3e6a208ae5 top: allow more flexible approach for startup defaults
Those references below offer more detail regarding the
default startup changes beginning with version 3.3.10.

It is important to remember that all such changes were
supposed to impact only new users or users who had not
saved the personal config file (via that 'W' command).
However, I introduced a bug wherein the rcfile was not
fully honored. This gave the changes a bad reputation.

That bug was corrected in release 3.3.11 but the issue
of default startup options keeps resurfacing. And it's
clear there's no consensus on what should be included.

Our --disable-modern-top configure option is of little
help since it remains an all-or-nothing approach. What
we need is an answer offering unlimited customization.
So, this commit will provide distribution packagers or
system administrators with a much more flexible way to
set their own preferred startup default configuration.

A new rcfile is being introduced: '/etc/topdefaultrc',
whose format/content is the same as a personal rcfile.
Thus once a 'proper' enterprise configuration has been
established and saved via 'W', it can be copied to the
/etc/ directory. Thereafter, startup in the absence of
a saved rcfile will use that configuration as default.

Now if a distribution packager or system administrator
wishes to expose their users to some of top's advanced
capabilities they can do so gradually. Perhaps setting
up graph mode for summary area task and memory display
while retaining the %CPU sort could be tried. Or maybe
showing colors, but better customized for a particular
terminal emulator. Such possibilities are now endless.

[ in exploiting this new capability, i hope that the ]
[ other windows (alt display mode) aren't overlooked ]

89db82d143 top: provide -1 command line switch as 'Cpu(s)' toggle
If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
program displays each cpu individually providing there
is sufficient vertical screen real estate. For massive
SMP environments this will necessitate use of a config
file where the cpu summary toggle ('1') could be saved
via the 'W' command. But, an rcfile may not be viable.

So this commit introduces a '1' command line switch to
emulate exactly the effects of the interactive toggle.

And since it is our first numeric switch some existing
parsing logic had to be changed slightly. Such changes
are, in truth, an improvement. For example, instead of
seeing "inappropriate '2'" with ./top -2 we'll now see
the vastly more appropriate error "unknown option '2'.

fb48b5d9fb top: provide -E command line switch for memory scaling
In their 3.2.7 version of top, Redhat introduced an -M
switch to automatically scale Summary Area memory data
to avoid truncation (and the resulting '+' indicator).

The procps-ng top does not employ suffixes with memory
data nor does it allow for different scaling with each
separate value. Rather, scaling appears at line start.

If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
Summary Area memory will be scaled at GiB which should
lessen chance of truncation. Otherwise KiB was used to
reflect such memory, increasing the truncation chance.

And while 'W' can be used to preserve some appropriate
scaling value, there are arguments against such rcfile
approaches as cited in the issue and bug report below.

So this commit will bump the Summary Area memory scale
factor from KiB to MiB when using --disable-modern-top
as a concession to that Redhat bug report noted below.

And it also introduces a new command line switch which
can force any desired scaling regardless of the rcfile
or which ./configure option might have been specified.

[ for top's help text we'll show 'E' as if it were a ]
[ switch without arguments in order to keep the help ]
[ text displayable without wrap in an 80x24 terminal ]

[ the man page, however, will show all k-e arguments ]

5892540819 top: man page now includes resident memory enhancement
Since support already exists in the newlib branch this
represents an equivalent master branch implementation,
and this commit message is shared with 2 more patches.

Beginning with linux-4.5, the following new fields are
being added under that /proc/<pid>/status pseudo file:
 . RssAnon - size of resident anonymous memory
 . RssFile - size of resident file mappings
 . RssShmem - size of resident shared memory

p.s. Locked resident memory support was also added but
isn't directly related to the kernel 4.5 enhancements.

p.p.s. Archlinux, Debian-stretch and Fedora-23 already
are currently using a 4.5 linux kernel (as of 6/2/16).

e4bbd3ca1a top: improve/correct several memory fields in man page
Due to quirks in kernel memory management plus limited
information available from /proc/<pid>/status & statm,
some of the top resident memory fields were capable of
exceeding available physical memory. So this commit is
a bit of a band-aid until the kernel has been changed.

Such a change appears to be on the horizon in the form
of three new fields to be added to /proc/<pid>/status.
While not preventing 'resident' memory from apparently
exceeding physical memory, the new fields will help to
clarify any such contingency, if/when we exploit them.

94e4749be3 top: extend '=' key to include active 'locate' request
It is documented behavior that when certain other keys
are active, sorts column highlighting will temporarily
be disabled. Among those keys is the 'L' (locate/find)
provision. The equals ('=') key can be used to restore
column highlighting by resetting other keys, except 1.

When a locate/find is active, the '=' key will have no
effect on 'x' column highlighting, which still remains
disabled. Further, when 'L' is active an 'x' keystroke
is processed changing the state of column highlighting
but without any visual clue (since it's yet disabled).

So this commit just extends the '=' key to embrace 'L'
processing resets, just like other highlight disabling
keys while avoiding 'x' state changes if approproiate.

8ef6cd91fc top: retire old stale startup defaults in favor of new
For over a decade top has used a startup configuration
mimicking the original redhat top. This decision dates
back to when the forked Sourceforge version was trying
to win over users in battles with that ancient kludge.

Will anybody deny that those defaults are coyote ugly?

Well, it is time that top presented a more modern look
at startup, providing that no saved rcfile exists. But
just in case some distro prefers that old, comfortable
look, there's the '--disable-modern-top' build option.

[ Pssst. With the widened memory fields it turns out ]
[ the 'Mem' default window had become almost useless ]
[ on an 80x24 terminal since %CPU & COMMAND were out ]
[ of view. So some other defaults were tweaked a bit ]
[ whether or not --disable-modern-top was specified. ]

96c330e3b3 top: afford each window its own cpu/memory graph modes
When those new cpu/memory graphs modes were introduced
they had global impact. In other words, the modes that
were chosen for a 'current' window affect Summary Area
appearance for every other window as well, even though
each window sets unique View_STATES/View_MEMORY flags.

I do not know how widespread the use of top's separate
window provisions is, but I do know that documentation
promises every window (field group) provides "a unique
separately configurable summary area". And even though
that promise does not include memory scaling (separate
'E' command) the graph modes are integral to 't' & 'm'
and those were already observed on a per window basis.

So this patch just takes the cpu and memory graph mode
values out of global scope in the configuration file &
gives each window its own unique pair of graph values.

41ab7f005e top: with new bar graphs, make 'b' toggle unrestricted
While the 'b' toggle remains window based (vs. global)
it should no longer require that the window be visible
and either the 'x' or 'y' toggles to be on. Previously
those requirements were intended to remind a user that
there must be something for this command to highlight.

With the introduction of graph modes (specifically the
the bar graph) the 'bold/reverse' toggle has important
implications beyond highlighting some columns or rows.

The %Cpu(s) graph and Mem portion of the memory graphs
are designed to offer a visual clue as to the separate
elements comprising them. But that separation could be
lost under some X color schemes or when top is running
without color (in monochrome mode) and the block graph
is selected. But, if the graph is then changed to bars
any separation always becomes visible whenever the 'b'
toggle is turned off. Portions then show in 'reverse'.

So from now on we'll check nothing, we'll just toggle.

[ Besides, with all the code thrown at restricting a ]
[ 'b' toggle use, it might have all been for naught. ]
[ That toggle could still be set/unset using the 'Z' ]
[ command and the color mapping screen. Geez Louise! ]

f3e55ee661 top: refactor man document so as to allow translations
The majority of changes in this commit are intended to
enable translation of top's man page. There were three
kinds of errors as seen by that po4a-updatepo program.

. a valid but unrecognized request concerning no-break
. an internally defined macro with a groff .de request
. occasional apostrophe at the beginning of some lines

With respect to the apostrophe, some have been changed
to back-tic since line placement could not be assured.
And other parts were re-flowed to avoid temptations to
escape as \' (technically an acute accent). Of course,
the opening back-tic with closing apostrophe looks odd
when ASCII, but should be rendered correctly as UTF-8.

It may yet be necessary to change the remaining single
'opening' quotes to back-tics as translation proceeds.
Should that become necessary, I intend to reduce quote
usage to the bare minimum throughout the man document.

There were also some formatting changes to enhance the
man2html output and then to other formats via htmldoc.
And, I wish to acknowledge that my meager groff skills
do not serve those programs very well at all. In other
words groff yet remains mostly incomprehensible to me.

Lastly a few content plus copyright updates were made.

b79b927f97 top: trade two groff_mdoc macros for groff equivalents
The .Bd and .Ed macros, from the mdoc collection, have
caused a few raised eyebrows (lintian, doclifter, etc)
in the past. With this commit, we will trade their use
for the standard existing groff .nf & .fi equivalents.

2876e074c0 top: change man document license used from GFDL to GPL
This patch brings the man document into agreement with
Debian's current licensing standards. The 3 urls below
discuss their concerns over the GFDL and also document
quite a few additional packages with similar licenses.

( jeeze, 12+ friggin' years & finally someone grep'd )
( for what was just a couple of 'invariant' sections )

3993fb0c8e top: eliminate troublesome apostrophes in man document
Some versions of man have had trouble with the leading
apostrophe employed with interactive commands/toggles.
Instead, a '?' would be displayed in their place. With
this patch all such conventions have now been removed.

c2afde130e top: documentation update, enable NUMA/Node extensions
This commit provides the NEWS and man document changes
supporting the new NUMA/Node top program enhancements.

For providing the initial impetus for this enhancement
I wish to thank Lance Shelton <LShelton@fusionio.com>.

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