab nodes
(PIDs) while also accepting different data (char * and
unsigned long). Furthermore, some generalized means to
sort all that acquired stuff must somehow be provided.
------------------------------------------------------

So this patch expands the API to provide dynamic chain
allocation plus allow sorting of those dynamic chains.
While specific to slab needs (nodes, not global stats)
it is not too early to begin to think of newlib chains
as the opaque replacement for a deprecated old proc_t.

Better yet, any newlib chain is inherently variable in
length, something the old proc_t couldn't claim to be.
Of course, as we get to PIDs we'll want to grow/shrink
chains (easily accomplished with a special item enum).
And we'll want to grow/shrink those **head arrays too.
But these minor details don't seem insurmountable now.

aab537bc13 library: refactor meminfo providing dynamic allocation
An earlier approach to meminfo chaining, referenced in
the patch shown below, represents the first baby steps
toward the goal of some generalized approach with PIDs
processing. However, statically allocating a chain for
each task or thread is totally impractical. And, while
a single chain could serve all PIDs, that would mean a
separate call to our library for each running process.

This commit is intended as the next evolutionary step,
dynamically allocating some 'result' chains to contain
as many or as few 'items' as a caller wishes. In other
words, holding only those 'items' of current interest.

This is the kind of service useful for both top and ps
programs if we finally get around to /proc/<PID> data.

cf6c2155dc library: rebase & make current initial slabinfo effort
This was Craig's original patch, referenced below, but
it was never pushed to newlib. It has now been rebased
on top of some diskstat stuff to serve as a beginning.

The original effort was perfectly serviceable (after a
memory leak was fixed) but the approach would not have
served future PID needs when that proc_t went bye bye.

The slabtop requirements are similar to those of PIDs.
One must accommodate the variable number of slab nodes
(PIDs) while also accepting different data (char * and
unsigned long). Furthermore, some generalized means to
sort all that acquired stuff must somehow be provided.

So I wanted to try a different approach that seemed to
hold potential for satisfying future top and ps needs.
Subsequent commits will make that attempt, building on
Craig's original patch whose commit msg appears below.
------------------------------------------------------

All of the /proc/slabinfo related calls have been changed
here. They follow the same procps_slabinfo_* format.

Made both the slabtop and vmstat programs use the new
API as one was using the old one and one was just sort
of trying to do its own thing.

Sorting of slabnodes is also possible via the library.

e445f7e6c5 library: Update diskstat API
The calls for reading diskstat have been moved out of
sysinfo and into new files diskstat.[ch] These new
library calls follow the standard pattern for the
new libprocps.

vmstat is updated to use the new API and also got
the weighted IO time added.

vmstat -p previously would only show partitions, not
disks. There does not appear to be any good reason to
artifically deny a user to use this command on a disk,
rather than a partition so this restriction was lifted.

I also realised using int for devid means you can send
the library negative numbers, the index uses unsigned int.
Other similiar calls will need to be fixed too.

56399212c8 library: Remove signal name from library
Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.

This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:

For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.

For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.

To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c

73d7a18d66 library: extend cpu jiff logic beyond cpu summary info
There was not a way I could see to support top's needs
for cpu information with the new 'chained' provisions.
The sheer quantity of such data plus the unpredictable
number of potential processors suggested a totally new
approach was warranted while keeping internals opaque.

So this patch introduces two new structures solely for
use by potential callers (as seen in the API). They're
responsible for providing them to the library which is
then responsible for filling them with requested data.

The top program will continue to provide numa support,
without involving the library in any of those details.
[ not to mention all the 'dl' and 'stderr' numa crap ]

With this transfer of the cpu tics duty to our library
the provision associated with the CPU_ZEROTICS #define
could not initially be migrated. The commit referenced
below suggests it may have lost its importance. In any
case such logic may yet be incorporated in the future.
But for now, that #define has been completely removed.

6b8dc5511f library: refactor and rely on modern kernels for wchan
Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.

That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.

The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.
