402bf1903b top: extended 'scale_tics' function for Ctrl-E scaling
That normalization of the 'scale_tics' function in the
prior commit convinced me that I won't please everyone
with my arbitrary choices for the scaling transitions.

So, this patch will provide the users with a means for
setting their own scaling transition points with a new
toggle. Ctrl-E was chosen since the 'e/E' toggles were
already present as a means of scaling (albeit memory).

[ this toggle will also serve an educational purpose ]
[ by allowing one to see all the scaling conventions ]

The scaling a user establishes is saved in the rcfile.

71eb90c1b2 top: refactor 'scale_tics' function for better scaling
This patch refactors the 'scale_tics' function to more
closely parallel uptime shown on the first line of the
summary area. The old logic has been preserved through
the header file's new  #define SCALE_FORMER provision.

However, the former logic was actually a big disaster.
These are some potential problems with that old logic:

1. With respect to our time fields top no longer deals
solely with cpu time. So, the old limits of '68 weeks'
could possibly be insufficient to reflect those times.

2. Given the widths of top's new time fields, the code
never got beyond scaling to hours. For example, with a
ridiculously large span of 19 years, the scaled result
would then be shown as '167832h'. We never reached the
days ('6993d') or even the weeks ('999w') equivalents.

3. Similarly, with that 'TIME+' field and a large tics
value, results would then appear as 'MMMMMM:SS' rather
than the more meaningful 'HH:MM:SS' or days and hours.

So henceforth we will adopt these scaling conventions:

  MMM:SS.hh ... minutes:seconds.hundredths
  MMM:SS ...... minutes:seconds
  HH,MM ....... hours,minutes
  D+H ......... days+hours (with 'd' & 'h' suffixes)
  D ........... days (with 'd' suffix)
  W+D ......... weeks+days (with 'w' & 'd' suffixes)
  W ........... weeks (with 'w' suffix)

Note that, unlike our former scaling logic, that 'MMM'
portion won't be allowed to grow unconditionally. It's
limited (arbitrarily?) to 360 total minutes (6 hours).
Additionally, the 'HH' guy will be limited to 96 hours
(4 days) while that 'D' limit was set at 14 (2 weeks).

Whenever a limit is hit, scaling will advance a level.

9348d3b008 top: added some elapsed running time 'ELAPSED' support
When the 'STARTED' field was added, in the message for
the commit referenced below, I explained why 'ELAPSED'
shouldn't be implemented though it might be preferred.

Well, after climbing out of my box to do a little more
thinking, I came up with the way to add that 'ELAPSED'
field while avoiding the possible performance penalty.

Just do not show what would change with every refresh!

If we do not show the seconds portion of a scaled tics
amount then the problem goes away. And this comes with
an additional benefit. The HH,MM (hours,minutes) style
then is readily compared with that system uptime shown
as HH:MM. The only difference is just the comma/colon.

[ assuming the top uptime/load average toggle was on ]

a749414f16 top: tweaked the recently introduced 'STARTED' support
When the 'STARTED' field was added, the width was made
the same as the 'TIME+' field. Thus, a full time could
be shown (which then included hundredths of a second).

That kind of granularity is totally unnecessary. After
all, this column is potentially confusing enough since
it is so counterintuitive. So, this commit will reduce
the width of the field with some help from scale_tics.

Henceforth it will not include those ol' centiseconds.

c89421e83a library: trade 'float' type for a 'double', <pids> api
While we really do not need the extra precision, we'll
trade that recently introduced float type for a double

7647e96b0a top: added fields for 'start time' & 'cpu utilization'
This patch will exploit some new library capabilities.

[ one will raise eyebrows, the other likely will not ]

A new 'STARTED' field was added which shows the time a
process started after system boot. As such the largest
interval represents the most recently started process.

This is the field that will likely be questioned since
it's somewhat counterintuitive. But were we to instead
use TIME_ELAPSED, the value will change with every top
refresh. This will defeat any PUFF macro optimization.

The new '%CUU' field will probably be better received.
It represents the cpu usage over the life of the task.
When a process was showing high %CPU usage, this field
can be used to determine if it's an anomaly or normal.

[ and as with %CPU, %CUU shows a '?' when running in ]
[ a namespace when /proc was mounted with subset=pid ]

c69104b2b8 library: added important new functionality, <pids> api
This commit introduces some new capabilities available
in libproc-2 under the <PIDS> interface. Along the way
errors impacting some item values have been corrected.

The following summarizes the major changes being made.

1. The PIDS_TIME_START item was represented as seconds
since system boot but really held tics since boot. And
some programs properly divided it by Hertz to actually
yield seconds while others acted as if it already was.

So, now we have a new PIDS_TICS_BEGAN field and all of
the 'TIME' fields properly reflect seconds. With those
'TIME' fields, the type was changed to 'float/real' so
one could convert it back to tics without loss of some
centiseconds reflected in the Hertz guy (usually 100).

2. The boot_seconds was established in procps_pids_new
meaning it was fixed/unchanging. As a result, one item
(PIDS_TIME_ELAPSED) was rendered useless. So now, each
of the three retrieval functions establishes a current
boot_seconds well before the set functions are called.

3. Added a PIDS_UTILIZATION item that will provide the
CPU usage over the life of a process, as a percentage.

4. Added PIDS_TIME_ALL_C for symmetry with the similar
item called PIDS_TICS_ALL_C (which reflects raw tics).

5. That 'derived from' notation has been added to some
additional header items to reflect their true origins.

e5542f1fc3 free: Use wstr width and not length
The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.

However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.

As the referenced website says:
 Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
 align text.

Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.

As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.

French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!

9f4db0fb56 free: Fix first column justification
free has for many years had a problem with translated header columns
or the first column. This is because printf("-9s", str) doesn't use
the wide length of the string but the char length meaning they are
mis-aligned.

Using the mbstowcs() function to get the wide length and then
a precision parameter to append the right number of spaces after the
number means we get what we need.

9ad78da984 top: tweak the heck out of some command line help text
This patch began as just an attempt to make any option
which also included an argument a little more readable
by adding one space before the '=ARGUMENT' convention.

[ by the way, i don't agree with most of those other ]
[ procps-ng programs that use an '<arg>' convention. ]
[ it's too easily misread as an 'optional' argument. ]

[ top uses a convention like that found in coreutils ]
[ albeit now with one extra space before the equals. ]

In adjusting those arguments it was apparent that many
explanations already lined up nicely at the right hand
margin. So, this commit will force right-justification
with all explanations (as we do with commit messages).

[ and as a final challenge, for those options taking ]
[ an argument, that argument was repeated within the ]

We know that ent->d_name will fit under 64 bytes because we check the
name starts with a digit. The first change was simple and changed the
printf to use tgid like the task function below it.

Is everything under /proc that starts with a digit a directory with a
PID only? Today, it is but there are no guarantees.

The entire function works ok if every non-pid directory doesn't start
with a number. We don't check for strtoul() having an issue nor
if the for loop just falls off the end. The moment the kernel guys
(or some module writer) think "/proc/12mykernelval" is a neat idea this
function is in trouble. We won't get buffer overflow as we are
using snprintf at least.

This change now:
 We check if strtoul() actually came across a number
 Process the pid directory as a conditional branch
 Treat falling off the for loop as a not-found

logic, any such increase really becomes insignificant.

Now summary_show's a svelte 57 lines of code/comments.

0e744d3656 top: provide for avoiding task focus ('F') distortions
In the patch referenced below the focus task logic was
improved to ensure that newly cloned tasks 'above' the
focused task did not force an effect like the up arrow
key. That commit also acknowledged that when some task
'above' ended, it *would* act like the down arrow key.

Well, with this commit a task ending 'above' a focused
task no longer distorts the focus. That's assuming the
new '#define FOCUS_HARD_Y' is specified plus the total
focused tasks does not exceed the current screen rows.

Thus, the manual scrolling with up and down arrow keys
is allowed when the total focused exceeds screen rows.

[ but keep in mind that when a focused task has been ]
[ hardened some otherwise useful toggles will not be ]

16145af663 top: adapt for running with proc mounted as subset=pid
As the issue cited below illustrates, a pids namespace
with proc mounted as subset=pid denies our library any
access to non-task data. In top's case, the result was
a fatal error message which involved "cpu statistics".

With this patch top will now assume an error involving
global cpu (stat) or memory (meminfo) data means we're
running under a restricted pids namespace. As such, an
attempt will be made to still display task level data.

[ if our assumption is incorrect, it's of no matter. ]
[ instead of a fatal error, we'll still try to offer ]
[ a user some minimally useful bit of functionality. ]
